Originating from South Africa, my photography has always encompassed issues around social and cultural diversity. My practice has exclusively involved documenting people within the portraiture genre. I feel my strength as a photographer lies within this field, where I am able to establish a relaxed and empathetic working relationship with my subjects. This is reflected in both the spontaneous street work I have undertaken, as well as in the residencies and commissions I have undertaken.
