Contact

Grant was super professional. Work is outstanding and images sent in a quick turnaround time. Hugely appreciated.

Cindi Lewis - Kantar Marketing Group

Relaxed, natural and timeless. Every photo feels genuine, and every little moment is captured beautifully without it ever feeling forced.

Maruchka Pretorius - Moosh Creative

If you’re looking for someone who can make every moment look effortless, this is your photographer. Incredible talent, a great eye for detail, and somehow always manages to capture the moments you didn’t even know you’d want to remember. Highly recommend

Mariana Barata - GLH Architects

Chasing natural light for this portrait with El. Before her big move to L.A., I wanted to create a simple, authentic look focused on soft directional lighting and clean tones.

Sometimes the simplest setups tell the best story. 📸

Nothing beats the adrenaline of dynamic motion shots! 📸

I had to hang out the back of an SUV cruising through a tunnel to capture this beast in full power for Sesfigile Logistics. High speed, dynamic lighting, and a shot worth every second of the rush.

Transformations don't happen overnight—they are built day after day in the gym when no one is watching.

Got to capture my mate Rick in the studio to celebrate his unbelievable physique journey. Beyond proud to help document the rewards of his relentless hard work. Keep raising the bar, brother! 💪🔥

Embrace the beauty of Badgerleur Bush Lodge through this stunning photoshoot! This editorial-style production is a testament to the power of creativity, now featured in a prestigious stock library. I'm thrilled to have witnessed the magic of capturing life's precious moments during the game drive.

Capturing this image for People Magazine SA was a challenging endeavor. Shooting in direct sunlight at Melrose Arch Fire & Ice hotel required precise balance to showcase the stunning white dress. Thankfully, our Profoto equipment delivered exceptional results.

A fashion editorial for People Magazine South Africa -OMG, we're freaking out because our latest fashion editorial just landed a spot in People Magazine South Africa! 🇿🇦 We're talking drama, people! The model is serving looks against a backdrop that's straight out of a wildfire, but somehow it works? The contrast is wild - like, who needs a spotlight when you can just set the background on fire? 😂

On location in the vibrant city of Johannesburg, capturing the beauty of this stunning model doing what photographers do best - bringing out the best in their subjects! I absolutely love shooting portraits like this, where the lighting is just right, the mood is relaxed, and the subject's personality shines through. There's something so fulfilling about freezing a moment in time and preserving it forever.
