Summary

I have been working full time as a self-employed photographer & retoucher in the beauty and fashion industry since 2015.I have a keen eye for composition and love clean, minimalist aesthetics and excel in executing the brief of any client. I love retouching and bringing the image to life in its final stages, whether that means cleaning skin, helping create a mood or simply straightening out lines to create something clean and precise before delivering to the client for digital use or print.
Over the years I have worked with the likes of Zozibini Tunzi (Miss Universe 2020/Miss South Africa 2019), Marios Company Hair, TFG, Woolworths SA, SpecSavers, Pond's, FEDISA, ORMS, Miss Namibia, That Shoe Lady, Bacon Bikinis, Modern Hair & Beauty, Merchants On Long, Essence Cosmetics, Elrico Zarr any many more.
