I grew up as a farm boy on a small sheep farm just half an hour outside of Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. I studied Electronics at a Technical High School in East London until 1997 when I matriculated with an N3 Technika Electrical Equivalent. I then Studied Electronic Origination at the Southern African Printing College in 1998 and Graduated with distinction. I qualified as a Desktop Publisher in the Lithographic Printing industry where I continued to work for over 11years. Between all of that, I served a 2 year proselyting mission for my church in Scotland which added a vast number of skills and personal attributes to my experience. In 2005 I received my Diploma of Photography through The Photography Institute and by 2011 I established TGVphoto and was working full time as a Professional Photographer and Graphic Designer while still offering Print Rep-ping too.
