The Who & Little Feathers in the Cap

Photography is Andrew’s preferred style of “meditation”. Waking up early in the morning, long before sunrise, and being on location at first light with the birds and usually lapping ocean, has an amazingly calming effect. Andrew often retires for the evening just before midnight, having spent hours working on his post-processing of photos, another aspect of photography that soothes his soul and channels his thoughts into a single zone.

His day job is not related to art or photography but both occupations do share some common success generating traits: never give up and keep innovating.

Andrew has travelled to India, Thailand, Croatia, and Brazil, UK, Spain, Germany, Maldives, Turkey and other countries. He is self-taught and greatly inspired by a few UK & USA based photographers.

His favourite playground is the Golden Mile along Durban’s Beachfront and warm Indian Ocean of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
