Chop chop...

I have been dealing with rumbling tummies again, this time on a delicious food shoot for Chop Chop restaurant. I love food photography shoots, and this one was no different! A constant stream of visually and olfactory pleasing dishes came streaming out of the Chop chop kitchen on the day and we managed to capture a variety of engaging and enticing images. The brief not only called for great images of the food but also images of people actually enjoying the food, its definitely delicious and it was that look and expression we wanted to capture and convey to the audience. Let me know how you think we did, can you look at the images without becoming immediately hungry!

Lifestyle images at Hotel 258...

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?

Zimplats 2024 Annual Report photography...

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.

Hotel 258...

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!

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.

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.

Delicious food at Azzurri...

Azzurri Pub and Grill offer some delicious food! I know this because I got to sample a lot of it while I was photographing their menu not so long ago. Azzurri not only wanted their dishes photographed but wanted to created some ambiance shots around their cocktails and dining out experience at the venue, so we used some friends to play the part of diners, and funnily enough they also loved the food! Which dish would you love to tuck into?

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!

Vibrant interiors in Harare's CBD...

Architecture is definitely one of my favourite photographic genres and so when I was commissioned by Office Design to photograph their amazing new multi-purpose office space for Old Mutual Zimbabwe I was naturally thrilled. The concept of the shared working space is not new to the corporate world, but it is new to Harare and the team behind the design and implementation of the project have certainly created a world standard product. My brief was to showcase the project as a whole with wide angle shots and then focus in on some of the intricate design details. Check out some of the vibrant results below.
