Starting with organizing and marketing small events, I eventually progressed to music journalism. My journalism career introduced me to some wonderful people and is a story in and of itself. Finding myself behind the barrier at most shows, I decided it would be better to spend my time capturing these events, as well as writing about them. I have been focused on capturing live music events since ea
rly 2015. In my tenure as a photographer, I have had the opportunity to capture a wide array of bands, both local and international. I have been privileged to be (and continue to be) the official photographer for a number of bands (including but not limited to): Seether (USA), Atreyu (USA), Bowling for Soup (USA), Fokofpolisiekar (RSA), Francois Van Coke (RSA), Van Coke Kartel (RSA), Facing The Gallows (RSA), Tweak (RSA), Spoegwolf (RSA), Vulvodynia (RSA), BCUC (RSA), Angie Oeh (RSA), Jack Parow (RSA), Hellcats (RSA), Deity's Muse (RSA), Made for Broadway, as well as for many festivals (and other artists). Notable international acts photographed include: Guns 'n Roses, The Cure, Seether, Myles Kennedy, Incubus, Atreyu, August Burns Red, Tesseract, Monuments, Norma Jean, Protest The Hero, 36 CrazyFists, Fit For A King, Crown The Empire, Our Last Night, Alien Ant Farm, Intervals, Memphis May Fire, Eskimo Callboy (Electric Callboy), Mantar, DevilDriver, Kanivool, I See Stars, Attila, American Authors, Alestorm, Clean Bandit, Modest Mouse, Yelawolf, Kongos, Secrets; among many others.
