Welcome.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

My story and the message of my work:-<\/h4>\n

With a passion for the environment I can with pride\u00a0say that today I am counted as a renowned South African photographer who is best known for my Nguni cattle, African landscapes and other animal images.<\/p>\n

I was\u00a0born in Vryheid and later went to live at a little German school \u2018Braunschweig\u2019 bordering the then Natal and Transvaal where my father was principal and my mother a teacher.<\/p>\n

My father was always interested in Zulu culture and would photograph the local Zulus in their traditional regalia. My first language was Zulu and I grew up entrenched in the Zulu culture.<\/p>\n

When I was\u00a0not out riding, I spent time with my friends, hunting rock pigeons or fishing in the Pongolo river.<\/p>\n

I \u00a0later went to Durban High School and followed in my father\u2019s footsteps as a teacher. I currently live in the Midlands in Kwa Zulu Natal and am\u00a0married to Wendy and we have two sons.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>

 <\/p>\n

I \u00a0took up photography in my retirement and only began selling my photographs due to the overwhelming response people have had to my work.<\/p>\n

My knowledge of the animals I photograph set me apart.<\/p>\n
