It will be fitting to start this first blog post by thanking all the amazing people who have made my photography dream possible. Over the years I've had the good fortune to work with fantastic people in the modeling and fashion industry; people who generously shared their skill and talent, and helped me grow and attain my professional goals. It would be impossible and unfair to attempt a list of all those people here, as I'm bound to leave someone out. I will be going into more detail in future posts, but here are just a few people who've made a difference.
Irene was my favourite model: cheerful, enthusiastic, cheeky, laid-back, and always fun to work with. Thanks to her I did some of my best photography so far. I could fill an entire site with her images; they're that good. She has the most gorgeous body and face, and the personality to go with it. Irene, I salute you :-)
Belinda was the story that touched my heart. A few weeks after I first photographed her, she went through the most terrible time, with personal and family disasters that would have destroyed a weaker person. At our next meeting, she returned determined, focused, and completely certain about her direction in the modeling world. She bugged me until I finally took her to see a model management company from Cape Town, where they instantly recognized her as a diamond. She is perfect fashion material: tall, slender, and beautiful. Belinda not only made me proud as a photographer, she is also the daughter I never knew. I respect everything she achieved and worked for. Today Belinda is a successful model represented by Star Model Management, with an impressive portfolio.
