Alfred Minnaar
Photography is my life. Through my work, I endeavour to capture scarcity and beauty in unique and original ways.
It’s been a magical journey, with my diverse experience providing the perfect platform to get the best out of my subject matter.
I love to document both the human and the animal worlds. Their majesty and their darkness. Marine photography is where my story began. I was captivated by life's fragility and beauty. And the desire to photograph these core elements still burns strong within me.
In a world where we stand to lose so much, I look to keep memories alive. Humanity, cultures, wildlife, habitats and the rareness that runs through them. This is my passion.
My intention is to explore unique perspectives in an effort to showcase beauty and evoke emotion. My hope is this serves to encourage humanity to preserve what we have left.
