It would really be great to photograph a TEDxCapeTown event. I have followed TED's presentations when I first heard of the idea, and never looked back. To me it was, and is a great way to learn, to get inspired and to hopefully inspire, and it was learning from the best of the best. And it was free. This was totally unheard of in the world, and something quite special. When I first heard about it developing the 'x' arm, expanding into countries and providing 'local' minds to express their ideas and explore new frontiers, I was stoked.

I describe myself as an enthusiastic hobbyist Photographer. the reason being, I enjoy doing photography as a hobby and I have great respect for those who do it professionally. I did not attend some formal classroom or a school of Photography to do what I do now, this is basically a cocktail made out of: love for the camera, creative mind, an eye for images and a passion to frame everything that comes to my sight...then press the shutter button. In simple terms, I felt in love with Photography. My style involves everything that need to be photographed. Which is basically nothing more than; observe....then shoot. I have not adopted a specific style since there is much to discover in this endless Universe. |

We'd love to offer all media press passes and we truly appreciate your support, unfortunately we're not able to do so budget-wise, so here's the plan: Media can earn a media pass, by interviewing the team, and/or some of the speakers and write an article/produce multimedia prior to the event. From this we can see the quality of the work, and may decide to allocate a media pass - we will only allocate three in total. Alternatively you are welcome to attend the event as a paying audience member and blog about it in your own capacity afterwards, being respectful to the difference between TED and TEDx. Please see the TED & TEDx press guidelines here: tedxcapetown.org/media |
