I’ve been friends with Tobie since around 1988 when we were both living in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Tobie was an amazing BMX racer and I was the kind of skateboarder who loved to throw themselves off and over stuff. Tobie recently met up with up with some OG legends in the South African BMX scene for a day of fun…

I’ve never been one to enter photographic contests but decided to have a go recently and was pleasantly surprised by a silver award from the WPE for Wedding Photojournalism. This is for my image ‘Two Grandmothers’ which I’ve featured on this site before. I noticed that they were sitting in a quiet area and wanted to document how this scene…

This was a wedding after my own heart. A deep love led to this sincere day. You’ll see it in their smiles, hear it in their laughter, feel the joy though their guests expressions. Eyram’s words say it best: ‘MY Tim, thank you so much for capturing the moments we missed and the things we did. Viv and I can’t…
Huawei Joburg Day in the Park ticked all the boxes for an unforgettable family day out. The sun was out, the grass was green, and there was lots of space for Joburg’s youngest – and oldest – movers and shakers to play. PLUS an entire day of live music from some of SA’s biggest multi-generational artists. Here’s what I saw…

For the very first time ever, 3 legends performed together on one stage. The power packed concert featured playback singers Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu. Here are some my favourite images from the night also featuring Suraj Jewan, Khajal Ali, and Abdula Raheem. The event, held at Time Square in Pretoria featured some tricky lighting at points which kept me on my…
I love big fat reflective sunglasses. Especially when worn in situations that allow me to get a little more of the story told in an image. Here a couple of wedding guests were sharing a laugh. I was more focused on their expressions and realised just in time that there was the possibility of getting her reflection in the shot….
Burnout is the total tragedy of an overwhelming, distressing and depressing range of draining emotions that leave you feeling powerless. I believe it comes in different levels ranging from a stubbed toe to a broken leg or worse, a broken spirit. I say this as I in no way want to make light of burnout. I experienced it once in…
They don’t get much better than this! Sara and William’s day was everything and more that I feel a wedding should be. We had the love, that’s obvious, emotion, check, and then Sara, possibly the most excited bride ever! There were real tears… Real. Tears. It was beautiful, unguarded and sincere and I throughly enjoyed myself being invited in amongst…

We got to talking and when the subject of her wedding came up I showed her my website and spoke about my unique, documentary approach to telling the story of a couples wedding day. We stayed in touch and…
