Joe Lategan has been capturing images of the beauty of Southern Africa since 1986 with sustainability at the core of everything he lays his hands on. Besides having a photographic gallery situated in the “World’s greatest biosphere” or Floral kingdom at the entrance to ‘World most scenic route’ and selling fine art images Internationally, Joe uses photography overwhelmingly as a inspirational tool and maintains that a single image is as valuable as the best and most expensive medication, many months of psychotherapy, and as good inspiration as the world’s best motivational speaker. He specializes on the spiritual meaning of photography and have inspired many beginners and advanced photographers as to the meaning of photography in their lives and those that are inspired by their photography. To this end he hosts shows and individual mentoring that explains the stories behind the images as well as spiritual, motivational and conservation lectures on aspects that present themselves in the different images.
Joe has concentrated on the business side especially marketing and sales of images and the unwritten science behind that what makes an image sell as well.
