I completed my photography course at Jonathan Andrews Studio and qualified with a distinction. I found my passion for photography when I was about 10 years old but only chose to pursue it professionally when I turned 15. Over the years I have been very fortunate in terms of the photographic opportunities and jobs that I have completed. One of my favourite photoshoots that I did was a shoot with Miss South Africa in 2016. Some of the other achievements I am proud of is being hired by Major League Baseball to photograph one of their international camps in South Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 35%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/courtography.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/51924578_840937232926894_3375882571404541952_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courtography.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/51924578_840937232926894_3375882571404541952_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/courtography.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/51924578_840937232926894_3375882571404541952_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courtography.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/51924578_840937232926894_3375882571404541952_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/courtography.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/51924578_840937232926894_3375882571404541952_n-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">I became a photographer to share my creativity with the world and help others capture their precious memories and moments along the way.
