About Leon Pelser…

Leon Pelser, age 47, medical practitioner in private practice in Kriel. Born and studied in Bloemfontein. Married to Elizabeth-Ann who works for me, a son in matric and a daughter in grade 9. Doing serious photography for the last 10 years. A member of Highveld Photography Club in Secunda. I stopped doing slides and prints as a 4 star worker and is currently a 5 star worker in the digital division. I am a member of PSSA with LPSSA honours, working at the moment for my APSSA in macro nature. In 2010 the PSSA awarded me a Diamond rating in pictorial and nature devisions due to my amount of photo acceptances internationally and locally. I have 28 image publications in SA magazines, but it was “Goodbye Stewardt” who caught the eye of the judges in May this year when Die Burger and Beeld launched their photo competition. Stewardt came 2nd among 8074 entries and won me a 2 week trip up in Africa early 2012.
