Food Photography
I am at present busy doing a series of shoots for a cook book. It is lots of fun (tasting all the dishes!) and challenging at the same time.
The lighting decision that I made in the very beginning of the project was based on using a versatile and easy to replicate lighting setup. The shoot was going to take place (in the client's home), over a period of a few months, which ruled out the use of natural light (seasonal factors being one reason). To enable me to shoot at wide apertures (creative decision) and use even flash light, I decided to use two diffused studio flash heads, bouncing the light from the ceiling.
This whole idea, of course, had to change when it came to shooting the chapter dividers... small apertures and overhead shots need lots of light.
I am so looking forward to the end result (the book) and really very keen to take my food photography to the next dimension.

Mozart Festival Photography
I have to date photographed 6 events (rehearsals and concerts) and the most enjoyable aspect is the passion the artists have. I can identify with their passion, because it is similar to what I invest into most of my work as photographer.
Below is one of the most passionate and powerfull images I was able to capture thus far.
Apart from the great moment captured here, the camera settings are worth mentioning: 1/400, f/2.8, ISO5000 shot with a Nikon D800 and 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.

OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER for the Johannesburg International Mozart Festival - 2013
It was exciting when all was done and said to make me the official photographer for the festival concerts and rehearsals!
"The 5th Johannesburg International Mozart Festival takes place on an annual basis on and around 27 January – Mozart’s anniversary – at a time when the regular subscription series of the South African classical music scene come to a halt for their summer break and audiences will particularly enjoy the more informal character of festival music-making.
The Johannesburg International Mozart Festival provides a unique combination of classical performances on the highest international level with a keenly intelligent and creative approach to programming and an enterprising portfolio of all-encompassing education and outreach projects for children, students and audiences of all corners of society. Both the Festival’s logo and its website domain www.join-mozart-festival.org (“join” being an abbreviation of “JOhannesburg INternational”) reflect the Festival’s ambition and desire to invite people of all backgrounds and ages to join in and be united in the enjoyment and celebration of music."
