Over the past few weeks I've been busy doing shoots with models, and have finally had a moment to sit down and blog about it. First up we have Jessica Shuttleworth and Duncan Meyer, of S.I.D Photography fame. Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and I was very happy with how the shoot went. Duncan wanted in on a few photos so he could practice his modeling (I'm kidding) and … [Read more...]
There is one word that sums Kayla up, natural. She is such and easy person to work with and it definitely shows in the photographs! Ben Myburgh and myself discovered this amazing spot in Westville to shoot but we going to keep that a secret! Kayla was yet again such a pleasure to shoot and I am very pleased with the shots we got! … [Read more...]
After Strini had called and set up a double Groupon shoot, I guess I was expecting another family. After all, that's predominantly how the Groupon shoots have been used. So I was a little surprised when he arrived with Lameez in tow. She has modelled in the past but kids put that on hold, so now she is looking to restart a modelling career and needed some images to build a … [Read more...]
I often get strange requests from people I have not heard from in ages, wanting to know if they can carry my bags?? Weird right! I have worked with Michelle on numerous occasions and each time just gets better. Its so important for the model to be comfortable with the photographer, if not you will see it straight away in the photographs! Thank you Michelle for your time it … [Read more...]
We are now into July and Nombuso has been the first to take advantage of our winter special. Don't waste time get involved! … [Read more...]
I have not shot models on location for a while now but that did not stop me from getting shots that made everyone happy. In the beginning everyone was a bit tense but in no time everyone was comfortable and ideas started flowing. In the end I think we all had a great morning shooting and walked away with some stunning shots. Nombuso and Manon dressed by designer Fatima … [Read more...]
Traci Phillips is a pretty good longboarder and she won an Ocean Driven Media voucher for a surf photoshoot recently, but decided to exchange it for a studio shoot. So, together with her boyfriend Tyrone, she came into the studio for a fun shoot. Both of them were naturals in front of the camera and we had a lot fun, which I hope comes through in these images. Thanks guys, it … [Read more...]
A little while ago I saw this child at the beach who had that X-factor look. Then I bumped into mom and dad at a wedding I was shooting and they were keen to do a little portfolio for her. So we set it up and little Piara came into the studio this morning, a little shy at first but she soon warmed up to the camera and the flash of the studio lights. What a stunning child; … [Read more...]
So we've got the Dusi coming up later this week and it's going to be a slog in the valley for three days. Fun, but still a slog. So it was great to have one of those shoots this morning that I consider a perk of the job. The sun didn't want to play ball but the still conditions and the stunning model gave us something to work with. Ang, you're a star and I look forward to the … [Read more...]
It's always been a perk of the job to have a gorgeous woman in front of the lens! The past week was particularly interesting with a number of said "perk" shoots. Thanks to the ladies for their willingness and hard work and to Island Style for a lot of the bikinis. … [Read more...]
I always work with Billie when I do the school photos at The Roseway Waldorf School so it was a treat to photograph her and her family … View >>
On Saturday morning I was once again reminded why I love my job so much. Joanne and Steve were married in the Stone Chapel in … View >>
