Black Forest Baritone Jaco Venter
A fellow South African living in Germany, Jaco Venter, asked me if I would take photos of him for his new personal website.
Jaco is a baritone and has performed on stages in the USA, Germany and South Africa. He made for an interesting photo model, he is very energetic and almost has a bit of an intimidating, masculine look. He has a great sense of humour and it was "lekker" for me to speak Afrikaans again with him.
For a backdrop he suggested the Frauenalb ruins in the Black Forest, just a stone's throw from where he lives. The monastery has red sandstone walls, which created a lovely, almost medieval setting for the photos.
