“2 Productions… always picture perfect! Now 14 years down the line and over 500 shoots already completed; you are in very capable and experienced hands.”

Just about anything is possible in Cape town, with nine of the 12 climate types in and around one city; eight months of great weather; very minimal time difference to Europe; one of the leading film infrastructures in the world; and a currency that is weaker than it has been in five years.

Cape Town is the place to do your shoots.

Rockside Productions is a small production company that focuses on true quality, fully committed to making clients feel satisfied on all levels of production, even extending to after-hours.

The company's director / owner has over 15 years of experience as a photographer and understands what top quality is all about. Superb connections with local lighting rentals, set builders, prop hires, model agencies, stylists and countless other professionals needed to guarantee the most successful production mean that clients can sit back and relax while Rockside handles all preparations and organises everything from A to Z in Cape Town.

The OGY (Oldgoodsyard) is Rockside's base and consists of a location / daylight studio with a 1950s style American trailer and a workshop with corrugated walls, neatly settled beside the train tracks guiding the way from Observatory into the bustling City Centre. Observatory is a well-known creative hub in Cape Town that never fails to impress with its high energy, vibrant cafēs and enthralling façades.

Quite the Euro jet-setter, Linn Flammier was born in Norway, grew up between Oslo and France, lived and worked in Scotland, spent several years in Barcelona and is now based between Oslo and Cape Town. And yes, she speaks the five languages fluently!

Linn’s photographic style can be described as high-end lifestyle mixed with a bit of fashion. Many of her images feel like stills from films - people often say they are reminded of Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’.

Visit her website to take a look at the rest of her portfolio.

Ending off the season in Cape Town, Stephen Greeff shot a lifestyle spot for a new campaign for German brand 4u. He shot another film and stills project for Avon cosmetics as well as work for Green Cross shoes.

Of his recent personal work, Stephen says: “I chose to shoot Greg Visagie, a real surfer and industrial design student. I caught up with him on the west coast of South Africa, just before Eilands Bay on a private campsite where Greg spends his weekends with his girlfrined Reine. I wanted to use 'real people' in this shoot to capture the authenticity."

His next shoot will be a short documentary film and still shoot on local Cape Town parkour runner Kenji for Fast Break bags.

With the worldwide GUESS holiday accessories campaign under her belt, South African beauty, Nicole Meyer, has recently left local shores to pursue exciting opportunities abroad.
