Family photo shoot at Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens
Its not often you get a perfect day in August, this last Saturday was a gorgeous summer day. It was the perfect day for a picnic at the Walter Sisulu botanical garden which the Van De Moortele family had planned to enjoy and relax and we could get some casual family photos of their lovely family. Hayley contacted me about a month ago and asked if i wouldn’t mind taking some photos for their step Mother Ria’s belated birthday gift. I must say it was such a relaxed calm day, i love taking photos when there is no rush, and on such a stunning day with great light, cute kids and being...

I love processing my images to black and white. There are times when some images just lend themselves more visually to black and white than in colour.

The second part of our shoot was on location along the most beautiful little river in Gauteng.It was the perfect picnic setting. The client wanted his model to be posed in a way to create a vision of a romantic fairytale spot, where a gorgeous girl indulges in an amazing feast. I think we managed to capture that idea nicely. The afternoon dappled light wasn’t very strong under the willow trees, and we needed to pop some light back into the shade.

A client of mine contacted me about 2 weeks ago, to do a company product shoot. He is a chef and has owned and run prestigious catering company’s. This is his new venture he is launching, and I’m 100% sure he will be very successful, and before long a market leader. His brief was that we capture some of his range of products to be launched at the Wedding Expo in September. He needed imagery for his flyers and stand.
