About me

My story

Originally from London UK, I live and work in Cape Town, South Africa, surrounded by mountains, forests, beaches … a real paradise. Where else can you be in the wilderness a few minutes from the city?

My photographic interests include nature, people, concerts, architecture and close-ups as you can see from this selection of my work in both colour and monochrome.

I use Nikon gear – currently Nikon D7200 with 18-140mm f3.5-5.6, 40mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor, 10-20mm f3.5 Sigma wide angle zoom.

I started my photographic journey with an Olympus OM system back in the ’70s, shooting slides and black & white film and cutting my teeth with my own darkroom. 

I finally took the plunge into digital in 2005 with Panasonic FZ cameras.

I’ve included a broad range of photos taken in my lifetime here on this site.

I also run a web design & development business – check out my website: DGW web design

You’ll see a few of my photos there as well.
