Ado du Toit
Hi! I am Ado du Toit. I am a "very amateur photographer”. I am constantly learning about how to capture and edit precious images by being part of groups like this ..My Moto…look, read up and learn. I do not have any fancy equipment.. But...what I do have by the heaps, is a passion for life, light and the story that images in the world give us in even the most ordinary of scenes like farm life, illness, mountains and people.I am acutely aware of how short and precious life is, and feel a thrill, a humble awe in the capturing of a split second in the story called life.

Alan Mason
Alex Cummings
As an advanced hobbyist, Alan Mason's photographic career started in January 2006 when he bought his first digital prosumer camera and started to learn how to play. Next stop was to do a camera course with the College of Digital Photography, after which he joined the Johannesburg Photographic Society Camera Club and thereafter Camera Club of Johannesburg.
His photography took an exponential upward turn, when in 2013, on the Google+ social media platform, he completed 'a-photo-a-day for 365 days' and subsequent to this he participated in numerous G+ mentorships both as a pupil and as a mentor.
Alan has a particular interest in Blur and Unsharp photography but, generally speaking he is an all-rounder who likes chasing the light in order to achieve great images.
Blairgowrie, Randburg [email protected]
Photographer/ExhibitorAlex started his career in Scotland as a teenager. He also trained in Design and Fine Art. He started off with a small B&W darkroom but in 1979 he built what was to become an almost professional colour darkroom.Doing well in club and salon scenes until illness forced him to cease, he prophesied the coming of the digital age and was laughed at for saying that it would take over from film. For several years he was out of the photographic scene but now specialises in composite work and the occasional straight image.

Al Smuts
I am Al of Triton Photography. My interest is underwater glamour photography. I started about 30 years ago with photography as a hobby and really liked the human form in water and underwater. Back then images and ideas were hard to find, so I have always made my own props/costumes and scenes for my photography - from mermaids to pirates. My inspiration is Howard Schatz, where he photographed ballet dancers underwater.

Alet Visagie
I'm a nature lover and spend all of my free time in nature. Then eight years ago I joined a photography club and since then I'm hooked on my new passion. Nature photography is my preferred genre, from wildlife to macro. For the last 2 years I've been inspired by Hein and all our photography friends who post their photos on the VSS Facebook page. Since then I have been trying/struggling to also do the creative thing and will hopefully succeed one of these years.

Alireza Naseri
Alireza lives in Lives in Tehran, Iran, and studied photography at a local collage. His work is closely related to most of the Photo-Journalism genres with great emphasis on travel and street photography. Alireza’s work introduce many interesting parts of the world to us, especially painting a picturesque view of Iran that is seldom seen by the rest of the world.

Alison Duncan
Ankie Coetzer
Hobby photographer, Alison enjoys the challenge and satisfaction of doing composites and seeing the world through a lens. She considered herself a bit of a workshop junkie until she found that she was comparing her work to others and decided that comparing is not good for her morale. She realised that she can appreciate and enjoy other photographers work and feel zero competition and knowing what goes into the works of art makes her appreciate their work all the more. The fun she's had learning, plus all the learning still to come makes her photography journey completely worth it.
On a family tour through Europe, amateur photographer Ankie Coetzer realised that she has ‘an eye’ for composition. This fuelled a passion for photography that just keeps growing.Born with a deep love for animals of all kinds, wildlife photography is her first love, followed closely by capturing all sorts of scenes when travelling. She continually strives for more knowledge and mastering interesting manipulation techniques, through reading tutorials and trying to recreate effects that she notices in other photographers' works. Currently she is experimenting with creating more abstract and minimalist works.

Andrew Harvard
Annaline Werth
Andrew's photography, hobby not career currently Canon, at first light: birds flying, fish jumping, ocean lapping has an amazingly calming effect, heals the soul and warms the heart.Mostly self-taught since 2012, he loves Robin Sharma's wisdom, Jimmy Macintyre's mentorship and spending hours processing. This, like shooting, is calming and a meditation.Andrew finds God in glorious sunrises, splendid sunsets and the Milky Way, and his own drive with inspiration from other photographers are vitally important.Special highlights: featured PSSA Image magazine Feb 2016 – first time anyone enjoyed double spread, supplied bulk Divine Life Society of SA 2019 calendar images.
I realized my passion for arts when I joined the F-stop Photo club in 2015. I had an amazing tutor that encouraged me and gave me advice when I needed it. (Hennie Karsten) it was during this time that i started experimenting with different styles. I always try to learn as much as possible from the amazing professional photographers around me. As a photographer I try to be as versatile as possible. but I favour portraiture, landscapes, and monochrome. I only recently started with landscapes, and I love it so much, the only obstacle is to find the right place at the right time.

The enjoyment of going out to photograph and to be able to share that with my friends and fellow photgraphers is my favorite part of this hobby. I love sharing ideas with other photographers and friends that love photography just as much as I do. I believe in the value of learning from each other. I enjoy trying new things, and as im not a person for a lot of words, doing my thing is awesomeness.

Anton la Grange
Anton la Grange is a photographer and photo educator based in the northern suburbs of Pretoria, specializing in nature, travel, photojournalism and street photograph. Throughout his work, one can see that he combines his love of the natural world with his fascination of the world's diverse cultures. Each of his photographs tells a story of life on this planet. I believe the most important quality of a photograph, as in all of art, is to evoke an emotional response. While everything in nature does this for me, selecting just the right places and moments to take a photograph that conveys those emotions is far more difficult. Anton became a photographer back in 2009 and hold the following awards: APSSA Digital Colour (Jan 2011), APSSA Monochrome Open (Jan 2014), APSSA Monochrome Photojournalism – Photo Travel – A day in the Ovahimba Kraal (Jan 2016), APSSA (Vers) (Jan 2016) and AFIAP (2013).

Arlene Colby Mullins
Arlene started her journey into creativity through crafting before she plunged into the world of digital photography. This medium has enabled her to express her unique view of the world.
Arlene favours still life, nature and portrait photography, exploring the possibilities of digital editing to achieve her signature style. Soft focus, flowing lines and pastel colours are common themes in her work through which she strives to tell stories. She believes that the simplest of stories – that of a single rose or a dusty football game – often have the most impact.

Basil Gordon
I worked for BMG music then SONY-BMG and finally SONY MUSIC International for 16 years ending in 2010. In that time I was always handed the camera at music events to take pictures of superstars, and really had no idea of what I was doing but the photography bug bit me. When I left the industry I studied photography and did some freelance work for about a year. I got a full time position at a hotography studio and school doing all the all the in house shoots and events, I also did Photoshop editing and teaching; photography, cinematography and graphic design. In 2016 I worked as an in-house photographer for a chines company. I am now a self employed photographer.
I am deeply committed in finding the absolute magic in all subjects be they ugly or beautiful. Lighting is a true art form appreciated over thousands of hours behind the lens.I would like to thank Melisa-Jane, Shane and family helping me keep my photography dream alive.
Annie Kruyer
In her distinctive visual language that is sometimes 'almost nothing' light, sometimes 'deep' dark, Annie is a fine artist that has found, framing imagery in natural light, a way to explore dualities and the balance of opposites, the sensory tension of living in the fragile present moment, while accepting the transience of our natural world,
inviting you into defining moments of spiritual longing and quiet contemplation. Besides using the camera as a tool for self expression, she creates fine art images that sell internationally from her online gallery, and accepts commissions to photograph life as art, specializing in woman.

Barbara Dannenhauer
I was born and raised in Germany and have been living in South Africa for the past 20 years.I always wanted to share my love for nature, wildlife and the South African people in a different way and inspire people to have a deeper, closer look into society.I got my first Camera 2014 and i haven't put it down since. As a hobby artist this was a new and creative way to show what i see - through my Lens, to discover abstract expressions of the beauty in the natural world.
And -
I see beauty in everything!

Bernyce Hollingworth
My interest in photography started in 1978 when I worked as a darkroom technician for the then dept. Of information in Pretoria. I loved playing around in the darkroom manipulating the images a little (which got me into trouble more often than not).Have no idea why they didn't like images of then ministers manipulated and printed to hang in our offices.???When i left the department I worked for a few photographers as their assistant but lost interest somewhere along the line when my camera and slides were all stolen.
I now am a passionate amateur photographer that loves photographing the little things living around us, i.e. Macro photography. I also love playing around inside Photoshop and manipulating and compositing images I have taken to a bit of fine art or abstract images. What I love most about photography is that it allows me to view and see the small things around me and appreciate the world we live in.

I am an Artist, designer, programmer and photographer, with a soon to be international Diploma & advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and Visual Communication as well as photography and application development. I am a fast learner and always perform above expectations, I work well under pressure and I am a team player giving input where I can and taking any amount of criticism. My personality is that of an extrovert, people get along with me really well, one of my many self-rules are to make people feel welcome around me. I always strive to be honest, trustworthy, hardworking, respectable, passionate, committed and fair in any thing that I do, be it my work or social life. The kind of things I enjoy doing in my free time is anything from watching a movie to doing designs out of the mere boredom. I am very passionate about music. My love for Design drives my ambitions in life, I often watch a movie or listen to a good song or pick up my camera and take a few photos in the garden to get design inspiration.

Born in Ladysmith KZN Bessie realised at an early age that she enjoyed art.
Before attending school, she was drawing in sand, on paper and experimenting with everything she could lay her hands on. The sap of mulberries, the texture of sand pasted on glue and the patterns of the chickens feathers interested her.Art workshops and courses followed but she found her true interest in photography. Starting out with the basics, she soon began experimenting with photography as an art form. She enjoys the versatility and ability to use photography to tell stories and create images

Charlaine Gerber
Charlaine Gerber My horse and I
Charlaine has had a love for photography for many years, but only started doing photography the last 5 years but more recently a particular interest in art photography to create unique photos. She had a creative vision to not merely capture a realistic rendition or mere representation of the subject, but aim to produce a more personal, maybe evocative or atmospheric impression with her photos that might go beyond realism and often take photos to use in composites to create an work of art or symbolism which can be interpreted in different ways.Since Charlaine took up photography in 2013 she has been widely published and has received numerous accolades both nationally and internationally. She received her LPSSA in June 2016 and her APSSA in June 2017. To date Charlaine holds more than 70 National and international medals and won numerous competitions, including the photo of the year on the prestigious international curators site 1x.com, and she's had three solo exhibitions. Charlaine's range of topics stretch from landscape, nature, macro and art photography. Widely recognised for her innovation, Charlaine works mostly in composite photography with an emphasis on narrative, giving a different perspective to scenes.

Charlaine Gerber The first time I saw her
Charlaine Gerber Be a fairy to escape reality
Charlaine Gerber she was a wildflower
Charlaine Gerber So you’ll find loss and you’ll fear what you found
Charlaine Gerber with a word she can get what she came for
Charlaine Gerber But there’s a secret
garden she hides
Charlaine Gerber In the light of hidden flowers
Charlaine Gerber She was the soft naked lady
love meant her to be
Charlaine Gerber With a glass inlaid with gemstones,
wait for hero be
Charlaine Gerber You said you could never love me I undid your gown
Charlaine Gerber I will never come through this alone
Charlaine Gerber I've been living in the shadows of despair
Charlaine Gerber She played by the spell of the moon
Charlaine Gerber she was a magical mystical woman
Charlaine Gerber Now you're nothing but an enigma
Charlaine Gerber You know who I am
Charlaine GerberI will be your loyal companion
Charlaine Gerber In our rags of light all dressed to kill
Charlaine Gerber Swans on the lake Charlaine Gerber so eager was my passion
Charlaine Gerber Our food for the day
Charlaine Gerber Confusionn
Charlaine Gerber Passionate dance Charlaine Gerber The passion in the dance
Charlaine Gerber Birds of Prey Rehabilitation
