Recent Adventures

With every outward venture, there’s an inward journey. It’s almost Keatsian, how I find comfort in not knowing exactly where I’m headed—physically and metaphysically; a peculiar relationship between curiosity and negative capa

How does one describe the Wild Coast?

Amber-turfed hills etched with arteries flowing from the country’s heartland. Tributaries spilling into wide estuarine bays inhabited only by cows. A rewarding destination for those willing to endure hours

The crippling pressure
of the color of my skin;
exoticized, fetishized, othered —
unraveling from within.

Historically, many wrecks are mass graves - sites where countless Black bodies perished as slaves shackled to the sinking ships.

Ridiculously excited to be back in South Africa in a few weeks…curious to see what memories the future holds ✨

Sharing the water with a blue whale reminded me of words from one of my favorite books. In “A Field Guide to Getting Lost,” Rebecca Solnit paints an image of a blue world, juxtaposing the blue of distances in landscapes with the blue of l

In the big blue with a big blue 💙

This is a true blue whale — not the smaller pygmy blues you get in Sri Lanka. It passed close by to check us out, heading towards our boat before disappearing into the deep. That’s the beauty of pelagic

Swam with a blue whale. Life complete.

Currently on the annual #marlinrun expedition with @nomad_diving. More soon — once I’ve had a chance to catch my breath and process the feelings (and photos) 🥲

One of the few types of shopping I enjoy — plus, it’s free! Stay tuned for an upcoming foraging + freediving photography workshop with myself and Roushanna @veldandsea 🌱🦪✨

Perpetually searching for pelagics… Spending the next week out at sea with @nomad_diving on our annual #marlinrun expedition in Baja, Mexico. Apologies in advance for any delays in response :)

Alice in Wonderland, but make it underwater.

Casual hangs in kelp 🌿

Endless exploration in the Antipolis wreck with @zandithemermaid 💕

How does one describe South Africa?

I’m not sure, but I’ve spent the past 3 years trying to put it all into words.

Until next time, RSA.

Part 2 of our freediving lingerie shoot with @nette_rose! We were absolutely floored by the response to our first series of images, so here are some more…which one is your favorite? 🥰

Frosty summer dives in the Atlantic 🥶

Never thought I’d shoot models in lingerie, but when the stars align to create something completely new with spectacular humans…well, this is the result.

Life’s beauty lies in the unwritten now…or in South Africa, the “now now.”

Salty, dorky happiness captured by @avio_images

The first time I dived in a kelp forest, I was terrified — what unknown creatures lay in these murky underwater woods?

Years later, I feel at peace here. The kelp is a safety net from surge, swell, and larger animals; a calm home amidst the c

@zandithemermaid and I have a pretty cool dive planned…just hoping conditions clear up this week! 🥺🤞🏼 Extra underwater points to anyone who can guess what we’ll be shooting… 👀

“Visit Cape Town and history is never far from your grasp. It lingers in the air, a scent on the breeze, an explanation of circumstance that shaped the Rainbow People. Stroll around the old downtown and it's impossible not to be affected by the

Antipolis photo dump from a crystal clear day in the Atlantic 💎 This wreck has got to be one of my new favorites. Open to any recommendations for freedive/scuba spots!
