About

I have always been drawn to the quieter stories of the natural world.

The orchid flowering briefly after rain.

A bird returning to a restored landscape.

A species adapting in ways we are only beginning to understand.

The relationships between plants, animals, landscapes and people that reveal how deeply connected everything truly is.

These moments have shaped the way I see and tell stories.

I am a conservation storyteller, photographer, writer and illustrator exploring the connections between species, landscapes and people.

My work sits at the intersection of science, creativity and communication, bringing together photography, natural history, writing and visual storytelling to reveal the deeper narratives behind the natural world.

Because the most meaningful stories are not always the most obvious.

They are often found by looking closer.

Before focusing on conservation storytelling, my career was built around branding, creative direction, design and visual communication.

Over more than twenty years, I have worked with organisations to understand their identity, define their voice and communicate their purpose through thoughtful storytelling.

This foundation continues to shape my approach today.

I don't simply create beautiful imagery.

I consider the story behind it.

The audience experiencing it.

The message it needs to communicate.

The feeling it should leave behind.

This combination of strategic thinking and creative craft allows me to work across editorial, conservation, hospitality and purpose-led brands, creating stories that are authentic, visually compelling and meaningful.

My work in the natural world began with curiosity.

A desire to understand the species and landscapes that are often overlooked.

Over the years, I have documented rare and endangered flora, indigenous orchids, wildlife, conservation landscapes and the people whose lives are deeply connected to the environments they inhabit.

From intimate macro studies to expansive wildlife stories, my photography explores both the individual subject and the larger ecological systems they belong to.

Alongside commissioned work, I dedicate time to long-term personal projects that explore the hidden narratives of the natural world.

One such project, Ephemeral, was a five-year photographic exploration of indigenous ground orchids of the Western Cape.

These elusive plants, often flowering for only a brief moment before disappearing again, became a study of patience, observation and the beauty of what is easily missed.

The project became a self-published photographic book, part natural history study, part artistic exploration and part reflection on the fragile nature of existence.

These personal projects continue to shape the way I approach every story: with curiosity, respect and a commitment to understanding before documenting.

My work has been shaped through collaborations with conservation organisations, wildlife destinations, hospitality brands and purpose-led businesses who share a commitment to meaningful storytelling.

Selected collaborations include:

• Gondwana Private Game Reserve
• Madikwe Safari Lodge
• SOUTH Magazine
• Veld & Flora Magazine
• Gondwana Conservation Foundation

Through these partnerships, I have created photography, written stories, visual content and creative direction that help communicate the value, identity and purpose behind each project.

The natural world is constantly communicating.

Through seasons.

Through adaptation.

Through relationships.

Through change.

My role is to pay attention: to observe, understand and translate those stories into a form that allows others to connect with them.

Whether working with an editor, conservation organisation, lodge or brand, the question remains the same:

What story is already here?

Because the best stories are not created by looking further.

They are discovered by looking closer.
