Fiona Meijer-Innes

Like many in my generation, my passion for photography began with a simple Instamatic camera passed down by my sister. As my skills and travels grew, so did my love for capturing moments. Frustrated by landscapes never matching what I saw, I took a course that taught me a simple truth: it’s not about the camera, but about taking time—to observe, understand light, and wait for the perfect moment.

In 2018, leaving the corporate world, time became available for me to fully pursue this passion. Now, living in Cape Town with breathtaking scenery at my doorstep, I’ve embarked on landscape projects with my husband, sharing our work through this website. While the photography world is crowded, I’ve learned that creating images with purpose makes space for something truly unique.

My passion for photography began in the early ’70s with a portrait course, where I loved working with light—back when black and white was all we had. Nature photography soon captured my interest, leading to a collection of slide images. In the ’90s, a visit to Africa sparked my love for videography.

A Nikon safari workshop in Chobe, Botswana, reignited my passion for still photography, especially birds. Holding a 500mm lens and capturing wildlife requires patience, spending hours by a waterhole, knowing something remarkable will happen.

Through Fiona’s Cape Dawn Project, I started to dabble time-lapse photography. After some research, discovered OSnap!, the perfect iPhone app to capture these unfolding moments each morning.
