There is no words to describe the feeling you get when you hear for the first time a truly gifted artist who you know will have a great impact on your life. And Gareth Esson has been one of those artists in the last couple of years, like my wife of course and the incredible…
Tonight was interesting for me as I haven’t been back at the jazzCafe for a long time. The few of you who read this blog regularly know that their previous management was particularly difficult with photographers for years. And I, for one, decided a while back to simply not cover any gig there. The good…
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from my good friend Rob, a talented journalist based in london, telling me that the Editor of Business Class (South Africa) was looking for an Editorial photographer and that he recommended me – Cheers Rob! After a couple of emails and some info about the brief…
Ahh this particular shoot is an interesting one actually, not so much because of who or where, but rather how. I got contacted by B&S‘s editor, Lee, a couple of months ago. We arranged for a time and place and off i went. When I arrived at the venue, I was told *nicely* that we…

I’d write heaps about that night if I had to, but thank god I don’t as I wasn’t alone. So i’ll leave it to my compadre to describe the vibes for you. In the words of Gareth Morgan, Blues and Soul Journalist: Back in 1998, radio and club DJ Gilles Peterson started an All Winners…
I met Tyler a few weeks back at his official album launch in Apartment58 – Brilliant and lovely guy really. Not pretentious at all. Even a little nervous if you asked me. But all in all a pretty good performance. The audience seemed particularly responsive. While we wait for the review on Blues And Soul…
A couple of weeks ago, I DOP’s on a music video for Russel Grant. It’s been a great experience, especially working with a team whose work I respect. We filmed at Elstree Studios, in London. It’s a brilliant place, where we had to put together a whole set. Hope you enjoy it! Edit: the video has…
Louis Skellington, after retracing in his head the multitude of failures of his life, decides to commit suicide. And to do so, he puts down on a table things to that effect: A rope, a bottle of bleach, razor blades. Facing his options, Louis doesn’t know what to choose… Directed by my good friend Olivier…
