My passion for aviation started before I can remember and then the lure of photography started some 25 years ago. I got my Private Pilot’s License when I was 18 years old, did my national service in the SAAF and then worked as a professional photographer from 1991 – 1995. I needed something more solid in my life and went off to study Electrical Engineering. The photography had to settle for becoming a hobby at that time.
I started back then doing weddings and corporate shoots, but it was up in the air that I really wanted to be. So in 2006 I decided that aviation photography was something I really wanted to pursue.
Looking back at those images now make me realize just how far I’ve come in five years, those early airshows and air to air to shoots were…well, let’s just say I won’t be publishing those images anytime soon.
Aviation photography was a huge learning curve and for the first time was forced to use shutter speeds that I would never dream of doing handheld. But after hours and hours spent on the sides of runways practising, it all started coming together.
Being a fine art wedding photographer didn’t really help me much in the beginning as far as aviation went but now I’m able to blend the creativity of that genre with my aviation work.
