About DMƒ-stop

​

Hi there 👋🏼

I’m Duan, born in '88 and living amidst the captivating landscapes of Cape Town, South Africa. Blessed to journey through life with my amazing wife, Maryke, I’ve spent over eight years capturing the beauty of the world through the lens of a camera. My journey began with a passion for adventure, visiting incredible places like the Kruger National Park, Maldives, Dubai, and Reunion Island, where I found inspiration in every sunrise and tranquil escape.

In 2016, I took my first step into content creation with a drone, sharing raw footage of my adventures. Over time, that passion has grown into a mission to share more facets of my life and interests—from wildlife and landscapes to technology, faith, and building dream homes.

You may know me as DMƒ-stop across social media platforms—a name inspired by our initials and the ƒ-stop camera setting, symbolising clarity and focus. I’m stepping in front of the camera to bring you along on this exciting journey.
