Fashion photography 101

Shoot 1

This was such an amazing experience, so I came to South Africa to work on a few shoots with my girl, Gcebile Matsimbe (fashion blogger and photographer).
We had so many things in mind and it was so refreshing just brainstorming, trying to get the right mood across.
I could add this to the Fashion vs Nature project as most of the shoots were done outside.
Will be sharing them with you, just for you to have a look inside the minds of fashion bloggers/photographers and just people who love fashion.

The first shoot is at a horse stable at West Lake estate.

Quick tip
This dress is suitable for an hourglass, pear shaped, rectangular and inverted-triangular shaped figure. It's such a busy pattern, so an apple-shaped could get away with this dress too.

My experience
This was a very relaxed experience, think it's because I did it with a friend and the surroundings were pretty relaxed, except for the deer that kept following us around, so half of the photos included him, but we were able to make this work out. This was beautiful and I loved just being comfortable and this was what we were aiming for.

Fashion vs Nature

Day 6



This was the longest drive ever...
I'm in Swakopmund at the moment.
Don't know how I managed to do this shoot, but it happened.

The reason I chose this dress was that it was perfect, knowing that I'll be climbing some dunes. 
It was light and did not absorb any heat, so it was great for this setting

Jewellery by NamCrafts
Location: The Delight (Gondwana collection)
                Namib Desert, Swakopmund 



Quick tip
This dress suits all body types. Everything you think you can possibly hide, can be hidden with this dress.
It's comfortable and flattering. You can wear it anywhere and just accessorize it to suit the occasion.

My experience
This shoot was so chilled. The sun wasn't blazing, so there wasn't any setbacks. 
The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing.
Everyone who comes to the coast, leaves rejuvenated and that was just what it was.
