SEcond Shooter

Riekert Cloete 2d shooter 7

What is included?

Providing a second perspective on the day the second shooter is extremely valuable.  

I have a few photographers that I work with on regular basis.
They will be an extension of me covering moments and angles that I might miss. We try not to duplicate lenses and  angles to provide the widest variety possible. They have all shot with me a few years now and all the images on this page were taken by one of them.

Rates differ according to the shooters that are available and also the coverage and travel costs for the second shooter. 
Rates my vary between R4000 and R 15 000

6 Reasons to get a second shooter

1. Ninjas

Ninjas can be in two places at the same time. A second photographer gives you this power as well For Example Bride and groom are very far apart and time is limited and we forgot the Star trek teleporter at home.

2. Eye like the hawk (Bravestar)

It's wonderful to have two different angles/perspectives on the same event.

3. Free at Last!

Part of my job is to manage all the role players in this day. So although I am taking photos 90% of the time I sometimes need to organize/help/attend/talk to different  parties. My second shooter can freestyle and shoot what he/she sees all the time. Very applicable during cocktail hour!

4. Big picture vs. Details

Yes, I will get everything, but my time is limited. It's nice to hand a “section” of the day to my second shooter Example: the bride's perfume, shoes, jewelry etc. It frees me up to get the real moments

5. Mission impossible

I can instruct my second shooter to focus on kids. (if there are a lot around and it important to the couple.

6. SNIPER

While I am busy with the formals my second shooter can get really close with a Zoom lens and shoot paparazzi style.
