Late last year I had the opportunity to work with zim dance hall legend Voltz JT on a campaign with The Marketing House for Rank Zimbabwe. The brief was to shoot a variety of lifestyle and school related images of Voltz JT using Rank Zimbabwe’s exercise and counter books. Have you seen or used the resulting exercise books at all? What do you think of the results?
Earlier this year I was in Kariba for a #hospitality shoot with Hornbill Lodge of their recent room renovations. Hornbill Lodge is perched high on one of Kariba's imposing lakeshore hills and so must have one of the best views of the lake in Kariba. Wouldn't you like to wake up in the morning to that sunrise view?
I have been working with KW Blasting for several years now, creating captivating images for their marketing and specifically social media presence. In that time I have visited many different sites were their operations are underway, from large mines to huge civil engineering projects. The fabulous design team at Marson Designs then weaves their creative wand to include KW Blastings’ signature branding colours into the images. What do you think of the results?
I was more than happy to make my return journey to the newly completed Hotel 258 in Harare late last year to shoot some fresh images of their rooms and common spaces as well as a few lifestyle pictures of people enjoying the facilities at the hotel. A few subtle soft furnishings had been updated so in addition to the lifestyle type shots I covered a few more of their awesomely styled rooms, making sure to capture some close detail in the rooms. As usual I had a productive and fun time with the client, what do you think of the results?
Every year I am lucky enough to be given the responsibility of shooting the images for Zimbabwe Platinum Mines’ annual report. Being the largest mining group in the country this generally means there is a lot to cover throughout their areas of operations, mining and community projects. It’s generally a hectic week of shooting but the results are always worth the effort! Below is a selection of excerpts from the report which you can find on the Zimplats website here.
I have been working closely recently with the dynamic team at RK Fuels to produce images of their fuel stations and staff for their website and social media channels. The brief involved showcasing the different RK stations around Harare and their energetic staff. I was lucky to have a few stunning sunsets at some of the locations which added the cherry on the cake of a successful shoot. What do you think of the results?
In August I was asked by the owners of Harare’s newest boutique accommodation, Hotel 258 to create some marketing material of their property for the grand opening. Being a city hotel the focus was mainly on the modern, fresh looking rooms, each with a unique design style and elements. All in all it was a fun shoot and I think the results speak for themselves! Be sure to give their Instagram page some love!
Earlier this year I was contracted by KW Blasting, Zimbabwe’s premier drilling and blasting company, to cover a variety of their drilling operations across the country. These images where to be used on their website and social media accounts so I was asked to cover all aspects of their on-site operations from machinery to staff working. The visual geniuses at Marson design then worked their social media skills with the images. Check out some of the results below.
Recently I was asked by the food maestros at the 3 Monkeys restaurant in Harare to photograph a selection of their dishes for their online marketing channels. I always say the only difficult issue with photographing food is constantly wanting to tuck in to it! Needless to say I think I managed to restrain myself long enough to capture some decent images.
I had an awesome time recently collaborating with The Marketing House shooting lifestyle images in the studio for their wholesale food client Winner Foods. The brief was to showcase Winner foods' large basket of goods being used in a real setting from the preparation and cooking to eating the final meal. It was a hectic but fun filled day of smiles and poses! What do you think of the results? The images where used in a variety of formats, from social media posts to large billboards around Harare. #commercialphotography #productphotography #foodphotography #marketingphotography #scottyphotography
