"An interior is the natural projection of the soul"

- Coco Chanel -

Interior design serves as a remarkable avenue for expressing our personalities through textures, colors, styles, patterns, ambiance, and objects. It has been one of my passions for as long as I can remember. I have a penchant for crafting interiors from scratch, often lending my expertise to friends and family when they lack inspiration. This passion blossomed during my time in Paris, where I would dedicate my free moments to bringing spaces to life.

The image you see at the top of your screen is a photograph I captured of my home nestled in the South African bush, a place I affectionately refer to as my Little Eden in Africa.

I personally designed and curated every aspect of the house and its interior, a process I found immensely fulfilling. While I may not have formal training as an interior architect or designer, I am deeply passionate about exploring and collecting antiques and objects that, at first glance, may seem unrelated but ultimately find harmony within my vision and heart. Bringing these elements together to create a cohesive space is a profoundly creative and gratifying experience.

Photographing interiors poses its own set of challenges. It requires skill in conveying the emotions evoked by the objects, ambiance, light, and textures through the lens of a camera, ensuring that viewers can sense these emotions as they peruse the photos. It's all about capturing the nuances of details, angles, and lighting to weave a compelling narrative from a room, a tent, or a beautifully arranged sundowner setup.My objective as an interior photographer is to transport you into the same emotional realm I experienced within these spaces. Whether you're considering booking a place, lodge, restaurant, or house, my aim is to convey the essence and atmosphere of the location authentically.

This is the essence of what I do as an interior photographer.

Out in Africa

Known for my signature 'Out of Africa' and Bohemian style, I bring a distinct flair to my photo shoots in the bush. Elevating your safari photo shoot to new heights, I can craft the perfect Out of Africa decor amidst the wilderness, regardless of the private reserve you've chosen or the lodge you're staying at. This is a service I already provide to my own guests who travel with me through my travel agency, INTO MY WILD AFRICA.

Picture this decor alongside an old vintage Landy, with you as the stars of the show. If you're intrigued and want to learn more, let's discuss further here, and I'll showcase the myriad possibilities through images.
