Mark Lanning Photography   Cape Town advertising photographers

Mark Lanning by Thomas Falkiner:

"Whenever I think of awesome photographs I think of a man with funky locks and bristling facial hair. His name is Mark Lanning and he is perhaps one of the easiest photographers I have ever come across. For whereas most men of the lens won't show you the light of day until you a) pay them exorbitant amounts of money and/or b) massage their egos until they're sitting in a warm and sticky puddle of their own self-worth, Mark is as easy and as chilled-out as a surfer running high on green. Funny that, because some say he harks from the shores of Durban. Coincidence?

"Anyway, speculation aside, never have I worked alongside a more innovative or, indeed, spontaneous lens man in all my days. From long nights of drinking followed by painful morning rises endured only to capture that one perfect car shot, Mark puts the can into do."

Shawn Driman Photography   Cape Town food & drink photographers

"Over the years, I have found the road of my career makes jinks and turns and ups and downs, and at each movement something fundamental changes." says Shawn Driman, multi award-winning photographer and a pioneer in the digital photographic world.

"This year started with a tremendous flourish, and the momentum has raised my personal bar higher than ever before. Especially when photographing food, when I start to light, something happens inside me. It is so powerful, more than just me and my system. All my clients have noticed and commented on this."
