2015-04-29 Discovery Pioneers shoot 1

This was the first portrait of a series of shoots for Discovery Foundation 2015

The Brief was to capture the emotions and personality of the Doctors. The photography setup needed to remain the same for all the doctors. The challenge was to keep the setup small and portable so that we couldtravel all over South Africa.

A 4 light setup was used to create the portraits.

2 x Profoto D 1 lights were used as the back light and 2x Profoto B 1 with a beauty dish and a small Square Soft box was used in front.

All the photos were taken on a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon 100 f2.8 macro lens was used. The 100 canon is n super sharp lens that never disappoints.

We travelled all over South Africa and met the most amazing people.

2015-03-13 Discovery Sharks

Passion, Commitment, Fun, this is photography at its best.

We were commissioned by Discovery to take photographs of the Sharks rugby team.

The brief was to take portraits and action photos of one of South Africa's top rugby teams before the start of the Super 14 rugby tournament. The client wanted dynamic lighting, serious poses and game changing moments. This is thelook we had to capture.

Time was an concern and the photo shoot had to be done in the changing rooms.

This shoot called for a big lighting setup. Sunshine company was our "go to guys" and they delivered as always.

We used 6 x Profoto B4 power packs to freeze motion. 5 xPro heads and one Profoto twin head..

This was a fun shoot, the players were down to earth and extremely professional.  The client was super cool.

Good luck for the Season
