Ocean Driven Media and Photography
Durban photographers
Last Friday we went to watch the musical revue Shake it Out at Westville Boys High School and I was completely blown away at the talent and passion shown on the night. The lighting was spectacular, the dance routines were phenomenal, the enthusiasm and excitement shown by everyone on stage was inspirational and the whole experience unfortunately went by too quickly. As I … [Read more...]
On Saturday the 2nd March 2013 CCI held their annual awards evening at the ICC, Durban. CCI is a call-centre with a marked difference- the way their employees are treated. CCI has one of the most vibrant work environments of any company I have come across, with regular events held throughout their year and a giving-back and caring policy adopted by the company heads. This night … [Read more...]
It was that time of the year again when The Rising Star Academy held their annual production and this year as the previous year Ocean Driven Media supported it. For some reason every year it rains on the night of the full dress rehearsal but that doesn't put a damper on the outstanding performances from the children. You can never get enough of live entertainment and … [Read more...]
Nothing beats a live performance especially from young children who just show their enthusiasm and energy without any hangups. The Rising Star Academy had their end of year performance, Galaxy Rock, at The Seabrooke's Theatre at Durban High School and wow what a show. The talent on show was quite amazing and everyone did extremely well and got everyone up on their feet … [Read more...]
After watching the Michael Jackson History show at the Sibaya Izulu Theater few weeks back, I knew and had to shoot the show because of how well it is done and the lighting was just amazing. I'm not a big Michael Jackson fan but after watching this show, it has sure changed how I feel, the energy and polished moves is just something you have to see! The worlds number one … [Read more...]
Last week saw the 123rd session of the Independent Olympic Committee take place in Durban, kicking off with a multi-cultural extravaganza in the Opera Theatre at the Playhouse. Both Jacob Zuma and Jacques Rogge (IOC President) addressed the delegates before some spectacular acts on stage, including Ladysmith Black Mambaso. During the event, the flags of each of the countries … [Read more...]
The Open Air School opened 90 years ago catering for children with varying physical disabilities. I was fortunate enough to shoot the school choir together with some of the KZNPO members prior to Saturday evening's performance - what a humbling experience!! The Gala Concert on Saturday evening was a very special event that was extremely well attended. Congratulations must go … [Read more...]
Saturday night saw the first performance of the Watoto Children's Choir as they begin their 5-week tour of South Africa. They made up the second half the the evening's performance following on from the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and the Drakensberg Boys Choir. Watoto and LIV are holistic care programmes that were initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned … [Read more...]
It's not often that I attend the opera but since this is probably the world's most popular opera and there were sub-titles, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The power and control these people have in their voices is mind boggling. Mind you, the lighting was also mind boggling - dramatic for the stage but a nightmare for the photographer with about 12 stops difference in … [Read more...]
The Idols auditions hit Durban this week and hundreds of hopefuls pitched up at Moses Mabhida Stadium well before sunrise with the dream of making the big time. All shapes and sizes and varying degrees of talent and eccentricity baked in the sun and sweated in the studio holding onto the hope that they would be one of the fortunate few to receive a Golden Ticket to Sun City. … [Read more...]
