So here's a challenge - anyone willing to take a guess at the making of this image?

Model: Melani

Rika's tumbling hair framed her intense gaze perfectly.

'The Classical Series' Red

"Good morning"

many thanks. The concept for this series was inspired by a great lecturer at Johannesburg College of Art and a mind-taxing drawing lesson he once gave us. I hope to publish the series as an E-Book.

Many thanks Kyle. This whole series is destined to become an E Book.

Absolutely - every day is a chance for new experiences, There's a great song by Nickleback 'If today was your last day' that sums up living in the moment.

More from 'The Chair' series. I found the light through the woven rattan seat of the chair interesting.

'The answer is blowin in the wind'

Trying to think back over the years and different platforms but I cant recall - Did you and gabi ever get to shoot together?

With apoligies to Julio Iglesias, the caption might be 'To oil the girls I've loved before'

More from 'The Chair' series

One of many from 'The Chair' series working with different models and different chairs, using the chair more as a sculptural shape rather than a utilitarian item

Warm Autumn morning. Model: Sarah.

This is the kind of image that makes me want to walk straight through the computer screen and into that landscape.

A cheeky look from Sarah

Very clever concept.

Oops - my bad, The guitar is of course a left hander. Bit of brain fog on my part loking at things back to front 😂

I'm very impressed - I see you are left handed (according to this pic) but your axe is a right hander?

Our shoot with Melissa for the 'Earth Mother' series

Just about everyone in the nude genre shoots bodyscapes at some time or other. This was a shoot with Chantz.

'Be your own light' Shot on the old mine dumps of the East Rand near the City of Benoni

Dirkie is one of the few dancers we have had a chance to work with so far. This set relied on a mix of tungsten lighting with a slow shutter speed and studio flash to freeze a moment in the dance move.

'Framed' a set with Rika. The full set is on my Patreon page.

On the contrary, I usually get my head totally engrossed in concept development so that on shoot day I have a very specific plan. I sometimes envy the photographers who can head out to some random location with a model they have not worked with before and shoot great images on the fly.

Many thanks. Jessica really took ownership of the concept and played the role exceptionally. There is a second part to this shoot where we changed the set into a sort of rustic bathhouse - I'll post some of those soon.

'Awakening of the Earth Mother'

A few more images from 'The Bakers Daughter'

Thank you so much Jenifer. Thuli was a wonderful model to work with. It's a pity we only did one shoot together.
