Here are some studio shots I've been working on.  Must say that the results are truly amazing.  The colours are vivid and bright and I just love the clarity.  Obviously nothing even compares to natural light but this is in a league of its own.

More than just a party, the Matric dance is the highlight of the South African school calendar. This formal dance marks the end of high school and the start of a new chapter.  AI image The Cultural Significance of the Matric Dance in South Africa In South Africa, the matric dance is more than just a party—it’s a cultural milestone, a symbolic bridge between youth and adulthood, and a moment that holds deep meaning for students, families, and communities alike.

Whether it’s a 21st birthday or a backyard wedding, a great speech hits harder than any photo ever could. Here's why I live for them—and why every event needs one. Ashleigh Seton-Rogers Look, not only do I love photographing events, but I'm also a sucker for good human-made prose, and nothing beats a great speech at an event, right?
