"Eat beetroot and be kind"


Peter Button - South African Pioneer Big Wave Surfer

About Lemon Yellow Sun

From somewhere rough comes something smooth. Cape Town, South Africa, Tim Van Vuuren birthed the vibrant Lemon Yellow Sun in the midnight blue waters of the raw commading Atlantic ocean.  What's the mantra, you ask? It's all about the sweet taste of genuine good times, friends, care, nature, culture, adventures, being true to yourself and charging hard!


 From sandy shores, to the unspoilt wilderness to the untamed waves in forgotten places, we're the seekers of those untouched wild spaces and the ultimate wave havens in Africa explored and unexplored. Our love for the oceans' embrace and the untouched beauty of nature finds expression through the lens.

I was born In South Africa and love a good laugh, adventure, nature, wildlife and the ocean most of all. I have spent the initial part of my career in the wilds of Africa, starting off as a game ranger and working up to become a wildlife fimmaker  & photographer having worked freelance in the industry ever since. As a small boy I was always exposed to the ocean and fell in love with it from the get go always longing to get back to it. 


I followed my dream and moved to live next to the ocean. Cape Town it was and my life revolves around surfing, freediving, diving, conservation, people and ocean filmmaking and photography. I have a great appreciation and love for my home continent of Africa and have been lucky enough to have travelled it extensively and I'm looking for the next journey and collaboration whether it be you surf session, your business, photographing your family for you or your event. I do it all.


Some say, 'Jack of all trades, master of none,' but I see it differently. Over the years, I've honed my skills across multiple genres, building a diverse portfolio that showcases both versatility and expertise. My work speaks for itself, and I'm proud of the stories it tells.


PS, if you were wondering about the profile picture, yes that is a tampon:) Before I could afford insurance for my camera in a housing I stuck it in there in case of a pesky leak. And yes I still do it to this day and travel around with a box of tampons wherever I go:)
