Commercial Photography FAQs

Yes. Based in Cape Town, I regularly travel across the Western Cape and South Africa, and take on select international assignments. Travel costs are quoted transparently upfront — no surprises.

Commercial shoots are usually booked 2–4 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. I do my best to accommodate urgent requests. Get in touch early with your brief and preferred dates.

Most commercial galleries are delivered within 3–10 working days. Larger campaigns may take a little longer. If you have a hard deadline for a launch or press release, flag it upfront.

Commercial, event, and brand photography — corporate portraits, product shots (studio and lifestyle), advertising imagery, hospitality and interior photography, and lifestyle business content.

In the rare event I'm unable to attend due to an emergency, I'll notify you immediately and help arrange a trusted replacement or reschedule — at no additional cost where possible.

Yes — team headshot sessions are one of the most requested commercial bookings. I set up a single consistent lighting setup on-site and photograph as many staff members as your schedule allows in a day, so everyone gets a matching, on-brand portrait for websites, LinkedIn and annual reports.

A pre-shoot consultation to confirm background and brand look, an on-site lighting setup, full professional retouching of every usable frame, and delivery in both high-resolution and social/LinkedIn-sized crops.

Yes. I've covered exhibition stands and conferences at the CTICC, including Mining Indaba, Big 5 Construct and Africa Automation Fair — stand visitors, product demos, keynote stages and networking moments across full multi-day events.

Yes, same-day delivery can be arranged for time-sensitive events such as a launch or press day — flag this when you enquire so editing time can be planned into the day.

Yes — agriculture and wine are one of the industries I regularly shoot, from vineyards and cellars to farm operations and estate hospitality, for marketing, annual reports and tourism use.

Yes. I've photographed industrial and manufacturing sites for corporate clients, covering production lines, facilities, plant and equipment, and teams at work — always working around your site's operational and access requirements.

Yes — medical and healthcare photography is one of my regular commissions, covering practices, clinics, staff portraits and facility imagery for websites and patient-facing materials.

Product sessions can be studio-based (clean backgrounds, controlled lighting) or lifestyle (products shown in real settings). I discuss usage — web, packaging, advertising — upfront so lighting and composition are shot to suit the final placement.

Yes — retail and brand photography covers stores, displays, staff, and product-in-context imagery for websites, social media and campaigns.

Yes. Tourism and hospitality photography — interiors, exteriors, guest experiences and staff — is one of my core commercial categories, shot to work well for websites and OTA listings.

Yes, and I offer commercial rates adapted for non-profit budgets on request — covering programmes, beneficiaries, events and staff for reports and donor materials.

Yes — fleet, warehousing, staff and operations photography for transport and logistics clients, used for websites, proposals and internal communications.

Multi-location days are quoted individually — I factor in travel time between sites so the day is planned realistically. Let me know your locations upfront and I'll build it into the quote.

Travel within Durbanville, Bellville, Brackenfell and Pinehurst is included at no extra cost. Stellenbosch, Paarl, the CBD and Blouberg carry a flat travel fee, with further Winelands and Southern Suburbs locations quoted individually — see the Rates page for the full breakdown.

Usage rights are agreed upfront based on how you'll use the images — website and social use is standard, and broader rights for print, advertising or paid media campaigns are quoted separately. This is confirmed in writing before the shoot.

Yes — this is quoted as an extended usage licence on top of the shoot fee, priced according to where and how long the campaign will run.

Yes, a second photographer is available for larger conferences, launches and multi-stream events where more than one angle or location needs to be covered simultaneously.

Yes — team building events, launches and conferences often run evenings or weekends, and I schedule around your event rather than standard business hours.

High-resolution JPGs for print and web use, plus social-media-sized crops optimised for LinkedIn, Instagram and other platforms — delivered together in the same gallery.

Via an online gallery link you can download from anywhere — no email attachments or physical handover needed, and the link stays live so you can re-download later if needed.

Every usable image from the shoot is professionally edited and colour-corrected — there's no cap on delivered images and no extra charge to unlock more of the gallery.

Yes — share your brand guidelines, mood board or reference images upfront and I'll shoot and edit to match your existing visual identity.

Yes, I'm happy to sign an NDA ahead of shoots involving unreleased products, confidential facilities or sensitive corporate information.

For internal use (website, reports, social media) this generally isn't required, but if imagery will be used in external advertising featuring identifiable people, I can provide release forms to have signed on the day.

Yes — I regularly work through agencies and PR companies as the on-site photographer for their client's brief, reporting to whichever contact you assign.

Yes — several corporate clients book me for recurring coverage (quarterly events, annual reports, refreshed headshots as staff change) rather than one-off shoots. Ask about a retainer arrangement if this suits your business.

Outdoor shoots are rescheduled at no extra cost if weather makes the images unusable — I'll always flag a weather risk in advance and suggest a backup date or indoor option where possible.

Photography is my main focus, though short video content such as behind-the-scenes clips or event highlights can be arranged alongside a shoot on request — ask when you enquire.

Yes — I take on select international assignments and regularly coordinate shoots remotely with overseas marketing teams via video call and digital briefs ahead of the shoot day.
