The New Year…. Firstly, this being the first post that I have been able to make in a while, I would like to wish all a super happy new year and ofcourse I wish all the best to you, your friends and loved ones.
The Updates?, The last few months especially December, were the busiest of my life and it has been a challenge and continues to be, but the work that we have been producing I can proudly say has been some of the best ever. So we cant wait to share it with you. In the last 8 weeks we have shot close to 30 photographic assignments, and have seen almost all of South Africa (ok take that with a pinch of salt), met heads of state, portraits of some of South Africas and the worlds global Icons and shared and captured many special days all over South Africa at the best place in the world to have a wedding.
I must apologize to all who have emailed me wondering why I haven’t been updating my site as much as usual, and the simple answer is….Cause we are shooting!! Now however, my staff are all back from holidays and we are still in the swing of things, and the editing is coming along nicely, and there are thousands of images to go through. If I am super busy or not that busy I have to dedicate an equal amount of time to every editing job, so be patient because this January and February should update you all with our latest work, and completed weddings!!
The Future/21 Global Icons! Ok, so I have been shy to share this information with everyone, but as the project comes to fruition and as we prepare to travel the world for the 21 Global Icons Project capturing 234 of the worlds living global icons, I now am happy to announce the project. 21 Icons Global Project is a visual celebration of human achievement and spirit. The 21 Global Icons team has undertaken to photograph the contemporary icons of the twenty-first century, one country at a time. Twenty-one men and women of accomplishment who have profoundly influenced each nation in a positive way. Individuals who have each excelled in their chosen discipline and selflessly contributed to the national community.
The subjects will represent fields of endeavor including humanities, science, economics, politics, arts, medicine, sport, education, law and spirituality. All of them remarkable in their own right. It is hoped that the beauty, honesty and humour of this unique portrait collection will inspire the icons of tomorrow.
The 21 Icons Global Collection will serve as an indelible artistic and historic record of the men and women who shaped the foundation of the global community of the twenty-first century.
Weddings??? Will I still shoot weddings?? The answer is yes. I love shooting weddings, and even though I will be a part of this ongoing project and even though I am fully committed to the project, I will still have gaps in South Africa where I will take bookings. So if you would like to know if I am free for your day, then please let me know and I will gladly reply. Luckily, most of the travel takes place in the off season of the South African wedding season. Email me if you would like more info on wedding bookings, The 21 Global Icons Project, or Nikon Equipment.
