I’ll soon be headed to Mauritius for a week of sunshine, SUPing and sipping on cocktails. There are of course all the normal items I cannot go without, eg, camera, phone, chargers, drone etc. but there are a few items that some of you may find useful that aren’t the conventional type. I love to […]

Denis Private island | Seychelles
Pure paradise. This is my second trip to Denis private island and I couldn’t wait to get there. The island has such a sense of calm around it. Quiet, peaceful and awe-inspiring beautiful. The fact that you are literally in the middle of the Indian Ocean may have something to do with it… Apart from […]
Azao resort and spa | Zanzibar
Azao resort and spa has just been built and is a brand new resort style hotel on the east coast of Zanzibar. There are loads of activities to do on the huge property and the beach is a wonderland full of little caves and overhangings. I had such a great time exploring the rocks when […]
Warere Beach | Nungwi, Zanzibar
Warere quickly turned into a favourite of Zanzibar for me. As soon as I stepped into the boutique hotel I knew I was going to love it. Intimate but big enough to keep to yourself and views that go on forever. The bungalow that I stayed in could have had something to do with it […]
Hotel aerial photography
A bird’s eye view is one that many people don’t get to see. To view a resort or lodge from the air is quite special – the colours and textures become something magical bringing the photograph to life. If you would like aerial photos of your lodge or resort please contact me. Aerial photography all […]
Inyati Game lodge | Sabi Sands
This is my second time shooting at the stunning Inyati game lodge. Their property lies right on the banks of the Sand river so the game viewing is pretty exceptional and even just sitting on the lodge deck, you can feel it is a really special place. Everything about the lodge is warm and inviting […]
Tau lodge | Madikwe game reserve
This is my second time shooting Tau lodge – a favourite of mine. The last time I visited the lodge I saw 2 lionesses hunting a warthog at the dam in front of my room which was pretty incredible. Anybody who is keen to visit Madikwe will love the lodge. Tau has quite a lot […]
Amadwala lodge | Muldersdrift
I recently shot at Amadwala lodge in Muldersdrift. A place you would never expect to see where it is. Driving along the busy Joburg roads you arrive at a sanctuary in the Honeydew hills that makes you feel as if you have driven 2 hours out of Johannesburg and into a game farm. The cabins […]
Hotel White Sands | Dar es Salaam
Just outside the hustle and bustle of Dar es Salaam lies Hotel White Sands. A tranquil oasis in the usually traffic ridden city. This beautiful spot has a huge beachfront that looks out to the neighboring local islands and is the perfect spot for exploring the city. Tweet
Elephant portfolio
Elephants as a subject have been a long time favourite of mine. Over years and years of photographing them I’ve put together a little portfolio of some of my favourite images. I hope you enjoy them! Tweet
KonoKono Beach Resort | Zanzibar
KonoKono is probably one of the most secluded, private and beautiful resorts I have been to in Zanzibar and to shoot the property was just amazing. Everywhere you look is just absolutely beautiful. I’d really REALLYYYY suggest this spot to all you honeymooners out there. KonoKono (meaning snail in Swahili) was made for honeymooners. As […]
Photographing La Digue | Part 2
There are loads of beautiful and traditional places to stay on the island but these would be my recommendations for a traveller looking for a little bit more luxury and a hotel vibe. Where to stay: Reccomended accommodation: Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie La Digue island lodge Patatran Hotel How to get there: Flights from South […]
Photographing La Digue | Part 1
The islands of the Seychelles are some of the most beautiful in the world. Azure tropical blues of the seas, emerald greens of palm trees and Coco de Mer plants and jet black granitic rocks are mixed with the soft hues of the evening and morning light. All of these aspects make up the perfect […]
Sanctuary Retreats | Swala, Tarangire
The second lodge I photographed in Tanzania for Sanctuary Retreats was the mystical Swala. Tarangire is one of the least visited parks in the country so it was a great privilege to shoot there. The park is known for its Baobabs and Elephants, both of which there are plenty, making for beautiful photography in almost […]
Bushman’s Hide | Vaalwater
Bushman’s hide just outside Vaalwater is hidden in the wilderness of the Waterberg biosphere nature reserve. A breathtaking vision of understated luxury amid the archaeological treasures and biological diversity of this beautiful wilderness. Think endless horizons and rustic decor reminiscent of a shabby chic Pinterest board. I especially loved how they plated their food. Each […]
Ant’s nest | Waterberg | South Africa
Ant’s nest in the Waterberg is a beautiful spot just outside of Vaalwater. The property is made up of Ant’s nest and Ant’s hill and caters specifically for riding safaris. It was only my second time on a riding safari and I absolutely loved it. There is something so special about being a part of […]
Inyati lodge | Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve | South Africa
I absolutely loved every minute of this shoot at Inyati. Set in such a beautiful part of our country, Inyati is only an hour flight from OR Tambo, landing on a strip in the middle of the Sabi Sands, what a pleasure. The lodge is intimate – Inyati consists of seven luxury chalets and four executive chalets. Each air-conditioned […]
Copolia Lodge | Mahe | Seychelles Islands
Copolia Lodge on Mahe was a breath of fresh air from my usual work in Seychelles. I’m usually down at the beach (don’t get my wrong, I love the sea!) photographing seaside hotels and lodges but Copolia is situated high in the mountains of Mahe and is all about the nature of Seychelles, promoting body […]
Bel Horizon Self Catering | Mahe | Seychelles Islands
Bel Horizon in Glasic, Mahe, Seychelles is a beautiful find for anyone looking to do self catering on the islands. The apartments are beautifully furnished with modern finishings and the view is incredible. Probably one of the best I have seen in the Seychelles. Waking up and looking out onto the huge expanse of ocean […]
Asilia Africa’s Matemwe Lodge | Zanzibar
The second lodge that I photographed in Zanzibar in January this year was the stunning Asilia Africa’s, Matemwe lodge. Situated on the north-east coast of Zanzibar it is quite hidden from most resorts and gives you a real feeling of authentic Zanzibar. Think rustic wooden and rope loungers and couches, the ocean breeze flowing through […]
