Cape Town is South Africa’s crown jewel, often regarded as the most European city on the continent. Established by the Dutch East India Company in 1652, it was the first major settlement in South Africa, earning the affectionate nickname “The Mother City.” Its strategic geographical position at the southwestern tip of Africa has historically made it a significant hub for global trade.

As you may have noticed on our instagram lately, I have been experimenting with a variety of styles of photography – particularly with regards to editing photos. In the past, I’ve had a clear idea of how I would like my images to look, but recently, I’ve decided to take more risks with my photo editing and not always choose the obvious.
