Photographer in Cape Town

I’m Danja

Behind The Lens:

I come from a family of ardent SCUBA divers. Originally, I started working as a SCUBA diving instructor, but the lure of capturing the perfect image underwater proved to be too difficult to resist and with the super smooth dive skills gained over 5000 logged dives during many of our “family holidays” which turned out to be dive expeditions I managed to dive both locally and in many exotic and remote locations around the world.

During these diving holidays my mother and I began a new dream together – to write a book on the wonders of ocean life and showcase my ever-growing underwater portfolio.

The result was that we co-authored two books together – “Secrets of a Blue Universe – An Underwater Explorer” and “The Underwater Photography Handbook”.

Selling on five continents, in several languages, these books in turn led to my photography being requested by publishers of several other coffee table editions.
