Rituals
The current wave of following habits of the rich and successful has always interested me. It’s become an obsession for many to adopt their idols exact routines and behaviours; by following a detailed checklist of rituals throughout the day. The series “Rituals” takes a tongue-in-cheek approach of this concept by exploring morning breakfast rituals.

Fromage
A couple of months ago I visited the most wonderful cheese shop in Linden for a magazine feature. Cheese Gourmet is hands-down the place to go to if you are looking for local, hand-made cheeses along with other artisanal goods. They work closely with local farmers and cheese-makers to source amazing quality cheeses, perfect for your next dinner party.

Light always forces me to stop and observe a scene. I don’t think I will ever get tired of the way light dances through objects. Who knew refraction could be so sexy!
I captured these images at A Streetbar Named Desire in Parkwood, Johannesburg. Go check them out, the light there is great (their cocktails ain’t bad either).

A few months ago I spent some time hanging out with the talented guys from Mootee Bar in Melville.
They recently got named as one of 2018's top 10 best new cocktail bars in the world by Spirit Awards.
If that’s not reason enough for a visit, why not pop in and try their Peanut Butter & Jam cocktail.
