Shooting the south - from waves to walls

Welcome to Shoot south

I’m Sam, a professional photographer in Cape Town, South Africa with a passion for capturing moments, places, and products that tell compelling stories.

WHAT I OFFER

WATERSPORT

From adrenaline-fueled surf sessions to serene paddleboarding at sunrise, I capture the energy, emotion, and raw beauty of life on the water. Whether you’re an athlete, brand, or event organiser, my water sport photography freezes those fleeting, action-packed moments.

REAL ESTATE

Property photography isn’t just about pictures, it’s about creating a sense of place and aspiration. I work with real estate agents, architects, property developers, interior designers, construction companies and homeowners to produce crisp, inviting images that highlight a property’s best features, increase engagement, and help your property or project stand out in a competitive market.

LIFESTYLE

Tell your story through natural, candid imagery. Whether it’s a brand shoot, personal portrait session, or behind-the-scenes look at your everyday life. Real moments with genuine emotion. Perfect for business owners, artisans, makers, entrepreneurs, and brands wanting authentic visuals that connect on a human level.

PRODUCTS

Accurate images of your products are your first impression. Clients want to get what they see online. Clean, vibrant, and impactful visuals for e-commerce, marketing campaigns, and social media. Every shot is styled and lit to reflect your brand’s identity and connect with your audience.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I started with a passion for capturing the memories and moments around me over 10 years ago, not knowing where it would lead me.

While being successful in the action watersports industries for many years, having worked for numerous international brands, companies and magazines, I have begun to bring my skills and techniques into other areas of photography.

Producing high-quality, true-to-life style images that are classic, clean and timeless, that will tell your story for many years to come.
