Twenty nine years after leaving South Africa, Kevin and his family were able to enjoy visiting the country that he grew up in. Southern Africa offers so many photographic opportunities that range from beautiful landscapes to some of the most incredible wildlife on earth.
Kevin was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa and moved to Canada in 1992 where he met his wife, Debby. In 1998 they moved to Northern Virginia with their 2-year-old son, Ryan. Their second son, Jared, was born in 1999 when they moved into their current home in Fairfax City. Kevin’s eldest son is now working and living in Austin, TX and his youngest is a senior at the University of Alabama. Kevin currently works as a physical therapist in a private practice clinic, which he founded in 2003.
Kevin became interested in photography about 16 years ago when he bought his first Canon DSLR. Prior to that he had a Pentax SLR, which he owned for about 5 years prior to switching to digital. He learned the basics with this camera but was never that interested in photography. The change to digital provided instant feedback, which allowed him to learn beyond the basics a lot faster. Kevin also enjoys post processing and continues to improve his skills with practice and online learning. He currently uses Canon equipment that he has accumulated over the years. His favorite subject to shoot is motor racing, which is influenced by his interest in the sport. Not far behind is nature and animals which he was fortunate enough to enjoy while living in South Africa. He states that the great thing about photography is that you can take a photo of almost anything out there and make it something unique. He has been a member of NVPS for five years and has enjoyed meeting some wonderful people and great photographers. He enjoys sharing his photos but also enjoys seeing the great talent of others. Kevin loves the creativity of photography and looks forward to many more years of creating and sharing images.
