Then & Now

Then & Now portraits in Johannesburg

A portrait of what time has carried


There was a time
when they fit in your arms.

Now they stand beside you.

And somewhere between those two moments,
a life unfolded.


This work is not about childhood
and it is not about adulthood

It is about what remains


These portraits are created slowly
in a quiet, guided studio environment

Nothing is performed
Nothing is rushed

Only what is real is allowed to surface

A relationship across time

Some clients arrive with an earlier photograph

Others arrive only with the present moment

Both are enough

The result is a portrait that holds both where you began and where you are now.


This work holds the space between those two points

Not to recreate
but to recognise

What you will see here:
mothers and sons,
mothers and daughters,
at different stages of life.


Not posed in the traditional sense.
But connected.

Begin your portrait conversation.
