Joe Lategan's career as a published professional fine art photographer began at an early age. Joe produces undoubtedly some of the most memorable fine art images on South African Landscapes, seascapes and wildlife also in the black & white genre as well as his personalized Artography style . Joe's Images in the platinum gallery such as "The last ranger" that won various awards, Urikaruus cloud, Sossusvlei collection and the very recently created "Garden of Edens Forbidden tree" , "My beach" and "Mooiplaas waterhole" in Black and White have decorated many proud collectors homes or offices. This years recently added creations to the Platinum range are even more awesome. The galleries on this website contain beautiful images photographed by the highly experienced multi-talented, naturalist and professional photographer - Joe Lategan working from South Africa .

There is also a range of his personally selected artography images if you are looking for a print of art & vibrant colours to match your house/business decor. Alternatively you may prefer traditional A4 or A3 fine-art prints which are available as prints alone or mounted ready for framing. Many images captured by Joe are available for use in commercial applications by publishers and webmasters - please contact me for more information. If you are prepared to travel to Joe, and eager to improve your own overall photographic skills, Joe can provide individual or small group tuition for users of SLR & Digital SLR cameras. Please contact him for further details of a range of workshops and safaris or his intensive one day photography course if interested. Bringing old buildings and historical places to life and giving character is what Joe Lategan is able to do with his heartfelt, breathtaking photography and combining it with art, he calls it Artography. He has the ability to capture the essence of a situation in a single image. His work has taken him to many places in Southern Africa.
