Read All About It, Read All About It

Big news, I've left my agent, Glamour Mechanics, that I have been with for the past 5 years. They were amazing at getting me to where I am today but it is time for me to fly solo. And seeing that flying solo is the new black I think I have made the right decision. Don't know if there is anything else to say on the subject so here is a pic from a shoot I did for Joburg Style last week. It is was taken during a break from the cover shot.

Fly Fishing Heaven

So I said I was going to shoot a lot this weekend but I totally underestimated the fishing at Finsbury. It was without a doubt the best fly fishing I have ever experienced. Between Brendan and I we landed about 50 beautiful rainbow trout in 3 days, and missed so many more. You can read more about the trip here. Here are 3 of the pics I've worked on so far and the last one is a very out of focus shot of me with one of the many rainbows shot by Brendan.

Durbs By The Sea To Finsbury

I have just finished packing my fly fishing gear, camera gear and have tied enough flies to last for a life time. And why you ask, because I am off to Finsbury tomorrow. Finsbury is just outside of Lydenburg and has some of the most pristine streams crammed full of wild rainbow and brown trout, and I was lucky enough to get an invite to go with Brendan Body, editor of Session Skateboarding Magazine. I'll be back on Sunday and am planning to shoot quite a bit so I'll be posting sometime next week.
For now here are 2 pics from Durban I shot a few weeks ago. I was doing a shoot for S.A. Tourism and did a shot on a yacht out on the ocean, it was awesome. Not so awesome for my girlfriend Leksa and my assistant Lexi (below) who both got horribly sea sick. Oh well...

Not A Story on 'Story'

So this was going to be a story about the designer Sanche Frolich and her label, 'Story'. I planned to do it in a similar way to the shoot I did with Gideon in Durban last year, which you can see here. It didn't turn out the way though, there was just too little time, too little space and it was way too dark backstage. So the images aren't really a series about 'Story' as much as they are just pics from fashion Week. Maybe next time I can get the story on 'Story'.

Premature Holiday Mode

Just checked my blog and realized how slack I have been with posting. Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm getting into holiday mode way too soon and just feel like fly fishing and sinking a few cold ones. I've also done a few shoots that I can't release yet but for your viewing pleasure here are a few of those shots. The first shot is from the Cosmo/ Face of Africa shoot which we shot in Zanzibar, the second is a fashion editorial for Dossier which we shot in Durban, and the third is from a shoot with the Blk Jks for Dossier.
