Portrait Gallery

A great portrait is always more than a great likeness.  People are multidimensional and are known and recognized because of characteristics in all of these dimensions.  The voice, smile, glance, posture, gesture all make up who we know.  I endeavour to capture specific characteristics of my subject.  I hope that I have captured more than a good two-dimensional likeness of these friends, colleagues and strangers which you can see or feel too! Having spent 26 years in the South African Navy, there is a preponderance of portraits of Naval Officers.
