Biography
Challenges and adventure drive me; there is a void without them. As a youth, this void was filled with mischief that evolved into a comprehensive military career. The military filled that void and gave me structure, education, and most importantly, an ethos, a sense of purpose.
|
This profound sense of purpose made me take on other challenges that I have interests in, like art, particularly film and photography. After many years of tinkering with various forms of media creation, I focused on street photography.
Street photography appeals to me because it is the real world. There are no studios, assistants, models or reshoots. Walking the streets, looking, observing, anticipating; very much like a military patrol and sometimes just as unfriendly. Often, you come home with nothing of value, but the value lies in the struggle, "the hunt."

Troy & Thandi - The Malamute

I think that the world is very good at making itself look important. We tend to overdramatise the insignificant and undervalue the real. When I see the world and capture it with my camera, I try to show her scars, secrets and endless beauty.
