Eretz Israel Collection

About the Artist

Shortly after starting his photographic career in 1992, Grant soon became the Springbok Rugby Team’s official photographer for a period of nine years and was intimately involved in sport, event and social responsibility work during South Africa’s transition into democracy.

He found his passion in golf course photography in the mid 1990s and over time has established himself as one of the world’s esteemed photographers in this genre with a string of awards to his name and his work showcased globally.

In 2013, his self-published tome entitled Within an African Eden, scooped the majority of the international art-book publishing awards hosted in the USA.  https://vimeo.com/86699760

Gold: Benjamin Franklin Awards – New York ‘Coffee Table Books’

Gold: IPPY New York ‘Outstanding Book of the Year: Art & Craftsmanship’

The Land of Israel project is a work in progress and the Eretz Israel Collection portrays Grant’s signature style in exploring the feast of visual opportunities in Israel. In some of his images the use of the larger format digital systems differentiates his work with extreme detail demonstrating why these instruments are comparable to the 4×5 and 8×10 cameras of the analogue film era.

This work is now being acquired by collectors and patrons who cherish the significance and substance of his photographs.
