Project-basedConcept to delivery

On the Swahili Coast, the light follows the sun. The shoot follows the tide.

LowRisingMidHighFallingLow

A reef shot at Diani needs low tide and reef shoes. A dhow shot at the harbour needs the opposite. Two monsoons, Kaskazi and Kusi, decide the whole season's water and wind months in advance. This is roughly where the tide sits rising in today's cycle — real tide tables are what we actually book a shoot around, down to the day.

Brief

A short call or message — what you're shooting, where, and when. Most commercial briefs get a quote within a day.

Scout & plan

Location, tide, and shot list confirmed ahead of time — especially for beach and reef locations, where tide tables decide what's possible.

Shoot day

On set, on time. Direction kept light so the people in front of the camera stay themselves.

Edit & deliver

Culled, graded, and delivered through a private gallery. Raw files available on request for commercial clients.
