Portrait sessions, small weddings, and documentary family shoots across the Western Cape, plus prints, zines, and a limited run of framed work. Studio days happen in Woodstock, and travel to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal is possible on request.
Six formats cover most of what people ask for. Each one runs differently, and the notes on every gallery explain the light, the location, and the gear, so you know what a session looks like before you commit to a date.
One person, a couple, or a small group, usually an hour to ninety minutes. We pick a location together, often Bo-Kaap or a stretch of the Sea Point promenade, and work with whatever the light is doing that day rather than forcing a look.
Ceremonies up to roughly forty guests, in the Winelands or closer to town. Coverage follows the day as it happens: preparations, the ceremony, the long table. A short list of group frames at the end is fine, but the rest stays unposed.
A morning at home, a walk, a birthday. No shot list, no directing the kids. These run longer, usually two hours, because the good frames tend to show up once everyone forgets the camera is there.
Selected frames from recent sets are available as prints, and the personal film projects get collected into small zines a few times a year. Both are made to order, so turnaround depends on the run and the paper you pick.
A limited selection of prints comes framed, mostly landscape and street work from the Cape Town sets. Availability shifts as pieces move, so it is worth asking what is currently on the wall before you plan around a specific image.
Studio days run out of Woodstock for portraits that need a controlled setup. For everything else, travel across the Western Cape is standard, and trips to Gauteng or KwaZulu-Natal can be arranged on request with enough notice.
Not sure which format fits your date? The process page walks through how a session is planned, and you can always send a message with your date and a rough idea.
Four formats cover most of what people ask for. Each one keeps the same documentary habit: follow what happens, stay out of the way, and let the day look like the day. Pick the one that fits your date and we can talk through the rest.
Two people, one person, or a small group. We usually walk a short route and stop where the light works, so the frames come from movement rather than a pose sheet.
Ceremonies up to about forty guests, in the Winelands, along the coast, or at a city venue. Coverage follows the day from preparations to the last table, mostly in available light.
A morning at home, a walk on the promenade, a birthday that is already happening. No shot list, no direction. I stay close and let the children set the pace.
For anyone who wants the work on a wall or on a shelf. Loose prints, small-run zines from the personal film projects, and a limited set of framed pieces.
Travel across Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal is possible on request. Send your date and a rough idea of what you have in mind, and we can work out which format fits.
