Born in South Africa in 1977, I moved to the UK in 1988 at the the age of 10. I was given an old slr camera, by my then photographer grand father, as a leaving present and that’s how it all started. My formal photographic training began at 15 with a GCSE (1year, Grade A+) in photography and then “A” levels (2 years) in Photography (A), Art (B) and Art history (B) at Lewes Tertiary College. From Lewes I went onto do a 1 year art, photography and design “Foundation course”at Brighton Technical College and then a Higher National Diploma (2 years) at the same college.
From there I went on to various jobs in print labs and photography studios, gradually building my experience in both photography and the business that surrounds it. 2003 marked a turning point when I quit my full time job and set up Perceptive Photography . I haven’t looked back since and consider myself privileged to do the thing I love and call it work. I am passionate about what I do and truly enjoy doing it, which I hope comes across in my photographs. In the last few years I have gained my licentate to the Royal Photographic Socienty (LRPS)and the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographer (LSWPP).

In my spare time I enjoy, paragliding(BHPA -CP pilot rated), snowboarding, mountain biking, scuba diving (padi advanced open water diver), surfing and any other adrenaline packed sport I can find.
