How we work

01

Look

We start where bookings are leaking today: tracking, visibility, channel mix and conversion.

02

Fix and build

The few changes that matter most come first. New campaigns, content and set-up where it earns the most.

03

Measure

Monthly reporting in plain language, tied to bookings rather than clicks.

Questions

About Photography and video.

Do you shoot internationally or only in South Africa?

Both. Our team is based in Cape Town and we regularly shoot across Southern and East Africa. Travel and accommodation on top of the shoot fee.

What does a typical lodge shoot cover?

Two to three days on site is normal: rooms and suites in the right light, lifestyle moments at breakfast and sundowners, game drives, dining and the setting. We work from a shot list agreed before we travel.

Can you shoot both stills and video on the same trip?

Yes, and most lodges do. One trip, one brief, with photo and video output edited for your website, OTAs and social.

Who owns the images and footage?

You do, with full usage rights for your website, ads and the OTAs you distribute through. We ask only to use selected frames in our own portfolio.

Can you cut existing footage into social content?

Yes. If you already have a library, we can grade, cut and caption short-form Reels and vertical ads from it without a new shoot.

Photography and video works well with Social and SEO, or a website rebuild that takes the booking.
