Hello, and welcome to my corner of the internet! I wear many hats: I’m an academic researcher, a documentary photographer, a video producer, and an avid explorer of the world’s rich tapestry of cultures. For years, I’ve been captivated by the art of storytelling, both visual and written, and how it bridges the gaps between people and places. This website is my way of inviting you into that world—a space where creativity and research come together to celebrate humanity’s shared experiences.

My Journey So Far

Since 2015, I’ve been privileged to immerse myself in the lives and traditions of the Khomani San Bushmen in the Kalahari. What began as a research project turned into a five-year ethnographic journey that transformed my understanding of community, heritage, and resilience. This experience deepened my passion for preserving stories that might otherwise go untold.

I’ve also worked on food sustainability initiatives, building a greenhouse, and experimenting with vertical farming techniques. These projects reflect my belief in sustainable living and innovation as tools for a better future.

Beyond Research: Visual Storytelling

Photography and videography are my creative outlets and professional tools. Whether it’s capturing the raw beauty of a remote landscape or the emotion in someone’s eyes, I aim to tell authentic stories that resonate. My darkroom prints, crafted with care, are a tangible extension of this passion and are available for exhibitions or collectors.

What You’ll Find Here

This space is more than a portfolio—it’s a place for connection and exploration. Here’s a taste of what you can expect:

  • Stories from the Field: Reflections on my research and travels.
  • Visual Journeys: Galleries of my photography and videography.
  • Cultural Insights: Dive into the traditions and practices I’ve encountered around the world.
  • Creative Projects: Updates on my books, podcasts, and exhibitions.

Whether you’re a fellow explorer, a creative spirit, or just someone curious about the world, I hope this space inspires you to see life through a new lens.

I believe the world is a richer place when we share our stories. I hope this space inspires you to embark on your own adventures, whether they’re in your backyard or on the other side of the globe. Let’s connect, share ideas, and celebrate the beauty of life’s journey—one story at a time.
