Talking about Africa, photography, and storytelling—with my framed canvas prints setting the scene behind me. Honoured to be invited by Lionstudiosframing to judge the local print exhibition. So much talent and heart from our local photographers. Moments like these remind me why we do what we do.

Thanks a lot, Jane! 🙏 It’s always amazing how light and timing can completely change a scene, isn’t it?

Thank you so much, Laura! ☺️ Glad it spoke to you. Do you enjoy shooting seascapes too?

Beautifully said, Jimmy. You’re absolutely right, the ocean never runs out of stories to tell.

Both taken at the same beach, same sunset but seen in two different ways.
One moment, I focused on the tiniest reflection in a bubble. Next, I let the ocean move freely through the frame.

Isn’t it amazing how one place can tell two completely different stories?
