Marié-Louise Myburgh – ‘My wild-life and birds photography journey’.

My art career in South Africa covered a wide range of genres because one thing always leads to the next. After my studies at Art School, I earned my first income as a Heraldic artist at the SA State Archives while, at the same time, as a freelance artist I earned good money painting commissioned portraits, illustrating many children’s books and designing book covers for publishing houses. Having successfully indulged in many more artistic genres over time, I eventually found photography where some of these old indulgences feature often: little stories and portraits. With time, upgrades in camera gear became a must-do thing and for me, this caused greater interest and enhanced indulgence in the art form of photography. Like all photographers, I love going out in search of the ultimate photo and then come home with far too many good, reasonable and bad shots to cull, edit and save. External hard drives are my saving grace. Social media is my ‘brag-book cum art gallery’.
