Our Winelands Anniversary

It’s been a year since we moved from Johannesburg to the magnificent Western Cape Winelands and we feel so privileged to live and work here, especially when we get to film and photograph breath-taking properties, including farms, lifestyle developments, homes and historical buildings. Shooting property is one of our specialties, in part because Dave and I both certified as estate agents years ago, so we understand the requirements and have insight into what works to highlight key features of properties.

We love this work as it draws on a number of our core skills, including my diploma in interior decorating, which contributes to shooting interiors, and Dave’s extensive experience and skill as a licensed aerial drone pilot. In addition to recently filming and photographing the various buildings and vineyards on a beautiful wine farm, he captured a stunning time lapse sequence of the sunset from a spectacular vantage point. Here are a few behind the scenes pics to give you an idea of what we did:

Our interior and exterior, aerial and ground based images and video combine powerfully to create compelling portfolios that assist owners in showcasing their properties and promoting their associated businesses and services, or else support the sales objectives of appointed estate agents. Depending on the specific purpose of each shoot, the content can be enhanced with our product and lifestyle photography and videography too, shot strategically in our studio or on location in enchanting settings.

We’re also passionate about crafting impactful promo videos that leverage top quality, evocative content with captivating scripting and professional voice overs that convey the essence of our clients’ vision and message, while effectively demonstrating what they deliver, because ‘showing’ prospective customers what you do is so much more meaningful than ‘telling’ them. Contact us today if you’d like a no-obligation conversation to explore inspiring ideas to showcase your business or property.

Special shoutout and thanks to all our clients and associates who’ve contributed to our successful business transition to the Winelands, and to our wonderful family and friends for all they’ve done to help us establish our new home here!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year and everything of the best to you and yours for a fantastic 2023. May it bring all that you wish for and more!

Looking back, we spent most of last year planning, packing and re-positioning our company and ourselves in the Western Cape Winelands, which must be one of the most beautiful regions in South Africa. It’s also close enough to Cape Town to enjoy the excitement of the Mother City and the ocean, which we had the pleasure of experiencing recently on a windy sunset cruise.

More specifically, we’re living on a gorgeous farm just outside Stellenbosch which is surrounded by mountains, vineyards, rivers and a very different culture to Johannesburg in many ways, most of them being positive, relaxing, friendly and welcoming.

Almost synchronistically, we’ve settled into a new studio in the visionary Devonbosch business and residential development which is less than 3km from our front door, so zero traffic and less than 5 minutes to the studio. It’s amazing how the Universe provides when you follow your instincts and commit to a goal. Thank you Universe! Here’s an aerial pic of our studio building to help you get your bearings if you visit us here, which you’re welcome to do. We’d love to discuss ideas for your photo and video portfolio!

Outdoor Video and Photographic has already established an amazing network of new clients and we’re sincerely grateful for their support and friendship, as well as that of all our long-standing clients, associates, family and friends. Thank you all! So, going into the new year we’re filled with enthusiasm, passion for what we do best and knowing that the more effort we put in the better our results will be in exceeding both our and our clients’ expectations, and the more value we will collectively contribute.

In the meantime, we wish you wonderful success and peace of mind as we head into 2023. Let’s make it count!

Welcome to our New Studio

How has the first half of 2022 treated you? We hope it’s been meaningful, happy and successful. Here at Outdoor Video & Photographic, epic change has been underway, as we’ve moved our home and business from Johannesburg to Devon Valley near Stellenbosch. Having lived for 25 years in the same house, which included our home-based studio, we completely underestimated the upheaval associated with moving cities. It’s been a challenging time, but also filled with adventure.

We’re now living on a beautiful olive farm and are delighted to say that our brand new studio, just down the hill from the farm, is open and ready to make magic with you in the Devonbosch development on Bottelary Road. One of the first shoots we’ve done here was to capture the launch of Goodness Grows, the village store at Devonbosch. Take a look at our short video that shares the flavour of the event, with a captivating backing track by the talented musician Forest, who played live at the launch:

We’ve also photographed our first clients at Studio 01C, Devonbosch, where we’d love to welcome you too! At the top of this post and below are two pics of our studio, which offers plenty of creative options for personal, product and promotional photo and video shoots. We can also combine this with location and aerial photography and filming as you can see in the video above.

Of course, we’re still serving our valued clients in Johannesburg and around the country, so have been frequently flying for photo and video shoots as well. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss how we can help you to promote your business with compelling photos and videos that showcase you and your work. We’d love to assist!
