SP

About your local photographer

I started my professional life as a sociologist before using photography as a means to communicate the stories I was seeing. I now try to capture the true moments in life from behind the lens.

My lucky break came whilst recovering from a boating accident that left my spine so damaged, doctors feared I may never walk again. Desperate for a solution to the chronic pain, I headed South to the African sun, armed with a Canon Eos 5 and a huge bag of film. The images I captured on a tobacco farm in Zimbabwe during the land invasions of 2000, formed my first exhibition at the Zimbabwe High Commission in London. Tipped as a ‘Shooting Star’ by the British Journal of Photography, I continued to work with international humanitarian organisations such as WaterAid, CARE, and Médecins Sans Frontières. My images bringing awareness to major social issues and gracing the covers of international newspapers and magazines.

In 2009, I bought a crumbling riad in the ancient Marrakech medina and started taking customers off the beaten track to places only a local knows on my bespoke Photo Tours. Now a mother and based in France, I split my time between running Photo Experiences in Morocco and selling my photographs as PhotoArt.

SP and her team at clik-trip photo provide an excellent photo experience. SP lived in Marrakech for several years and knows the city inside & out. She takes you to all the back ally ways/ beautiful archways/ provides great feedback and helps w/your photography ensuring you get the photos you want. SP is friendly & very professional. Well worth the price to see and photograph Marrakech with someone who really knows what she is doing. Highly recommend SP or anyone that works with her.

A highlight of my journey throughout Morocco were the two days I spent with SP in Marrakesh. She is a gifted photographer, an inspirational instructor, and an incredibly knowledgable tour guide. I was even sent back to my hotel with a homework assignment. In addition to guiding me on the roads less traveled by tourists, she also introduced me to many locals who were more then happy to have their portraits taken. We spent quite some time standing at one of the entrances into the medina where I was able to photograph a variety of Moroccans from different walks of life as they entered or exited the city. We also spent time in a tannery capturing the scene as well as the different workmen. As we wondered through the medina and souk we often had to fight our way around the donkeys, carts, motorbikes and vehicles. One must keep one’s eyes wide open not only to capture all the special moments, but to live to tell about it. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with SP and hope to meet up with her in another part of the world.
