Commercial Property Media in Johannesburg.

Photography, video and drone for commercial landlords, industrial brokers, and hospitality groups. We work off the leasing brochure and the yield story — clean stills of the entrance and reception, a walk-through of typical floors, a drone plate of the parking, and a tenanted-look image set that supports asking rent.

Commercial Property Media in Johannesburg — how we work locally

Johannesburg commercial property media covers the Sandton, Rosebank, Bryanston and Waterfall office nodes, the Fourways and Melrose retail belts, and the industrial belts of City Deep, Jet Park, Longmeadow and Kya Sand. Sandton office shoots need building management sign-off for photography in common areas and drone flight sign-off from the airspace desk given the Lanseria proximity. Industrial and logistics parks in Jet Park and Longmeadow shoot fast in the winter mornings when the Highveld light is even. Retail centres in Fourways and Sandton City schedule around trading hours; empty-centre shots need a 05:30 call time. Corporate campus work at Waterfall or Sandton Central often needs a POPIA-compliant staff-consent process before we shoot anyone in-frame.

On-site rhythm

Every Johannesburg shoot is planned around light, wind and load-shedding — we brief the schedule the night before and confirm the call time with the agent or homeowner.

Tenanted-look and NDA work

Office landlords rarely want to advertise 'currently vacant on floor 4' — the shots need to read tenanted whether the desks are occupied or not. We bring props where the brief calls for it: laptops, coffee cups, plants, a jacket on the back of a chair — enough to make the space feel used, never so much that it stages a business that does not exist. On active-tenant floors we shoot after hours or on Saturday mornings and blur any incidental person in the frame under POPIA. NDA cover is standard: we countersign the landlord or broker's agreement before the shoot and treat every file as commercial-sensitive.

Retail centre coverage

Retail centre mandates — Fourways Mall, Blue Route Mall, Table Bay Mall, a strip centre in Bryanston or Constantia Village — need footfall reads and tenant-mix reads. We shoot during trading hours from angles that show the anchor tenants and the pause seating, and we schedule the empty-centre shots for early morning before opening so the finish and the flooring read cleanly. Drone context of the parking and the arterial access matters for the leasing brochure, and we work with centre management on filming permissions and shopper consent under POPIA.

Delivery, licensing and archive

Every commercial shoot ships as a white-labelled folder — no TimeSake branding — with a naming convention aligned to the leasing brochure so the broker can drag any frame straight into a proposal. Licensing runs for 36 months across leasing marketing, the landlord's website, PropTech portals like MSCI or Broll's listing site, and any paid campaign. The raw files stay on our archive for three years, which is roughly two leasing cycles for the average commercial mandate. Where the shoot is confidential — sold-under-terms or under offer — we cold-storage the files until the deal falls out of confidentiality and then release the archive for landlord use.
