The story thus far:

I started shooting pics as a hobby in the mid eighties, at Kyalami and Zwartkops, while studying architectural technology at Wits Technikon. I first published pics of the Speedway Internationals at Corobrik in the late eighties in Bike SA.

After becoming a member of the SAGMJ in 1990, I slowly made inroads with work covering national championship racing, notably in Wiel Magazine, and in 1994 went into

motorsport photography full time with various clients, on a freelance basis. I won the SAGMJ motor sport photographer of the year award in 96 and 98.

I've been a long time fan of F1 photographers Bernard Asset, Pascal Rondeau, Paul Henry Cahier, Keith Sutton, Martin Elford, Rainer Schlegelmilch, Steven Tee, Charles Coates and Darren Heath, amongst others and in motor cycle racing, Paul Borsham, Patrick Gosling and David Goldman. Their work is a never ending source of inspiration. We are fortunate to bear witness to such artistry.
