He invited me to spend a weekend with him and some friends at Bushmans River. With a borrowed digital camera Reino discovered that weekend that he enjoyed shooting people (in a different kind of way since he was an esteemed paintballer).
*a moment of silence for the borrowed camera who never made it home after that weekend after it got some water damage...*
Anyhoo, for the next few weeks Reino was begging me every single weekend to play model for him... And on one quiet Sunday afternoon I decided "hmmmmm, maybe this won't be so bad...." and off we went... Armed with (another) borrowed camera, Canon 1000D and self-made scrims (food trays covered with tin foil! Hahahaha) -which we still have today by the way... (no longer in use for those of you who are worried...)
Reino edited the pics of our first shoot the same night and loaded them on Facebook... The feedback inspired us to do more shoots... (since then there has been some major quality improvements, we invested in a decent camera and lenses and bought 2 sets of professional mobile lighting and Reino's lead time for photographs are 6 - 8 weeks, and judging by the positive feedback we receive from our clients, worth the wait!)
And on that day Eclipse Photography was born...
I had finished my health and skincare course in 2007, little did i know it would be just in time for us to start this new venture together...
Lately I started taking an interest in taking and retouching my own makeup photographs....
We have the pleasure of meeting the most amazing individuals and see the most breathtaking places...
Who knows what exciting things the future has in store for us....
