Van Staden family photos | Middle Beach Tofino

I wish I could control the sun. But I can’t, so why do I dwell on it so often?

Because although I cannot control the sun, I can use the light to my favour – I’ve dedicated years to learning light, to finding my groove with it, to pushing the limits of what I know and what I think I know. To me, lighting isn’t just an aspect to photography – it’s one of the subjects. The hard and fast rules are just ASKING to be broken. I’ll chase the light forever.
