Ekaterina Kornishina - Flutist and Music psychology counsellor at the 2024

During her first appearance at this festival it was apparent that everyone was enchanted by this dynamic, talented, smart and incredibly warm young musician. Whether it was her public masterclass, her talk on making mistakes in music or her performance on stage, the audience was captivated, as was I.

Xandi van Dijk at the 2024

One of the most warm, friendly and unassuming characters, one would never guess Xandi’s huge list of accomplishments as a viola player and as a conductor. Along with his Signum Quartet he has graced the stage of Carnegie Hall, he is the principal viola of the Munich Chamber Orchestra among others, Xandi has conducted all the major South African orchestras and recorded the film score for Catch a Fire.

He just seems to have so much fun on stage, it is infectious!

Peter Martens - Principal Cellist with the and Director of the

Not only did Peter organise the festival along with his hardworking team, but like most of them, he also performed, finding time to rehearse amidst all the administrative work. An outstanding achievement! How can one be so busy and talented in so many ways and also be so calm, humble and kind? Such a pleasure to work with.

Pianist, Cofounder and Artistic Director of the Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival, Nina Schumann.

It was such a special treat to see this incredible South African pianist rehearsing and then performing Tanayev’s Piano Quintet in G Minor, Op. 30 alongside Andrew Baranov (violin 1), Anna Vasileva (violin 2), Fedor Belugin (viola) and Boris Adrianov (cello).

Nina is such an inspirational person and an enchanting pianist with many local and international accolades to her name. Her crowning achievement is surely the truly exceptional Chamber Music Festival which I was honoured to capture this year.

Thanks for an amazing ten days Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival!

Huge congrats to Nina Schumann, Peter Martens and the whole admin team for organizing such a professional and world class festival.

As for the talented musicians from students to local and international faculty members… just wow… WOW! I was blown away.

Backstage at is my favourite place to be! The atmosphere is electric as musicians prepare to go on stage or come off elated after a standing ovation and congratulate their colleagues. Such a sense of camaraderie and support. ❤️

Having a great time shooting at the glorious surrounded by some of SA and the world’s best classical musical talent.

Tango Dancer Betsabet Flores

At the start of the festival I caught a few shots of this amazingly talented dancer getting ready for her performance. Images from the dance to follow!

I had the great luck and privilege to have my trip to Dubai coincide with the festival. It was such a thrill to see old friends, reconnect, and be a part of the tango magic again. I shot at the very first Tango Dubai Festival many many years ago.

Keep an eye out for more photos which I will post here and in a full gallery on my page!

I have taken hundreds, if not thousands, of portraits in my career as a professional photographer and my favourite lighting setup of all remains a simple single soft box short light. This setup is classic and adds a bit of drama especially with a dark background where the head emerges from the darkness and I just love the gradations of shadow that fall on the opposite cheek, revealing the shape of the face.

Had fun cleaning up the beach and taking pics at Strand jetty with Helderberg Ocean Awareness Movement and Hope4SA and . Everyone pitching in to keep our beaches beautiful!

It embodies what makes live music and particularly Jazz so special to me… the passion, the connection, the joy. Thanks for your amazing talent and for this special moment.

The amazing Yolanda Botha conductor of the Helderberg-based Classical Sounds Orchestra. I captured their performance for children at the Dutch Reformed Church along with her choir. It was a wonderful programme. So much talent on one stage, driven by Yolanda’s infectious enthusiasm and passion. Helderberg is very lucky to have her!
