Brush Strokes
As a minimalist and aspiring digital artist, I fell in love with the emotion that could be conveyed through the simple and abstract compositions that can be achieved from the air. This is probably one of the reasons I’m drawn to seascapes and beaches – the movement of the ocean and its patterns and textures are mesmerising for me. For me, creating art through my photography is more than just the act of clicking a button or the number of likes my image might receive (there are way too many amazing photographers out there to be focused on that). It’s about the process of getting out into nature, often on an early morning when the air is crisp and quiet. It’s seeing the sky change colours and hearing the waves against the rocks while waiting for that perfect moment.

Long exposure image of the Antipolis shipwreck in Cape Town, South Africaabout the photographer
I started out with drone photography back in 2017, although I had no intention to get too serious about the photography aspect as I initially just liked drone technology. But, once I got my drone into the sky for the first time, I noticed the unique images that a person can capture. I guess I’m a creator at heart and naturally started gravitating towards the creative/artistic side of drone photography, which has seen my images change a lot stylistically over the years.As a minimalist and aspiring digital artist, I fell in love with the emotion that could be conveyed through the simple and abstract compositions that can be achieved from the air.
