surface deep reflections
While immersed in the Cape's natural landscapes, I’m drawn via unusual angles to unexpected beauty - reflections formed on still mountain and coastal rock pools. I focus on capturing these scenes as they naturally appear, then later flipping the images to explore the dreamlike ambiguity between surface and depth, earth and sky.

Each photograph is a single exposure. No overlays or AI generated elements are used.
What you see is what was present in that split second click - then inverted to reveal how the natural world composes its own illusions.
The resulting images blend rock, sky, plant, and water into seamless forms, where boundaries dissolve and new perspectives emerge to celebrate the Cape Floristic Region's biomes through a lens of subtle transformation.
