Interior & Trade Photography in De Waterkant, Cape Town.
De Waterkant — Cape Malay quarter turned cobbled boutique village. Portfolio photography and short-form video for interior designers, architects, kitchen and bathroom installers, joiners, stone suppliers, bulkhead and ceiling specialists, landscapers and exterior contractors. Shot to show craft — the join, the reveal, the edge detail — not just the room.

Short-form video for the trade feed
Installers and designers live on Instagram and increasingly on TikTok, where a well-shot 20-second detail reel outperforms a carousel every time. We shoot the same job for stills and vertical video in one visit: a slow slide across the finished worktop, a rack focus onto a joint, a hand opening a soft-close drawer, the before-and-after cut from shell to finish where site photos exist. Clips are graded to match the stills, cut in 9:16, captioned, and delivered as separate files so a marketer can schedule a month of content from one shoot rather than posting the whole shoot in a week.
The set is built around the craft, not the room
Every trade shoot starts with one question: what did you make here, and what should someone notice about it? On a kitchen that might be the handleless door alignment, the waterfall end on the island and the shadow-line plinth. On a bathroom it is the tile setting-out, the niche, the brassware finish and the way the shower screen meets the floor. On a bulkhead or ceiling job it is the shadow gap, the crisp return and the lighting pattern the detail was designed to hold. We shoot each of those as a deliberate frame — square-on, correctly lit, with the line of the detail carrying across the image — alongside the wide context frames. The result is a portfolio a specifier can read, not a set of pretty rooms with your name attached.
