Emma

My friend, Emma, is one of those fortunate people who is blessed with flippen awesome hair. Sometimes I just want to crawl in her locks and camp there (if it was possible and not creepy, I would). I took some photos of her a while ago and made this in honour of her hair.


Well done Emma for maintaining the hair of destiny!

Free Creative

I recently attended the Free Creative fashion show at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. The Free Creative is the cream of Nelson Mandela University’s first, second and third year fashion designers. It inspires young fashion design students to express and formulate their individual style and translate a future aesthetic. This year the students used a completely new approach, developing sculptural three dimensional fabric manipulation. I was part of the photography team who photographed the event.

You are what you eat

You Are What You Eat is a series of portraits by photographer Mark Menjavar made by examining the interiors of refrigerators in homes across the United States.

Mark Menjivar says: ''A refrigerator is both a private and a shared space. One person likened the question, "May I photograph the interior of your fridge?" to asking someone to pose nude for the camera. Each fridge is photographed "as is." Nothing added, nothing taken away.

These are portraits of the rich and the poor. Vegetarians, Republicans, members of the NRA, those left out, the under appreciated, former soldiers in Hitler’s SS, dreamers, and so much more. We never know the full story of one's life.''
