I had the privilege to do some product photography for a household name here in Cape Town - Creative Cuisine Pantry. For the past 15 years Creative Cuisine Pantry has been at the forefront of the food industry in developing high quality products, from salad dressings to condiments and bottled salads. Gourmet products to assist the consumer to make gourmet meals for friends and family by simply opening a bottle or a jar.
This time around we went to the factory, set up studio there and did the whole range of products. The Fatsak, Pupsak, Flipsak… all of them. We had a lot of fun shooting these and I just wished I could fit one into my camera bag ;-) I can really recommend a Fatsak to chill/sit/sleep on. Produced in Cape Town according to an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process and fair working conditions for its employees, FatSak rapidly became a modern home must-have.
Here I’ve just posted all the different products from the one material.
As I state on my “about” section of my website…no job is too big or too small… or in this case..too “strange” Think I’ve managed to make some cleaning products look pretty good in these few shots.
Had a fun shoot in studio with Ubuntu Traditional Balms. The legacy of Ubuntu Traditional Balms started in a humble and small family owned pharmacy in 1948. The famous community pharmacy
served her community well and the chemist formulated the balms to the patient's needs. The balms gained popularity and it proved to work for all the ailments.
I had to do a shoot for Mia Crous, a young very talented hairdresser from Durbanville. Basically the competition is held every year, and every year there is a different theme. This year the theme was “80’s” You have to cut, dye and style the models hair, and come up with a costume to fit with the theme. This was yet again an awesome project for me to capture in studio.
Simorne contacted me for a special kind of shoot…a birthday shoot she wanted to do for herself for her 30th birthday. She actually joined me, on her birthday in studio. Was so much fun to do a shoot with her and just have a lot of fun and laughs.
This was such a nice product shoot for me, the owner and creator gave me creative license for the photos of her proudly South African rooibos products. Marice specializes in making high quality soap from organic Rooibos and other essential oils. She is situated in the heart of Rooibos world, Clanwilliam. All soaps and products are hand made.
So I'm busy flexing my creative muscles with some watch photography for Matt Arend Timepieces. My client was looking for a different approach for his watches and I think I did pretty well if I had to say so myself. It's quite a challenge working with a product in macro, you can see the slightest little dust particle or finger print on the product. Just love some of the creative shots.
Did some photography for the Absolute Pets online store. I was totally in awe of the amazing products they have for pets these days! Such practical products....the whole time while I was shooting, I was thinking to myself "why didn't I think of that"?! The Olly & Max catch-it-all bowls has a silicon base with a stainless steel bowl in the middle. The bowls are perfect for those messy eaters as it is easy to wash and clean. Then my personal favourite is the The Olly & Max foldable travel bottle for dogs and cats- exactly what you need when you go out with your pet for a walk or do some traveling.
