When I’m not Instagramming I’m what you call a cinematographer , DP / director of photography . Basically I shoot TV series/ TV dramas or music videos or commercials.

3. How did you discover Instagram?

I discovered Instagram a couple of years ago when I looked for a different platform to showcase my photography , my dream job as always been to be a professional photographer, and Instagram made it easy for me to experiment with a new kind of medium, mobile photography .  I’m so fascinated by it that I don’t shoot on normal stills cameras anymore.

4. Who are some of your favourite SA Instagrammers?

This is a difficult question to answer. I can name a couple but I feel like I discover new talent and amazing Instagramers everyday.

5. Do you have any tips for anyone wanting to master the platform?

How to master the platform …mmm , be yourself , find your voice , your way of telling a story that has been told a million times before , shoot from the heart . We all try to be unique and different , I don’t think you can master it . I haven’t mastered it yet , you can only try and show people your vision, your point of view.

6. Do you have a particular photographic style?

My style , well I love taking pictures of people . Portraits…and finding that moment, that expression that tells a story. Other then that I like to experiment with different apps.

7. Where is your favourite place to take pictures in Johannesburg?

My favourite place to shoot must be on set . When I’m at work with my film crew. So many faces, and everyone is willing to join in my crazy experiments.
