I was recently commissioned to take architectural photos of some property for Lightbodys. Lightbodys is a property company that buys and renovates derelict properties in Pietermaritzburg. Once complete they manage very affordable, quality inner-city accommodation in those properties. The alternative is shocking. I have added photos of slum type houses so that you can see …
I had the opportunity to do a portfolio portrait shoot with KD, an up and coming Hip-Hop Artist from Pietermaritzburg. Thanks Collinz Zulu (Ooh Snap Studios) for the referral.
So I decided to go for a slightly grungy look since some of these may be used for album covers and other publications. Anyway, it’s something I don’t often get the opportunity to do. Let me know what you think of the results.
“You should never break the rules in photography!” – The technically correct photographers Some of the best pictures I have seen completely shatter all the rules that some photographers hold so dear. Needless to say, I like to break the rules from time to time. I don’t really view them as rules but rather guidelines. …
I was honoured to be asked to be the official wedding photographer at the wedding of Bryce and Megan Todd that was held on 17 January 2015. What a brilliant wedding! The whole wedding was held at Makiti Wedding Venue near the Cradle of Humankind and it was nicely organised and the facilities were great. …
I don’t rate myself as an architectural photographer but last weekend I had the pleasure of staying at, what may be, the most luxurious accommodation I have ever stayed at. Eagle Nest is an amazing place. It’s like a luxury hotel but with a few major differences. They also offer full-time accommodation in bachelor suites …

Following on the the previous CPS article , I have finished the video of their baling machine. This was a pretty nice project that included photography, videography, video editing and photoshop (lots of photoshop). It is always a pleasure working with Neil at CPS and I look forward to a couple more like this. The Completed CPS Baling …
I got a phone call from Collinz Zulu from Ooh Snap Studios. He normally does night club photography. He requested that I do some studio work for a young model named Adelaide Nyoni.
Adelaide was a little uncomfortable in the beginning but we soon got past that and ended up having quite a fun shoot. Adelaide, It was a pleasure working with you.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks since I moved into my new studio and I am glad I finally have time to post a couple of articles. During last week I got a call from Neil Etheridge at CPS to come out and do a video shoot of a new baling machine that they …

Hennie’s specialities include art knives and folders with occasional hunters and skinners. He does his own designs but also makes Hunters, …
