Whether you need a commissioned series for an architectural brief, a licensed image for an editorial feature, or simply want to discuss the terrain and conditions of a shoot, I'm available for projects across South Africa. Tell me about the location, the timeline, and what you're trying to document, and I'll get back to you with practical notes on feasibility and approach.
The studio operates from a quiet base in Samanthamouth, with most of the fieldwork happening along the coast and inland routes. If you are planning to visit for a portfolio review, a licensing meeting, or to discuss a commission, the space is easy to reach by car and about twenty minutes from the main highway.
Parking is available directly in front of the building. When you arrive, call ahead so someone can meet you at the entrance, since the door is not always staffed during outdoor shoots.
Emails are checked daily, and most enquiries get a reply within two working days. If you are writing about a specific commission, include the location, the intended use of the images, and your rough timeline. That context helps with a more useful first response about feasibility, permits, and scheduling.
A short description of the terrain, the intended use of the images, and the timeline helps me prepare a realistic flight plan and a postproduction workflow that fits the project.
I usually reply within two working days. For licensed archive requests, include the intended publication and circulation so I can confirm availability and usage terms.
Whether you are commissioning an aerial essay for a development proposal, need licensed archive footage for an editorial, or simply want to discuss a terrain you have in mind, the studio is open to new work. Replies usually go out within two working days, and every enquiry is read personally.
For flight requests, please include the location, the intended use of the images, and your rough timeline. That context helps in preparing a realistic response about permits, weather windows, and the right equipment for the job.

The studio operates from this base for planning, editing, and archive management. Field work takes place across South Africa, with most assignments concentrated in the Western and Northern Cape.
Calls are best between 09:00 and 17:00. If the line is busy, it usually means a flight window opened up unexpectedly. Leave a message with your number and the studio will call back.
Email is the preferred channel for detailed briefs and licensing questions. Attach reference images or site plans if you have them; they make the first conversation far more productive.
Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00
Weekends are reserved for shooting and editing, so responses may be slower. During active field projects, the studio can be out of contact for a day or two at a time.
After an initial enquiry, the studio sends a short brief covering flight feasibility, permit requirements for the area, and a proposed shooting schedule. Archive and licensing requests are usually confirmed within a week, depending on the volume of material to review.
