Picture perfect poppets

Earlier this year I discovered three gorgeous sisters, twins (8) and older sister (10), while doing street photography. As I drove past their house I saw a flash of flowing black hair against the backdrop of a yellow garage door in need of some repair... and hit the...

Shades of Gold and Green

Shades of Gold and Green

Dané has the colours of autumn hidden in her eyes. She’s energetic, fun-loving and effervescent in life; in front of the camera she’s shy and demure, as if the lens exposes a delicate vulnerability usually masked by her gregarious personality. We chose shooting...

With the first rays of sunlight struggling to penetrate the grape arbor on the eastern side of the house, a muted light was created that added enchantment to the images.

Old cars make for great props and the old truck with its wooden finish at the back really worked well in this photo of Anri. Although slight colour editing does sometimes make for interesting images, if you prefer to keep your images completely natural that’s what...
