Pro-photographer based in Cape Town. https://linktr.ee/JayCaboz
DM for prints I'm a multi-award-winning photojournalist based in Cape Town, South Africa.

My work has taken me to some of the most remote parts of Africa telling compelling stories of innovation, environmental conservation as well as technology. I've written stories about esports, rats that can sniff out land mines and one time was locked in an industrialized freezer to see if a jacket was warm. I've worked for Business Insider South Africa as well as Forbes Africa Magazine, both franchises of the international brands.

The best sun down spot in Cape Town? Bakoven, tucked right next to Camps Bay, Lion’s Head catching the last light while the swell smashes into these rocks on repeat.

Pieter, somewhere up there, completely dwarfed by the mountain and a sea of cloud that doesn’t seem to end.

It’s easy to forget how big Table Mountain actually is until you see someone standing on the edge of it. Just a tiny figure, a headlamp, and a whole lot of sky.

It takes fog AND a new moon on the same night to get skies this dark above Cape Town. This star trail is a stack of exposures over roughly 30 minutes, shot back in July when the conditions finally lined up. Some edits come together in an afternoon, this one took weeks of coming back to it before it finally clicked.

Some images I let marinate. A few hours here and there over weeks, playing with layers and different styles of editing until something finally emerges. This one’s a good example.

Taken back in July, on a rare night when fog and new moon landed on the same evening. The star trails are a stack of multiple exposures over the equivalent of thirty minutes, and Lion’s Head sits there holding its ground while the sky streaks past it. It’s not often the conditions line up enough to get skies dark enough to shoot stars above Cape Town, but when they do, it’s genuinely something to behold.

Summer of love? Magical to be able to see these two lions getting it on in the Kruger.

A 30 second exposure on Lion’s Head, which is exactly why the cloud looks like it’s moving. Every second of that half minute, the fog was rolling past the peak, and the camera just stacked it all into one long, slow breath of motion.

Blue hour on the mountain, with Lion's Head holding its ground above a sea of fog.
I stood here for a good while watching the light drain out of the sky, stars starting to come through, the city glowing somewhere under all that cloud like it's keeping its own secret. It's the quiet bit between the colour and the dark, and it might be my favourite part of the whole shoot.

First light touching Lion's Head, poking through a sea of fog over Cape Town. I was properly blown away by the detail in this one, every ridge and crack caught by that first warm light before the cloud swallows it again.

Would you wake up at 3am for this view? When the fog horn is blaring, it's a no-brainer for me. This morning's mission found and me along India Venster above the cloud line, where we watched wave after wave of fog breaking above Lion's Head, city lights glowing underneath like nothing's changed down there. Early starts like this are hard to justify until you're actually sitting up there watching it happen, then it makes complete sense.
