Welcome.

Music is poetry to melody; Photography is poetry in light. With ink or with lens – the power to transform is remarkable. I transform your day into something memorable. Join me and let me show you how your fleeting, authentic moments can last a lifetime.

Based in Haarlem in the Netherlands, and originally from Cape Town, South Africa, I founded Flash Poets in 2012. With a qualification from Orms Cape Town School of Photography, I now get to do what I love every day, all while sharing this passion with students that I lecture part-time. When I’m not in class I am scouting for your next location, hanging out with my family and son, Benjamin, or making music (yes, Rockstar was my once dream-job).

Flash Poets believe in beauty and the thrill of searching it out in every scene. Destination weddings also excite me as I get to draw out both the beauty of the bride against new and exciting landscapes and enjoy the essence of adventure.

I want you to feel that I’m more than just a guy with a lens, but rather part of your day – blending in effortlessly with your guests and family to capture those unseen moments of authenticity. I keep things light and fun and don’t get flustered. I chase natural light and truth. I may even crack a joke – this is a celebration of course.

My priority is making you feel relaxed and comfortable – to remind you to pause, breathe and drink in the day. I want to capture the myriad of emotions that have brought you to this very point, in photos you’ll be proud to display.
