Belmont Portrait Studio

I am lucky enough to live in New Zealand's North Shore. I moved over from South Africa and set up studio not to long ago. With me I have my beautiful wife and 3 kids, who always seems to keep me busy, somehow, I still find time to pick up a camera and spend time doing what I love most, taking photographs.
I studied photography, when everything was still being shot on film, and I have seen so much change in in the past 15 years. I love photography, for me there is nothing quite as magical as capturing fleeting moments in life.
Whether shooting weddings or portraits there is a level of responsibility that falls onto our shoulders. Cherished memories are constantly passing in front of our lens, and we have to ensure that we capture it, bear testimony in a sense, and save it for prosperity while ensuring that it portrays the day accurately. From the tiniest detail to the elaborate shots, we are always looking for ways to advance our performance, to exceed our best, I strive for photography that just feels right. This is what drives me.
