Somogyvari Photography

I was born and raised in South Africa, growing up on the south west coast, I spent most of my time dodging school and surfing as much as possible. Having always been interested in arts and photography from an early age, the difficulty of not making a career from photography was always known. However having spent numerous years abroad (UK) pretending to enjoy engineering sales, I was coerced into capturing my first wedding. “Really?” I thought, would that not be for the older “other” photographers that enjoy standing in well placed groups with their camera and tripod, asking nicely: “Say Cheese!” …? Well I very soon realised just what kind of skill, timing, flair, knowledge etc. is required.as you may have guessed I have been hooked ever since! My approach to wedding photography would consist of getting a good mix of formal and group shots, but ultimately my interest would lie in the creative and expressive side. What fuels my passion, is continuously trying new techniques, ideas, angles and lighting. Other quick facts about me include, having surfed for South Africa and successfully competed in competitions for several years. I enjoy adventurous sports and photographing them, I am also a qualified chef and have two crazy Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
