MY NAME
I’m Tanli (pronounced like Stanley but without the ‘S’ ). My parents made up my name…on the spot..no exotic origin . My mum thought I was going to be a boy and had settled on the name ‘Russel’, but turns out, I wasn’t a boy and they had to think of a new name, pronto!
WHERE AM I FROM?
I am South African. I left the heat and the dust and the expanse of beautiful Africa and moved to the green and old and cold of the beautiful Cotswolds,UK. I miss Africa and waking up to 32 degrees at 8 am on a Sunday morning BUT I love England and now wear ‘jumpers’ ….a lot!
LITTLE LOVES
I have 2 cats, Kodak (on the right) and Agfa. I love Kodak slightly more than I love Agfa, but thankfully Agfa cannot read this!
I also have 2 children, but love them both the same!
FAVOURITE MOVIE
‘Legends of the Fall’ , followed closely by ‘The Last Of the Mohicans’, or maybe ‘The English Patient’…I can’t decide! I also love ‘The Life of Pi’ and the Marvel movies, actually this is a silly question as there are too many choices!
FAVOURITE BOOKS
‘If the Sun Doesn’t Kill You The Washing Machine Will’- Peter Wood
‘The Stand’ – Stephen King
‘The Life of Pi’ – Yan Martel
HAVE I ALWAYS BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER
I used to be a competitive showjumper and dressage rider and had 2 horses.. I miss them terribly and yearn to ride again. I also used to be a Marketing Manager, but I don’t miss that at all!

A BIT OF
HONEST ADVICE
What ‘helps’ and what can ‘hinder’ your day
Briefly and concisely explain what you do for your audience.
GOLDEN HOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Can you plan your golden hour photos?
Naturally drawn to shooting backlit, I almost always position the light behind my subjects because I find it produces the most flattering results. Capturing moments during the golden hour elevates this lighting preference to a whole new level. So, let’s explore the allure of golden hour together! What defines it? And can you harness its magic?
