Tule Shoot

I collaborated with Sharne Gouws and Chloe Hicks Makeup to create this beauty story using tule as the main prop. I am known for my simple lighting set ups and followed Lara Jade & Anita Sadowska’s “One Light” set up for this shoot. I was always self conscious about my one light set up, but…

Yulia

Last week I photographed Yulia. She had never modeled before and did an amazing job as she arrived to the shoot with a strong idea of poses – it makes a huge difference when models/clients do their homework. The first part of the shoot was based on a little bridge in Cape Town, one that…

@KamaraGoddess

The Goddess, aka Kamara had her very first shoot with me some time ago. I have worked with Kamara a few times, photographing her Vada -by Sivada clothing brand which she co-owns with her sister so I was very excited to finally be working with Kamara in front of the camera.

TBT

This week I am sharing 90’s Suburbia  for Throw Back Thursday which I shot with The Dollhouse Clothing (now called The Dollhouse Collective). I loved the attitide in this shoot and, of course, Courtney’s hair! Have a look at other final edits via the link here.  Tonight I will be covering the Elle Rising Star Awards…

A Marilyn Moment

I photographed the most awesome Marilyn Monroe inspired shoot for a client and these are a few images from the final edits. We had a strong team and enjoyed the sunshine on the beach as we laughed and thought of some great vintage/Marilyn poses. The clothing for this shoot was sourced from Vintage and The…

Weekly Wrap Up

This week, once again, was filled with Internship hours and studio shoots for You & Huisgenoot Magazine. I did, however, sneak in a shoot for Vikson Handbags and Ruby Lingerie & Accessories. Today I am off to Fashion Week with the Tgether girls- images from fashion week to be uploaded at the end of every…

Winter Beauty

Before I left for Port Elizabeth I photographed Clare’s portfolio shoot. We had a stunning stable-like location, a little different to what was expected but I think it resulted in some amazing images.  Jane Banks styled the shoot with items from Portobello Road (a must see in Kenilworth main road) and Kirsti van Zyl did…

Pallavi Das

I worked with one of D&A Management’s international models last season and decided to post about this shoot today. Pallavi was such an amazing model and so easy to work with, I loved how she pulled off every look so well from the biker/grunge look to the soft gypsy field look. The amazing styling was…

BTS Round Up

So I thought I would change things up a bit and post about my week at work behind the scenes. Some bloggers do the instagram thing and some do “favourites for the week” but I am going to give you all a sneak peek into what I got up to this week…behind the scenes… Clockwise:…

Day with DV-Makeup

I recently photographed Dercia from DV Makeup under the Baked The Blog Style Special. She had a strange request for her winter themed shoot as she wanted to photograph her items on the beach! When I met her she explained that in her country they  spend winters on the beach so it would make sense to…

Candy

“Candy” is a shoot I did for a makeup artist that goes by the name “Eye Candy Makeup”, she wanted something very different for her website and so we collaborated with Angies Attic in Sea Point and Cillicious Bakery to create this shoot.   Cillicious Bakery supplied us with adorable cupcakes that had makeup elements…
