This video offers an intimate, ground-level look at the devastating aftermath of Cyclone Idai, not from a distance, but through the eyes of those who lived it. Every shot is deliberate, capturing the quiet wreckage of homes, the lingering grief in familiar faces, and the fragile threads of hope that still hold communities together.
The narrative moves gently between loss and resilience, allowing viewers to feel the weight of what was taken and the strength of those determined to rebuild. More than a documentation of destruction, it’s a visual plea for restoration, an invitation for stakeholders, partners, and compassionate hearts to step forward and be part of renewal. Through emotive storytelling, human connection, and powerful imagery, the film serves as both testimony and catalyst, urging collective action to help restore dignity, stability, and hope to the communities that once stood strong , and can again.

Capturing the artistry of an unforgettable outdoor high tea experience where culinary presentation met natural ambiance. This project showcased exquisite food styling against the soft, diffused light of an afternoon garden setting.
Food Photography Focus:
Each dish was photographed to emphasise texture, colour, and appetising composition—from delicate pastries with flaky layers catching golden light to vibrant fresh ingredients that pop against neutral table settings. I utilised natural overhead lighting to create soft shadows that add depth without overwhelming the food’s natural beauty.
Technical Approach:
Shallow depth of field to isolate hero dishes while maintaining contextual atmosphere
Strategic angles (45-degree, overhead, eye-level) to showcase different elements
Color grading that enhances warmth and appetite appeal
Attention to negative space and compositional balance
