Come August / September each year, and everybody in South Africa, and many people around the world know that one of the biggest spectacles in Nature is about to happen: it’s the transformation of an arid, desert-like area, Namaqualand, into an awe-inspiring, dazzling, spectacular mass-display of wild flowers, and photography tours to Namaqualand takes you to an ocean of blue, pink and yellow flowers. Being part of a guided photographic tour to these wild flowers is a special event as well.

The peak flower season is usually from August to September, but sometimes you can see flowers as early as May, which can continue till early November. Leave the city behind; photography tours to Namaqualand will take us into a dramatic landscape with its huge rocks and succulents, opening our eyes to the fact that Namaqualand is not only a desert for the famous but transient flowers, but a permanent amphi-theatre of semi-desert grandeur, where a camera is an absolute necessity.

Photo Tours

C4 Images is more than familiar with Namaqualand, we know it intimately, and have held photographic workshops which have always been fun and educational, blended with comfortable accommodation from which we make our daily photo excursions in small groups.

Namaqualand is a place that does not readily reveal its treasures. The course of history shows us that it was possible for the indigenous people to survive off the harsh land by listening to nature; we’ll be photographing some of the interesting people who live in the villages of Namaqualand and understand its history.

Photography tours to Namaqualand are highly recommend for experienced photographers and beginners alike; people don’t only come for the photography lessons; they come for the inspiration, because C4 Images combines a deep love of photography with an open and engaging teaching style.

If you need to sell your product or business, you will need good quality photography to back your products up, and as first impressions are so important, commercial photography can do a lot to improve your business image because it helps to create great photographs for brochures, websites, magazines and more. Every sized business, whether product or service based, can benefit from having photographs taken of their products and services to be used in a multitude of ways.

Commercial photography is all about being able to work in both colour and black and white, film or digital, location shoots to studio portraits, from stills to video, and to a myriad of different types of clients – to serve businesses and designers of all kinds.

Commercial photography falls into a number of categories:

1. when a business wants to sell a product, such as a car or house. Some businesses may require aerial photography to show their properties or farms off to the full extent;

2. photographs of food are seen literally everywhere; from billboards to TV’s to menu’s;

3. fashion photography is also another category which is seen everywhere

In today’s fast paced world, we are more prone to react to a beautiful image rather than having to take the time to read about the product, and you have to be a true professional to have the ability to grasp what the company is trying to portray and then come up with a photograph that will catch the reader’s eye and stir an interest in the product or services.

As commercial photographers, we understand the needs and demands of business and industry.
Professional commercial photography ensures professional and stunning images, suited to your businesses style and needs, and we specialize in studio-quality photography, from thumb size to corporate portraits; no matter how big or small our clients, we handle each assignment with the same attention to detail.

Aerial Photography has long been used to take pictures of property; in fact it owes its success to the huge demand for aerial pictures of real estate properties – what better way to describe a property to a buyer than to show them a picture taken from the air, and with conservation and agriculture, aerial photography is a tool for fair and accurate measurement of huge tracts of land.

To be successful with this type of photography requires thorough planning and attention to detail, but the techniques and procedures are easily mastered; its not only the distance from the camera to the sun that must be considered, but also the distance from the camera to the subject. From a bird’s eye view of cities, villages and farms, to the view of the Earth from outer space, aerial photography increases our awareness of the world.

Atmospheric conditions and scene characteristics are two important factors to consider when making your film and equipment choices, and can ultimately determine the outcome of your attempts. The angle of the sun determines the best time of day for outdoor photography… selecting the right time of day is critical with aerial photography as well as the subject matter, and buildings, forests and stretches of water present unique challenges for the photographer.

Aerial photography can be used for many situations like weddings, tourism, celebrations, surveying, and a wide array of various uses, and we use a wide variety of means to get those beautiful sky shots -whether its a kite, remote control helicopter or balloon.

If you want to focus on a specific event, we at C4 Images can provide you with the exact outcome you desire – the photos will represent whatever it is you want to accomplish. On the other hand if you would like to learn more about the skills needed for great photography, then we are here to help.

Photography tours to the desert delta promises a trip to an arid environment, where plants and animals have adapted to overcome extremes in temperature and a shortage of water, as well as to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Associated with these wetlands is an incredible assemblage of plants and animals that are dependent on these habitats. Sand or water; sparse or lush; photography tours to the desert delta will be a highlight for any one wanting to show off some magnificent photography.

One can spend a full day exploring the desert landscapes to photograph the curving crests of colossal sand dunes and back at camp, tents provide welcome protection from the desert sun, and each has an en-suite bathroom with shower, flush toilet and bath for additional comfort. We are dedicated to helping our guests get the most out of their photography tours to the Desert Delta, and why not; we’ve been leading photographic expeditions into the heart of Africa for many years, what we don’t know about photography tours in Africa isn’t worth mentioning.

The use of long lenses will be needed to compress the distant mountains for dramatic sunrise shots and we’ll be able to photograph ostrich, gemsbok or even red hartebeest. It’s this desert which elevates Namibia into the very top echelon of photography destinations to visit.

A spectacular charter flight over the jewel-green waterways of the Okavango Delta open up an amazing sight to see this landscape from the air. Game drives or a glide along narrow, papyrus-lined streams to watch eagles, herons and the seasonal mammals means a range of different photographic chances; to see the contrast of the desert and delta, and how to get the best shots possible.

With plenty of time to relax, gorgeous accommodation and everything laid on, photography tours to the desert delta with us is about value and thrills!
