Portfolio-building sessions for new faces and agency-represented models. Editorial and lifestyle frames, on location around Cape Town.
I'm a photographer in Cape Town who works regularly with models, agencies, and brands. Test shoots build the kind of frames you can actually use — editorial portraits, lifestyle stories, on-location work. I treat them with the same direction and edit standard as paid campaigns; the result has to earn its place in your book or it's not worth the time. Sessions are trade-based for portfolio-building, or paid where the brief requires more time and locations.
First portfolio shoot for newly signed or aspiring models. One look, on location, focused on a strong opening set — clean editorial frames, real settings. 30+ edited images, delivered within seven working days.
Adding to an existing book — additional looks, specific moods, or filling gaps your agency has flagged. Half-day on location, multiple looks, scoped to the brief. Image volume and turnaround scaled to the session.
Tests for agencies and brands developing models for upcoming campaigns. Concept-led, direction provided, treated as a paid campaign rather than a trade. Photo and video where useful.
Tell me about your project — sport, event, or campaign. I'll come back with a clear scope and timeline within 24 hours
