The man captivates me. His photography is creative, beautiful, awesome. And most importantly, inspiring!

Willem Oets. He is a Durban photographer, based in Amanzimtoti. I met him when I attended one of his basic photography courses. He first showed me the magic of Photoshop. And the beauty and 'music' to be had in photography.

I got to hear him speak a few weeks ago, and then asked him to speak at Hillcrest Camera Club. Amazingly, he said yes, and we all got to hear him last Tuesday. And what an inspiring breath of fresh air of creativity he is! He spoke about his journey from landscape photography to fine art nude, and to the final combination of the two. All explained poetically, and illustrated with beautiful images.

Made me want to get back to shooting boudoir. And to finding that creative spark again!

I also want to hear the 'music' when creating beautiful photography! Thanks for the inspiration, Willem. Below are a few of his images. Find more here.
