If you’ve read the “About page”, you will know that ZaraZoo Photography was named after my feisty young daughter Zara. She’s one of a kind! Even though she’s only turining 4 in 2 months, she has already taken our whole household by storm. There can only be one boss… and that is Zara! She’s a free spirit with little interest in conforming to normality. If you visit us, you will probably find her dancing around in a fairy dress and singing a song that is totally made up! We love you Zoo!
Here are some images of Zara and her cousins Emily & Annabel on our recent holiday in Paris.

Robyn & Roirdyn loves our work, but we were already booked for their wedding date! What a loss! …because these two were great sports when we did a pre-wedding shoot with them in Cape Town.
Keep your eye on the blog over the next few days, we have a lot to follow; a few e-sessions in London and Paris as well as weddings in Blackpool, London, Liverpool and Cotswold! Enjoy!

Forget the rules – forget composition, rule of thirds and all the other bogwash…. The only rules for me are:
- To tell a story and;
- To provoke thought in my imagery!
I captured this image while doing a wedding shoot in London. This boy was not at all fussed by the big shiny red Ferrari he just passed. In contrast, almost all the grown men in the photo turn around to investigate.
No, its not my Ferrari…. But this picture is worth much more to me!

No, it’s not a miniature model of Gotham City… it’s a photo I took of London Docklands and Canary Wharf from a helicopter… It’s quite easy to create this miniature effect – Read the full post for a quick guide on how to let aerial photos look like miniature models (Tutorial at end of post).

Ever since an advertiser in our publication, Little Pink Book, invited us to his guest house in Bredasdorp, we have grown quite fond of this small town close to Cape Agulas (the most southerly tip of Africa).
In the space of 2 months, we have now spent 3 weekends in and around Bredasdorp and I am off to shoot a wedding there this coming weekend. The ceremony will be done in the magnificent NG Church in town and the reception will be held at Firlane House, the guest house I referred to in the top of this post.
I would like to say that Zoon Jacobs, the owner of Firlane House, is now a good friend of mine. He is also a very creative individual and a very inspiring entrepreneur. Apart from having an architectural practice, he also owns a gift shop, coffee shop and 2 guest houses in Bredasdorp.
So this coming weekend, apart from shooting the wedding, I will also do some shots of the restaurant, gift shop and guest houses. Here are a few photos I took this past weekend when Zoon invited us to celebrate a friends’ birthday party at Bredasdorp Square.

Before I did Lilian and Haydn’s E-session in the viaduct under the old Waterloo Eurostar Station in London, I went there to check the place out. Among these images, you will find some of the famous street artist Banksy.
The sad thing is that I went back there 2 months later and all of these amazing pieces of art below was destroyed by vandals! Our photos might be some of the only archives!

I thought it would be a good idea to get out of the airport and explore Dubai when I was in transit to London in July. My idea of Dubai was big towers and amazing architecture. Unforntunately they have a hazey kind of mist there in summer and this meant that visibility is very bad. I opted to explore the old town of Dubai instead. I was surprised in what I found!
