Meet The Eye
A collection of photographic projects that explore everyday life, movement, and the spaces people inhabit. Each body of work is an invitation to look closer — to see the stories, tensions, and quiet moments that often pass unnoticed. Through observation and empathy, these projects document fragments of life as they unfold.
Ashes At First Light
Ashes at First Light documents the aftermath of a fire that tore through shacks along Von Wielligh Street near the Faraday Taxi Rank in Johannesburg CBD on the morning of 11 February 2026. Made in the quiet hours of dawn while the flames were extinguished, these photographs bear witness to loss, resilience, and the fragile architecture of survival in the inner city.
Though homes were reduced to ash, no lives were lost, a small mercy against a sky still heavy with smoke.
Between Departures
A photographic meditation on the unnoticed lives that unfold
in transit zones across Tanzania bus stops, roadside stalls, and checkpoint towns. Through quiet frames and soft shadows, Between Departures documents the people who wait, sell, watch, and rest in the liminal spaces between movement.
These are not destinations, but moments suspended where labor, routine, and resilience intersect. The series invites viewers to witness the poetics of pause, the economies of hustle, and
the dignity found in the margins of motion.

Dunusa:
Stories in a thread
Dunusa is a visual exploration of the second-hand clothing economy in Johannesburg where garments, stories, and survival intertwine. Through a series of honest and intimate photographs, this project documents the daily hustle of traders ,many of them foreign African nationals, who find dignity, resilience, and livelihood in the resale of discarded clothes.
Shot with a documentary eye and a deep respect for the people behind the stalls, Dunusa captures more than just a market
it reveals a layered economy built on migration, community, and the quiet brilliance of making something out of what’s been
left behind.
