Melkbosstrand, Cape Town · Est. 2013

One dog
changed
everything.

Actually — one gangsta cat named Calvin started it all.

From being on the floor covered in dog hair to boardrooms for Tame pretending I knew what I was doing — this is the life that dogs built. And I wouldn’t change a single muddy paw print of it.

Memories that
outlast the years

On the floor, covered in dog hair, capturing dogs in all their pure unrehearsed beauty. After over a decade behind the lens, I am dusting off my camera and coming back to what I love most.
