What a scenic trip. This is me flying the drone to film us on the road to Vrede while Jaco drives the car.

2018-03-09 - I need more Coffee ...
Way too early to be sitting here trying to look awake. Going to need a lot of coffee.
We have a photo and video shoot at a school in KwaZulu-Natal this morning. Plane is boarding at 05:25, so Zaheer and I had to be on the road at 04:00 this morning to get all the camera equipment checked in on time at O.R. Tambo International.
I am getting too old for this.
2018-03-08 - Photographer on the move ...
Packing my carry-on bag for the plane.
These are my essential tools of the trade. The tripods and big stuff go in the cargo but this stays with me.
- Canon 5D Mark IV Camera
- Canon 5D Mark III Camera
- Canon 100mm Macro Lens (one of the sharpest lenses ever)
- Canon 28-70 Lens
- Canon 17-40 Lens (definitely my favourite lens)
- Canon 70-200 Lens
- 2x Profoto B1 Mono Heads
- 6x Profoto Batteries
- B&W P7 Headphones (can't survive the flight without my music)
- Prescription Glasses (yes the eyesight ain't what it used to be)
2018-02-02 On the road again ...
A commercial photographer's life is lived mostly on the road or in the air these days. Limpopo today, next week will be mostly Gauteng and then off to KwaZulu-Natal. This photo was taken from the car earlier, using my phone.
Shooting in and around Malelane today. For those of you who have never been to South Africa, Malelane is a town in Limpopo on the border of the Kruger National Park.
Check it out in Google Maps if you want.
We were on the road at 02:00 this morning and won't be home until late.
2018-02-01 Discovery - Way to start the year ...
Backing up my work for January, I came across some fun photos of Chad le Clos & Wayde van Niekerk from my first shoot of the year.
What great guys! Some celebrities still know how to keep it real.
The shoot for our client Discovery went really well, the models were great, and may I just say - Profoto kicks arse!
