Evoking mindful sentimentality through film photography

I'm a Kimberley-born, Cape Town-based writer, editor, and photographer, with a background in psychology. My images celebrate nostalgia and embrace sentimentality while pursuing spaces that evoke a sense of calm in a fast-paced world. Behind my lens, the focus is on capturing the feeling of seeing things for the first time, multiple times and as often as possible. I’m a self-taught photographer who specialises in 35 mm and medium format film.

Collaborative creativity and solo artistry

Collaboration is key to my creative process, as seen through partnerships with SAD x SMAC and brands like Woolworths. These collaborations allow me to adapt my vision to diverse projects and broaden my creative horizons. My solo exhibitions, Light Moments and Somewhere between then and now, serve as platforms to curate and present my work in a cohesive and impactful manner, solidifying my position as a solo artist with a distinct voice.

My Vision

Central to my artistic vision is capturing the feeling of seeing things for the first time, eliciting emotional responses, and evoking a sense of wonder. In essence, my unique blend of experiences and artistic vision positions me as a compelling and distinctive figure in the creative landscape.


My ability to seamlessly navigate writing, editing, and photography, coupled with my keen insight into human psychology, ensures that my work resonates deeply with audiences both locally and internationally.
