Lifestyle images for Winner Foods...

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

Zimplats Annual Reports...

I have been lucky enough to work with Zimbabwe Platinum Mines over the past 5 years creating images for their Annual reports and yearly marketing campaigns. My scope of work typically covers all of their operations above and below ground as well as their varied CSR projects close to the mine and around the country. There is always lots to cover so the days are long but inevitably rewarding! You can check out some of the results below as well as find all the annual reports on Zimplats website here.

Chewore Lodge...

I was very lucky to be engaged by Chewore Lodge at the end of 2020 to photography their newly refurbished camp along the banks of the Zambezi River. It was a hectic 3 days of 4am starts and late nights, as you may well know its all about the right light!

We covered all aspects fo the lodge from the main boma area and fire pit to the rooms and food, some aerial images helped nicely to pout the lodges location right on the banks of the mighty Zambezi river into perspective.

Africa University...

Africa University is one of Zimbabwe’s premier Universities that caters to students from all over Africa. Set in the rolling hills just outside Zimbabwe’s Eastern city of Mutare, the campus grounds lend themselves well to being photographed!

Despite COVID-19’s disruptive effect over the past years, the University was keen to showcase all the facilities they have on offer, even while most of its students where learning at home.

I was asked ny the communications department at the University to help showcase the Uni’s physical and academic facilities as well as do some ‘mock up’ shots of students learning in the various departments.

Zimplats

I have been working closely with the communications team at Zimplats over the past few years creating content for a number of their marketing and online platforms. Earlier this year I was tasked with photographing their mining operations and CSR projects for their 2020 integrated annual report. The brief was centred around Zimplats core institutional values; the mining process, employees, shareholders and the community around the theme “we respect, we care, we deliver”. The scale of the Zimplats operations meant that I was never far away from some stunning visual opportunities and I am thrilled with the results!

Creating a buzz for social media with Halsteds...

I have been working with the amazing team at Halsteds for many years and recently I helped them create some images in their stores that will be used on their social media platforms. We shot images in all areas of the store, from general shopping in the aisles to hardware and bathroom fittings and created a substantial range of images. Check out some of the results below!

Dr Trouble is back again...

Anyone who has been following this blog over the years should by now know at least 2 things about me; that I love chilli sauce and that I love Dr Trouble’s Chilli sauce more than most! I have been lucky to shoot product shots for the masterminds behind the sauce since the beginning, and I am always thrilled when I get another opportunity to shoot their quality products in the studio. Earlier this year I was tasked with capturing their new, limited edition packaging as well as a few more product shots to illustrate how many lemons are crammed into each bottle of deliciousness. If you are a fan of chilli, check out the food porn below!

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?

Modern interiors with Rainbow Tourism...

I am lucky enough to do a lot of work with one of Zimbabwe’s eminent tourism operators Rainbow Tourism Group and I recently spent a morning photographing their new room renovations at one of their leading city hotels. Which one is your favourite design?

Burnt Earth Designs...

I had such a fun time with Burnt Earth Designs recently! They manufacture bespoke clay mosaics in Harare. The sheer creativity and devotion that goes into each ceramic piece is amazing, and the results are breathtaking! I was lucky enough to get to photograph a variety of Burnt Earth installations recently, and you can see for yourself how stunning they are below.

Now these amazing installations would not be possible without being able to implement that creative vision in the workshop. Each piece is hand made from scratch by a small, talented team in their Harare worksop.

Possibly even more impressive than the team at the workshop is the team at the studio who make the ceramic pots, cups and cutlery using a potters wheel. The skill, practice and patience required to create the beautiful results is a pleasure to watch!
