Food Photography
Food photography is visual and colourful. It is an exploration of taste, smell, texture and travel. The people you meet are all foodies, excited and eager to create and plate the next dish. Most of my food photography work originates from the West Coast in South Africa. That is where I started working with Isabella Niehaus. When you walk into the Duinhuis, Isabella is cooking at the red kitchen table with an ocean view. The house is grey, build on a dune. The natural light flows across the grey floor, a texture to compliment any dish.
Sunset Portraits
The years of photographing beautiful women in the sunset light on the beach were memorable. I loved it. You walk barefoot in the sand with icy Atlantic seawater washing over your feet. The summer days are long. The Sunset in the summertime in Cape Town is between seven and 8 pm. The light is fresh, with warm hues colouring the afternoon orange. I enjoyed many happy moments meeting all the women from all over the world.
Driving up the West Coast landscape is earthy-toned with a salty sea breeze. It is a tasty visual experience with a camera in hand.
