My love for Turkiye pushed me as a South African to document my travels and allow the rest of the world to see the beauty that I do.
The majority of my work is self-initiated. It is focused in capturing images of places, both in portraiture and in motion. I find the most interesting shoot locations in public areas like oceans, flora, and people of culture.
Being in Sue's "space" allows you to experience all the adventure, creativity, humour and compassion that she brings to everything she say's or does.
She is super talented and meticulous. Quality traits that she uses with gratitude.
All the very best Sue, and I look forward to Phase 1.

Sue - the ultimate eclectic - a creative and artistic personality, her passion for people, travel experiences, and her zest for life is exhilarating. She imbues kindness and thoughtfulness, and her curiosity knows no bounds. A myriad of colours define her very being. Sue is an ebullient character, a most wonderful friend of many.

I've had the privilege of knowing Sue since we were children.
Her quirky unconventional view on the world helps me to see the beauty in the everyday ordinary!

A pop of vibrancy, quirky ideas, a fountain of knowledge, a well travelled explorer with a thirst for colour, people, art, countries, and buildings. Her heart always beating for more & more of her passion for the zest of life & lifestyle.
"That is Sue"

Collaborating with Sue is an exhilarating - and fun - experience.
She crackles with creative energy, and whilst she has an eye for detail, that "eye" is almost always coming from an unique or unexpected angle.
She's fearless, contagious in her passion for her vision, and completely original. I'm definitely a fan.

My discussions with sue about Türkiye, over the years, have always been inspirational. We have had many exciting adventures together, but Sue and Tex's exploration of Turkiye, has become a lifelong journey, that we can now share, in the pages of her wonderful book. The photographs draw us into a very personal insight, of colour and vibrancy, of an ancient land.
