I loved working with you too Go Trolley Films! Thank you for giving me such a purpose-filled opportunity. An honour to photograph the extraordinary women who are modelling courage, resilience and leadership to so many people ❤️

We loved working with Tessa Barlin during our recent shoot for non-profit mothers2mothers. Tessa is seen here with Josephine Kalombola, a M2M spokeswoman from Malawi.

In the past 20 years, Mothers2Mothers have shown that Anything is Possible! Since 2001, they have:
reached almost 15M people;
helped to keep 2.1M mothers and children alive who may otherwise have been at risk of maternal or infant mortality;
helped to keep 4.4M adults HIV-negative in the past 7 years alone;
assisted 1.2M people to access life-saving antiretrovirals since 2008.

It was the greatest privilege to be able to deliver this workshop. I learned so much from the WSO students!

I recently bought a new camera - the Sony A7 IV! I'm so excited to finally have my own full frame mirrorless camera. Have been playing around with it around the garden and am really pleased with the results.

Some nudibranchs I photographed yesterday with my new dive light. Castle Rock and A-Frame. Beautiful conditions. Shot with Olympus TG-6 :)

Here are some photos I took on a hike through the forest in the Drakensberg last year. I’m always enthralled by nature’s little (and big) details.

Dive into the magic beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

This weekend saw perfect conditions with crystal clear waters. And of course, as Murphy’s law would have it, I’d booked a flight to Joburg! While I sat crying inside at how much I was missing out on, I decided to edit this video!

Here is a glimpse into the diving I’ve been doing this year. There is something incredibly healing about being in this beautiful environment. Cape Town is one of only two places in Africa that kelp occurs naturally. And it is home to a plethora of wildlife. Cold, nutrient dense water sustains this unique ecosystem and all life, from the tiniest plankton to the largest whales, thrive here.
