I always seem to be able to see a photo, but did not have the knowledge to create winning images. I started photography on a more serious note after I retired from physiotherapy in 2015. I joined the Uitenhage Cameraclub and has been an active member there since May 2015. In the 5 years I could see myself grow and I started to feel more confident in entering various competitions.
I belong to the PSSA (Photographic Society of South Africa) where I acquired the following accolades: LPSSA colour in June 2017, LPSSA mono in January 2020, APSSA colour in January 2020, DPSSA colour in June 2020 and a DPSSA mono in June 2020.

At present I am the owner of A&A Guesthouse. The photographic workshops that I shall present, will be held at A&A Guesthouse (www.aaguesthouse.co.za). I have good managers at the guesthouse, which gives me lots of free time to be in awesome places to built on my portfolio.
My other hobbies are kitesurfing and surfing . If I am not in the water myself, I’m on the beach capturing all the action. Easier to anticipate the next move, if you do the sport yourself. You can view these portfolios at https://antionettemorkel.smugmug.com/Surfing and https://antionettemorkel.smugmug.com/Kitesurfing-photos
I shall be hosting workshops in Wildlife, Landscape and surfing from January 2021. All my photos that are open for public viewing are for sale, please contact me on my personal cellphone for more detail.
