MODEL PORTFOLIO PHOTOGRAPHER IN CAPE TOWN
Editorial Model Portfolio Shoot with Catherine Haupt
This moody editorial test shoot was created for agency use, shot just outside Cape Town in a foggy hillside setting. Designed to highlight strong posing, clean styling, and emotional range, the series blends natural light with a grounded, fashion-forward mood.
If you're working with a photo shoot agency in Cape Town or updating your model comp card, this kind of session is ideal. As a model portfolio photographer, I focus on crafting bold, timeless visuals that speak to both agencies and personal brands.
Looking for a model portfolio photographer in Cape Town? Let’s create a series that reflects your unique look and gives you an edge.
Set against soft fog and dry grass, the concept for this shoot was minimal but powerful — black tones against neutral earth, with sculptural poses and quiet attitude. Using a single chair and bold body language, the goal was to capture emotion and form without distraction.
From clean B&W portraits to cinematic full-body frames, this series is about presence, confidence, and contrast — everything a strong comp card needs.
