“The whales do not sing because they have an answer
They sing because the have a song.”

- Gregory Colbert

Being underwater with my camera in hand is my song!

Taking photographs has been an essential part of my life as an artist, using the images as reference to create new art works, which are mainly figurative in nature.

So when I stumbled upon an underwater photograph site one day while browsing the Internet,
I just knew - This Is It – I can do this with my life! I sold my motorbike to buy a computer and an underwater housing for my camera.
And that was that. Now all I have to do is learn how to breathe underwater!

I am totally self-taught and have been taking underwater photographs for the last three years. I am constantly honing my skills as an artist and underwater photographer. My last big project was a series of underwater photographs depicting the six senses.

This work was selected for the prestigious Sasol New Signatures competition for 2008,
in which artists from all over South Africa participated.
