Gizelle and Raiden | Matric Farewell | Gold Reef City

Raiden and Gizelle’s matric farewell shoot was fun-filled and so colourful! Just love playing with smoke grenades!

Raiden and Gizelle’s matric farewell was such a fun-filled and colourful day! And wow, Gizelle you looked absolutely stunning! And I just loved Raiden’s white suit and they truly complimented each other so well!

My new favourite toy is smoke grenades! I must say, it looks easy using a smoke grenade in the photos, but it gets interesting when the wind doesn’t play along. We did the creative shoot at Gold Reef City and I knew I couldn’t use the smoke grenades over there, so we did the smoke grenade photos at Greenfields Guest House in Alberton, on their little stoep on the roof. And here the wind sort-off twirled in many directions. The one moment its blowing in your face and then next moment it comes from behind…but hey…we got seriously cool results, and luckily we had 2 smoke grenades to play with!

At the end of the day I did a few fashion shots with Gizelle and geapers….she is amazing in front of camera! Just look at the results! I must say my Godox AD200 with softbox helped a lot. I also used my Godox AD200 flash with Magnetmod Grid with 1/2 CTO gel when we did the creative shoot at Gold Reef City!

Gizelle’s makeup was done by Pretty Little Things!

A sneakpeak of the matric farewell photos I did today and OH BOY! I love them!

Teaser! Matric Farewell 2019 | Morrells and H/s Linden

Wow, I had fun with these young adults! Corlé de Villiers asked me to capture some memories for daughter, Menine, for her Matric Farewell. She booked a slot at Morrells for beautiful venue photos and pics with the family and Menine and her friends arranged for us to take pictures at their school H/s Linden, Johannesburg.

I brought along 2 smoke grenades (purple and orange) as a little gift and I must say those pictures came out amazing! I just love the emotion in them…..I almost felt like screaming “FREEDOOOOOM” when they shouted and jumped…and the orange smoke grenade definitely burnt longer than 90seconds. It was almost like it would never stop.

Oh yes, the pictures where they are standing on a table…welll…that is the desk of the vice principal at H/s Linden. He must be the coolest teacher on the planet. He said they can do whatever they want…”you can even stand on my desk if you want” and they did…!

Here’s a sneakpeak of 80+ photos because I know people these days want to Instagram almost immediately what they looked like…and I want my clients to Instagram my photos…heheh!

Princes & Princesses do exist {Matric Farewell shoot}

The Matric Farewell shoot I did recently are on the blog! Linden, Gauteng

Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates. Kate Angell

I know the Schutte family well, and it was a massive privilege to capture Pierre's Matric Farewell photos! Such a huge honor. I am involved with the youth at our church and I have seen how the kids grow into young adults, and then in a blink of an eye they become adults!

Wow, it's amazing how young people can change into adults in front of your eyes when they dress for a Matric Farewell. They are not kids anymore, they are confident, beautiful young people and they rocked their exquisite dresses and suits for this shoot! I loved every minute of this shoot!

My expectations were to photograph the Schnakenberg triplets (two girls and a boy) with their dates, where Pierre was the date of Theresa, what I didn't know is that Heinrich (the boy of the triplets) is Ingrid's date, whom I also know from church! Amazing. She wore an amazing red Casper Designer Wear dress. And Renate and Theresa's mom Retha made the their beautiful dresses!

I did the shoot in Linden, Gauteng at the Schnackenberg's house, in their amazing garden!

Enjoy the pictures and please leave a comment at the end!
