Hi! i’m Rene
and this is how my journey began…
I started photography very late in life. My childhood was dominated by dancing and that was going to be my future course. I even attended the prestigious Art Ballet Drama & Music School in Johannesburg. However, on leaving school I chose to study law. Seven years later I became a mom. After working in the legal profession for 3 years I became a stay at home mom. It was during this time that I pursued my creative side with art. Over the next 20 years I dabbled in many mediums, like acrylic, oils, watercolours, pastels and digital art.
However, one of my passions has always been photography. So in 2018 I acquired my very first DSLR camera… and I was hooked! Love photographing flowers (clearly lol) and some unusual subjects along the way, focusing especially on light and perspective.
My path has lead me here and I would like to share this passion with you…

let’s dive right in …
here is a tantilizing taste of what I love to photograph
One of the techniques I adopt in my photography is the use of natural sunlight, both sunrise and sunset and the shadows of course.
flowers

photograph
“Photograph…a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.”

plants
“Plants have enough spirit to transform our limited vision.”

nature
“Actually, it’s nature itself that creates the most beautiful pictures, I’m only chosing the perspective.”
By Katja Michael
textures
“I search for the realness, all the feeling of a subject, all the texture around it… I always want to see the third dimension of something… I want to come alive with the object.”

black&white
