About Me

Faces around Cape Town. - FACT is a partnership — part community project, part photographic expression. FACT is an interpretation of life in and around Cape Town. It is a progressive venture with colourful photographs taken by myself of characters around our beautiful city. I have chosen to present these photographs on fabric. The fact range includes limited edition hand bags and prints as well as cushions, cards, coasters, paperweights, scented soy wax candles and keyrings. In addition is a range of bags, cushions, lamps, coasters and paperweights with beautiful images of south african scenes - wild life, farmlands and flora. When purchasing a limited edition product from faces around cape town, you assist in providing books for the schools that the children from Rooidakke Township attend.

Combining Fact Photography with Shweshwe


Combining two different fabric styles
 and adding texture



Fact photo- Ele Tusk -  and a grey and white
shweshwe were combined to create this cushion. 
A braided string was used to tye up both sides. 

This elephant was photographed at Orpen Dam in the Kruger
National Park, we stopped there for breakfast
one morning and watched a herd of elephant move across
the veldt towards us and the dam.
