Chenene & Nadine | Friendship

Chenene & Nadine had a shoot with me last year and decided that it was time again for some new fun photos. These two have been friends for years, and after losing touch for a few years reconnected and have been growing closer ever since.

Melissa (featuring Misha) | Portraits

Melissa contacted me a few months ago about doing some portraits. In her email she wrote:

“I’m a soprano studying Performing Art at UP, as you know and I hope to one day be the next Anna Netrebko or Callas. I only wear black and I’m obsessed with black and white photography, vintage-anything, French, Piaf, jazz and pearls.”

I did most of their photos in black and white and felt it worked better that way anyway.
Joining her for the shoot was her pianist (and friend), Misha.

M & M 01  M & M 02    M & M 03  M & M 04  These ladies are so incredibly beautiful that it made photographing them a breeze

M & M 05  M & M 06

The main reason Melissa wanted me to take photos for her was to use them for posters for her end of year recital. If you’d be interested in going to hear her sing, the details are as follows:

Date: Friday, 16 Nov 2012
Time: 19h30
Venue: Musaion, University of Pretoria, Hatfield Campus
Dress: Semi-formal

Melissa also bakes killer cupcakes!

Ronald & Bronwyn | Matric Dance

At the end of October I had the privilege of shooting Ronald’s matric dance at their beautiful house. Ronald’s mom really has a knack for buying old stuff/stuff that people would call junk and turning them into something beautiful. You can check out her blog here

I was told that Ronald was nervous and not really a fan of smiling in photos – I’d say that by looking at these you’d never know :)

At this point I said to Ronald that he looked incredibly in love – he turned and smiled and said “I am”

Thank you wind!
