Message from Chris
"While they do say a picture is worth a thousand words, most clients actually want a thousand words accompanying their photos, and I am more than qualified to assist you, as I have been in the industry since 2000. I was the editor and main feature writer of one of SA's largest lifestyle motoring magazines, my time at the magazine exposed me to many different lifestyle events and people, both locally and internationally, which means I now have an invaluable contact list. Dealing with so many varied people and personalities means I've had to make sure that my writing style is versatile, ranging from casual to corporate to technical, whatever your requirements.  Should the brief require something outside my scope of expertise, I am a skilled researcher and am flexible within my skill set and your needs will be well tailored. 
My photography, content creation & journalism skills have allowed me to attend many exclusive events and I've been lucky enough to capture great images of SA’s hottest bands, scariest EFC fighters, most amazing motoring events, the coolest tattoo artists and also extreme athletes. My work can be found in various local publications (available on request) and is also strewn across the internet on blogs and in online magazines.
