Being part of something this great has brought together my love for many things, being it Photography, Wildlife and helping the less fortunate through my work. This is an organisation that changes the lives of people who have far less that we do and the way I'm giving back is to sell my work on a global scale and help them through the photos i take. I am humbled by this selection to be associated with such an amazing initiative and i know that after all it is for a better cause. This is possibly the biggest step I've take after picking up my first camera 7 year ago and i have not looked back since, and after my artistic wildlife images were spotted the opportunity has presented itself. This opportunity and this organisation can only go from strength to strength. Watch this space... it will definitely be a life changer for many! Show less

With Holst Media being a Design, Photography and Print studio, I worked as a Junior Graphic designer, photographer and web designer. I worked many a project, with clients on briefs and had the role of making things happen. I was later involved with the making and construction of the mobile photo-booth and also organising and shooting studio photo-shoots. After about a year of work, I decided to focus on the freelance work and building a name for my company.

I interned at Portal Print, a local design and print house, as a junior graphic designer as part of an Intern Programme offered by Damelin College, my place of study at the time. I was involved with how the company ran and how to use large format printers. Dealing with customers was a day to day task, wether it was via email or face to face communication. Although my stay at the establishment was short, i do admit that it prepared me for the real industry.
