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


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

If this resonates, you are welcome to explore the full experience
