We recently had the opportunity to travel to Cape Town, South Africa for two weeks of shooting and exploration.\u00a0\u00a0 Shot tons of new stuff for the portfolios, visited a few ad agencies to show the work, did a quick assignment and lots of exploring. \u00a0 What a great trip! \u00a0 If you have never been to South Africa, I highly recommend it.\u00a0\u00a0 It is an amazing place.\u00a0\u00a0 South Africa is a place that is area that is unique unto itself… far off from the areas where you venture off on safaris.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The people are great and the landscapes are amazing.<\/p>\n

I think I’ve mentioned in the past that travel always stirs my creativity.\u00a0\u00a0 Nothing like going to far off places and exploring and shooting things that are different from your day to day life or surroundings.\u00a0\u00a0 Driving on the opposite side of the road with a stick shift on the wrong side of the car is always an adventure. \u00a0 Wandering around and finding penguins on Boulders Beach, \u00a0 Baboons wandering the streets by Misty Cliffs and South of the lighthouse in Kommetije. \u00a0 Watching the surfers paddle longboards in overhead swell at Surfer’s Corner in Muizenberg on the Indian Ocean. \u00a0 Finding 19th on Main in Kalk Bay and all you can eat curry… yum! \u00a0 Climbing Table Mountain and watching as the weather goes from amazing sunset to socked in white out in a matter of minutes leaving you in a place that feels more like Iceland than South Africa. \u00a0 A short drive outside of downtown Cape Town and you are in Stellenbosh, heart of SA’s wine country. \u00a0\u00a0 Just an amazing place full of diversity and many cultural influences.<\/p>\n

Much of what we shot on this trip were wide landscape shots along with elements to add in objects and people later primarily for stock and the portfolio.<\/p>\n

Here are a few teaser images of these places.\u00a0\u00a0 We will be adding in additional structural elements later to give a place to ground talent within the shots.<\/p>\n
