Locations

We want to create a setting where only your vision is important, where you don’t have to constantly watch over your back and worry about factors of crime or equipment not being safe. We have a wide range of townships we work in, and it’s the easiest thing to access them. Say for example, you wish to shoot in Gugulethu, the 2nd oldest black township in Cape Town, and you need an area with both tenement buildings and shacks in sight.

We have excellent knowledge of each township, and will avail to you all the specs and significant things to consider before embarking on a shoot in that area. Soweto and it's countless interim townships, Hillbrow, Alexandra, Tembisa, the list is endless. Our job is strictly about providing comfort, as well as a workable environment where security and other threatening concerns are a thing of the past. Whether it'd be an area of shacks or public housing, we know our way around it. We know for example, that Ny streets in Gugulethu, Cape Town (e.g. Ny 1) are predominantly houses, and areas like Ktc, Barcelona and Europe are without doubt, shacks. Once you have selected an area, we avail a list of amenities in and around that area, even where the nearest police station, hospital, fire station etc, is located. A map is also a tool you can use to determine for example, how far you’ll be from the city central and we'll advise what routes can be used to access that part of the township. We also provide pictures to further give you an idea of the type of setting and geography of the area you choose. This is all good to know, especially before the official recce.

We have a hermetic procedure that covers all the intricate aspects of shooting in the township. Rest assured that once we’ve gone through the aforementioned process, shooting in our townships will be a fun and exhilarating process. Of course, we're not only limited to african or coloured townships/flats, we're also proficient in finding locations in urbanized areas too.
