Michael Gobel Snr.

As a husband and wife team we love travelling and exploring some of the most beautiful places around the world. As a born and bred South African, l am privileged to be living in a country that has some of the most beautiful natural landscapes the world has to offer. Although both of us are enthusiastic photographers, l must note that my wife has been a professional photographer for many years, yet we currently find our team effort of her being the model and l being the photographer a far better option. Besides, she has a natural beauty that l love to expose to the world through the lens of a camera. As a professional artist l believe l also possess a keen eye for anything of beauty, whether that comes in the form of the human body or in the self-expression of nature and the world around us. I try as best l can to bring out the best of a subject, or the elements l am working with to present to the viewer a composition that is not only pleasing to the eye but also interesting. Whether it's capturing a still-life, landscape or a beautiful woman. As both a artist and a photographer it is important that the final shot expresses the beauty of the human spirit and of the wonder of its creation in whatever form, shape, color or medium we work with.
