Afrika Burn: Late afternoon on the Tankwa plain, when the sun beams sideways and the unforgiving wind makes larger than life flags possible to fly.

Afrika Burn · Digital · Canon EOS RP, RF 35mm

No crew, no set, no extra equipment. Just me, my camera, and my eye. I work in collaboration with the environment, whether that is a dimly lit room, a desert plain, or a forest hollow.

I focus most often on people: close-up portraits, full-body editorial, experimental and candid. Whether you want to explore a photographic vision of your own or need headshots for a portfolio, we can create some magical shots together.

On Film: Film, scanned and left alone. The color has created itself. Nothing changed from what it wanted to become. Raw images like this are like opening a gift you've been waiting a long time for, you never know what you will get.

Portrait session
Thirty minutes to an hour, wholly focused on the subject. Classic headshots and posing through to experimental and costumed. The vibe is up to you — let's chat.
Performance and events
Drag, dance, live shows, club nights, launches. A discreet, out-of-the-way approach, capturing candid moments in fast-paced environments.
Documentary and festivals
Longer-form work over days or a season. Scoped case by case.

Tell me who is being photographed, roughly when, and where. That is enough to start.
