ABOUT ME
– Hi, I’m Lyle Conrad –
Firstly, I want to thank you for
stopping by to check out my work.
I do hope that you like what you see.
I don’t have any deep, profound
philosophies about photography
but I do have pure passion
for this art form & take delight in
the beauty of pretty much
everything in this world.
Yes, I’m that person who is
always taking pictures
of whatever catches my eye
everywhere I go & I’m
pretty unapologetic about it.
I do feel that most people are too caught up in their busy lives to slow down & appreciate the little things, whether it’s the smile of a stranger, the unusual shape of a cloud in the sky or a special moment of joy & excitement.
If you are equally drawn to these things and want to have me accompany you on your adventures through Cape Town, get in touch with me and let’s get started capturing the magic around us!
Location & Preferences
I am a Freelance Photographer & shoot on location, either indoors or outdoors, at locations in & around Cape Town.
The best locations are ones that offer tons of natural light & as little distraction from the outside world as possible.
The best shooting times for outdoor shoots, mainly for portraits, is golden hour, both in the morning & the evening.
In the morning, this is the hour just after sunrise & in the evening, the hour just before sunset.
During these time frames, the light from the sun is softer & more golden(hence the phrase), creating a more flattering effect on the skin than the harsh sunlight during the middle of the day.
Indoor shoots are less restricted to these times & rely upon a combination of the natural light coming in from outside & the artificial light from indoor lighting & the camera flash.
Photography Rates
My rates are based on the duration & specific type of photo shoot being done, area being traveled to & the amount of post processing work/time required.
Kindly call me directly on +27 83 246 5949 to discuss these details & get an accurate quotation based on the above criteria.
