Finding the Perfect Photo Shoot Location in Cape Town

Cape Town is ranked among the top locations in the world for photo shoots and tourist holidays, world-renowned for its beautiful landscapes and scenery. From historical wine farms filled with culture and stunning settings to awe-inspiring beaches and coastal drives, Cape Town offers the full range of settings for any successful photo shoot.

Keeping the art in photography

Situated at the tip of Africa, Cape Town is one of the world’s most beautiful gems and holds many still-undiscovered location opportunities for up-and-coming photographers - even for experienced photographers out there who think they’ve seen it all.

This is the land of sea and sun and picturesque photo shoots. Perfect for fashion and commercial photographers, the Cape Town location offers a diverse and unique range of options for film productions and stills photographers.

Sunny, clear skies during summer and dark, moody clouds during some winter days mean that a wide range of tones and moods for a creative photo shoot can be achieved.

There are many creative settings in Cape Town that are rich in the culture and history of a conflict-weathered country, such as the quirky, old school architecture of the Bo Kaap, the colourful adornment of the shacks and shebeens in the buzzing townships or the stately colonial mansions still standing from the days of Simon van der Stel, establisher of the Groot Constantia wine estate in the 1600’s.

Options for location scouts

Whether it be the thickly wooded Cecilia forests in Newlands or Tokai, or the trendy chique of sunny Camps Bay with breezy palm trees dotted along its coastal road, location scouts have a plethora of options for unique photo shoots.

Picturesque settings like Table Mountain, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and the magical Cape Winelands a little further afield, are testimony to the fact that Cape Town has a wealth of beauty, passion and diverse scenery to choose from for a successful photo shoot.

Cape Town has some of the world’s most stunning beaches with their long stretches of soft, sparkling white sand and clear azure waters. Small wonder there are so many beautiful, tanned advert models available to professional photographers in this neck of the country.
