Highlights of 2014

Before sharing my new work I thought I would post about a few of my top favorite shoots for 2014: In no specific order:   Elrico & Ritza’s special day was set in the farmlands, surrounded by vineyards. We shot in perfect light which resulted in a lot of soft, warm images. I photographed Courtney…

Sandton Streets with @foyinog & about Tegan Smith Photography

While visiting JHB I worked with a few bloggers and creatives in the industry. Many people seem to believe that I am an inhouse photographer for a creative influencer in Cape Town and therefore believe that I do not shoot for anyone else. I am hoping to break this reputation as many people do not…

SA Fashion Week

While shooting for Sliq Media in JHB I exteneded my stay one day longer to attend the opening party and first night of SA Fashion Week. It was so lovely to see everyone, JHB really is a beautiful place with the most friendly, inspiring people! The opening party was held at Katy’s Palace, the latest…

Thea

 I recently photographed a personal shoot for Thea. It was her first time modelling and she did an amazing job. We had fun shooting a soft, lifestyle look and then finishing off the shoot in studio with a black studio AND white studio look. What was your favourite look? Tweet me @tegzphotography x0x0

Sea, Sand, Swimwear

I thought I would post something a little warmer today! Winter is on its way and as much as I love shooting winter themed photoshoots, I do miss Summer terribly! I photographed a personal photoshoot for Tomomi a little while back and would love to share a few edits with you! I am also launching…

Bunny Blur

I photographed this Easter-inspired look with Aisha recently and have been dying to shoot a full black & white story. I took this opportunity when she showed me this all-black outfit. We both wanted to shoot something with strong lines, high contrast and also in a neutral location as the outfit has details that cannot…

Dercia’s Graduation

Lately I have been photographing alot of Matric Dance outfits, I think it is because I work with alot of bloggers which allows people to believe that they can approach me for photoshoots other than fashion and model portfolios. I find alot of people telling me that photographers are unapproachable. People battle to contact photographers…

REHORP – using talent for good

 Last week I visited the REHORP horses in Phillipi, Cape Town.  I visit the area and photograph the new horses as they arrive to be rehabilitated and re-homed. I have met such lovely personalities throughout my two years of working with them. Last week I met two ex-racehorses, one so big that I could not…

The Dance

   I was lucky enough to be a part of Bilquees’ special day and photograph her matric dance experience.  I have photographed alot of matric dance dresses lately and I enjoy it as it is a nice break from the usual work and the girls always look tooooo beautiful!   Bilquees looked absolutely gorgeous and…

Keep it Real

Aisha and I had a meeting last week and I got to test out my new lens which I bought specially for SA Fashion Week. I love how with THIS lens I can zoom, so I can catch people unexpectedly and get REAL, RAW photos.  Aisha and I are in JHB currently, check out her…

Summer vs Winter hues

 I shot this wintery look with Aisha recently and she released it today, on a cold, gloomy Monday in Cape Town. Aisha and I loved our dark, reflective location and I made sure I shot at a low light allowing all of the textures in the dress to show. In post production I added a…

Clare

I recently shot with Clare to update her model portfolio. She wanted something very casual and warm. Here are a few edits from the shoot: We had an amazing team and perfect weather. Thank you to Portobello Road for supplying clothing and accessories for this shoot!
