Photo Finish: A night of rugby, records, and women breaking barriers.
On Thursday evening, 19 September 2024, I had the privilege of photographing the South Africa vs Spain women’s rugby match at the iconic DHL Stadium in Cape Town. It was a moment I had long dreamed of — standing fieldside, camera in hand, ready to capture the electric energy of this thrilling encounter. In a field traditionally dominated by men, being one of the three female photographers there made the experience even more special.

Architecture and Interior Photography
I have a passion for architecture and capturing the beauty of a building both inside and out. I appreciate the details and intricacies of every building. Buildings are designed not only for practicality, they are designed for a purpose, to be used, to be enjoyed and to be beautiful and inspiring. It is amazing to see and capture the visions and designs of the architects and interior architects. Every building, every room, every thing has a story. The shapes, lines, textures and shadows hold the secrets and the stories of buildings. Architects design beautiful buildings to serve a purpose and to create a space where people want to be. When…

Electric City: Photographing Cape Town’s First E-Prix

The inaugural Cape Town E-Prix brought the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to South Africa for the first time—and placed the city firmly on the international motorsport stage. The setting could hardly have been more Cape Town. The 2.921-kilometre street circuit wound around the DHL Stadium precinct, with Signal Hill, Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean forming a dramatic backdrop. Twelve fast, unforgiving turns carried the cars along Vlei Road, Beach Road and Fritz Sonnenberg Road, transforming familiar city streets into one of the quickest circuits on…

Bellhouse – Peerutin Karol Architects
Photographing architecture is never only about documenting a building. It is about noticing how the structure responds to light, how the materials work together and how one space leads into another. Designed by Cape Town architectural practice Peerutin Karol, 8 Bellwood is a five-storey apartment building in Fresnaye, completed in 2021. The development replaced a single residence with five apartments, each occupying its own floor, together with ground-floor parking and a communal swimming pool. What interested me while photographing the building was the balance between its strong contemporary geometry and the warmth introduced through its materials. Rendered surfaces, tiles and expanses of glass are softened by timber flooring and external…
