Even before the company started working with Vogue Spain five years ago, Freelink had always been a big fan.

"You don’t have to be a parent to appreciate the flair that Vogue Ninos puts into kids’ fashion, and you don’t have to be a wannabe bride to enjoy Vogue Novias’ novel approach to bridal wear."

The latest shoot was completed on a tight schedule, with three photographers and five stories shot over six days. But as clients know, Freelink has never shied away from a challenge, and thanks to its great crew, amazing talent and trusty weather, it was a challenge well met.

Over the last 15 exciting, unforgettable, and pushing-the-envelope years, Freelink has had the pleasure of working with some of the greatest talents and personalities in the business.

"At this milestone, it's only natural to do a mental retrospective of all the work we've helped facilitate since starting in this crazy, sun-chasing business," explains Executive Producer, Christine Le Clos.

“One name that keeps popping up - both as a prodigious talent and an outstanding human being - happens to be the very first photographer we ever worked with (and have continued to work with ever since). Eric Matheron-Balay, please take a bow."

Handling kids on a shoot is certainly not child's play, especially under the pressure of cameras, lights and highly-strung adults! Having a local production partner who has been around the 'kiddy blocks' and knows how to coax amazing images from potentially troublesome teens, or tots, certainly pays-off.

Through extensive experience, Freelink has developed a knack for anticipating childrens' individual needs, moods and personality quirks - keeping them focused and relaxed on even the most challenging of shoots.

The company's digital presentations are the easiest way to access thousands of young models covering every ethnic and cultural category imaginable.

"Perhaps it's the creative freedom or the extra commitment of all involved, but on a test shoot there's often a special moment when photographer, crew and model instantly click into one amazingly focused creative unit."

To help photographers capture that magic, Freelink will always bend over backwards, pull strings and call in its markers to get special favours and the best rates.

Featured in this Showcase are images from a test Freelink recently helped facilitate for visiting Danish photographer Karna Maffait.

Durban, Namibia or Mauritius might only be a short flight from Cape Town but they can seem worlds apart when it comes to shooting.

That's why Freelink has partnered up with local specialists in these exotic locations to offer clients the same level of service and support they've come to expect but in the most breath-taking new locations.

When Christine Le Clos revealed these developments during her annual European migration, the response from her clients was overwhelming.

"With these exciting new location options and a favourable exchange rate, things are shaping-up for a real bumper season," said Christine.

Christine Le Clos from Freelink has an interesting take on why her company has been having such a bumper season despite the current global slowdown.

"Our hard-snapping, hard-travelling location scouts have been amazing," Christine explains. "It's so gratifying when you land that plum job because you went the extra mile to find a special location that brings the whole shoot to life".

Christine has already started making appointments for her annual visit to Europe, where she'll reveal a host of new and exotic camera-friendly locations.
