Modern architecture with APS...

I have been working with Harare’s Architectural Planning Services for many many years now and I am always excited to get a call from them when a newly completed project is ready to be photographed. This was no exception when I got the call a few moths ago to photograph a newly completed private residence in one of Harares’ more hilly areas. Perched on the top of a rise with stunning views into the surrounding Msasa tress and valleys this modern take on a tuscan style home takes full advantage of the stunning views that surround it. You can read more about and see more of my images on the APS website as well as the images below, as usual I would love to hear your thoughts on the results!

Drilling down on KW Blasting..

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.

Architecture all over...

I am very lucky to be able to do a lot of architecture photography around Harare and Zimbabwe as well. One of my regular clients are the awesome Architectural Planning Studio who I have worked with for ages. APS always have a variety of projects on the go, from residential refurbs to commercial food outlets, housing developments, large scale projects and even hospitals! Check out some of the most recent work I have done for them, with the usual variety in scope and size! Also be sure to check out their services as well as my past work for them on their website here.

N1 Hotel Victoria Falls

In early December I was contracted by the N1 Hotel in Vic Falls to photograph their newly renovated rooms and public areas. Being early December the weather plays a constant stress factor but thankful it behaved and blue skies prevailed, allowing me to create some great images! Please see a small selection below, do let me know what you think!

Bespoke furniture by Elite Interiors...

I have been working with the talented bespoke furniture creators at Elite Interiors for quite a few years now and so I was obviously more than happy to help them photograph their new range of furniture earlier this year. Normally the furniture is brought into my studio to be photographed, this time however I went to their bustling factory with my portable backdrop and studio equipment to shoot on site. Who wouldn’t want any of these amazing pieces of furniture in their home?

Electrosales Chiredzi

I have been working closely with Electrosales Hardware this year and was recently tasked with photographing their branch in Chiredzi for their website and marketing activities. The brief was to capture general shots of the store as well as staff doing their thing, and I think the pictures speak for themselves!

Power to the Shoe

I bought a new pair of shoes recently, and of course being the diehard photographer that I am I couldn’t miss the opportunity to photograph the shoes in my studio! I wanted to show off the great detail on the bottom of the shoes and so used some raking light from quite an acute angle to emphasise the shape and texture. Once I was happy with the lighting on the shoe I shot the shoe on black and then used a variety of gels on the background to create a pop of colour. Which one is your favourite?

New store for Nandos...

I have been lucky enough to have photographed all the stores for Nandos Zimbabwe in the past, so when they opened a new branch in Gweru, Zimbabwe I was asked to pack my bags and head out to do my thing. The brief was to capture all the different design elements in the brand new store at night as well as during the day. The images had to showcase the every angle of the store, without any people in the images so I had to work around the stores trading hours. This meant late nights and early mornings, but as I am sure you will agree the effort certainly yielded the results!

Garfunkels Grill...

I was approached by Garfunkels in 2018 to help create a variety of food and lifestyle images to promote their restaurants in Harare, the Garfunkels Grill and their takeaway business. Naturally I am always happy photographing food, even if it means I am drooling for several hours in a row! Check out some of the delicious results below.

In addition to the food photography I was also tasked with creating some lifestyle pics of their staff at work in the restaurant as well as some staged images of guests having a great time. We shot in both venues to get a variety of different shots, don’t you love the beaming smile on the Pizza makers face?

The campaign would have been incomplete without some great exterior and interior shots of the restaurant spaces, so a good amount of time was spent shooting at different times of the day to get the best results possible.

Focusing on Food...

Food is certainly a large part of the overall experience that we have come to expect from modern travel and so a large part of my job when photographing hotels and safari lodges is to showcase the amazing food on offer. So when Zimbabwean hotel giant Rainbow Tourism Group wanted to showcase some of the premier dishes available at their hotels I was all too happy to rise to the occasion. I would like to let the food do all the talking here, so below are some of the delicious results...
