Denim Pirates

Peyton as the Denim Pirate, in a shoot inspired by my favourite fashion spreads in The Face magazine in the 80’s : the Buffalo look (but make it denim). And a bit of Dune inspiration thrown in, as the landscape and the heat of the day gave rise to comparisons. Oh yes, and the goggles.

Solo in Drum Magazine tribute

Working with one of my favourite models on a tribute to Drum Magazine and inspired by the stories of Can Themba (described as “the supreme intellectual tsotsi of them all” by writer, lewis Nkosi. Sometimes the location gives rise to the idea, as it did in this case, when I came across this wonderful kitchen.

Abantu In Africa

Ababtu in Africa’s new cashmere blankets were the impetus for this shoot, nicknamed The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. It’s the voyage of the lonesome but stylish African cowboy.

Abantu

The work of designer Thandazani Nofingxana, from the Eastern Cape area of South Africa. I am drawn to Thandazani’s attention to detail and his eye for something that is just the right amount of unusual.

Zanzibar Street Style

A holiday for me includes getting out on the street and photographing those whose style I find interesting and whose looks I might not find at home. These were taken in the city of Stone Town on the East African island of Zanzibar during Eid in 2023.

Bandile

A personal project I did with one of my favourite models, Bandile, based on a portrait I encountered in the National Portrait Gallery in London of the architect Sir Christopher Wren, painted by Godfrey Kneller in 1711.

Le Sape

Le Sape are the Sapeurs of Brazzaville Congo : the dedicated dandies who in a bit of colonial role reversal, adopted the sartorial elegance of their European colonialists. Le Sape also have an ethos of good manners and serving as an inspiration to others. I photographed Gerald and Michael from Brazzaville in Cape Town.
