Thobeka


photograph by Seth Boyd


I was on my way to scout locations for the Microsoft shoot in Cape Town as this hotel maid was on her way in. She had a strikingly intense face and lovely demeanor and I had thought to myself I wish I would have had time just then to photograph her. I also thought (only to myself) that my partner Seth who was staying behind and still in the room should do so in my absence. When I came back home from scouting Seth showed me the photographs that he had made that day and presto magicko there she was. I think it is beautiful portrait and am proud that my man made it. Seth generally considers himself an architectural photographer who does it strictly for the work but since he bought the D3 he has been a bit of a shutterbug.
