About me

Emile van Straaten
Photographer, Designer, Artist.
South Africa is where I'm from, and where I operate.
In my dreams and waking life I am an artist. I am a graphic designer by trade, and a photographer in passion.
I see the world in which I live as the ultimate artwork, and I am driven by a need to express my own creative existence within it. I have extensive formal training in the arts, and I use my technical understanding in the composition of my work. I see art as the ultimate means of connection between creativity and technique; mind and soul; reality and imagination; myself, and all the other people in the world.
Creation is my God, and I pray to her every day.
