I am a freelance project manager/editor and work mainly in the field of educational publishing. My work also include photo research and materials development.
Photography is a passion and I am particularly interested in graphic images and the beauty of everyday objects and situations. Those pictures, which we often overlook or ignore, are the ones I try to capture. They’re around me and in me. Hidden in the kitchen, in a smile or in an unexpected ray of sunlight. And through the lens, I grab them and share them.
I am based in Napier, a small town near Cape Town, South Africa.
