ZaraZoo joined newlywed Elaine, for her Trash the Dress ceremony in the townships of Cape Town. Surrounded by familiar faces, this was definitely a photo shoot to remember! Photographing in a township is quite a surreal experience – you get there, thinking that you would spend most of your time having to watch you back and equipment… but actually, the people are so friendly, accommodating, helpful and very interested in what is going on. After Elaine’s visit to this Township hairdresser, business is booming! Apparently, everyone now wants an “Up-Style”!!! See Elaine’s Wedding photos.

KFC, Nando’s or Chicken Licken? Why not have our super special, the grilled Township Chicken!!! How spicy would you like it? Hot, Medium or Lemon & Herb?
While shooting Elaine’s TTD in the Township we had an abundance props, including live ones – we could not resist using this chicken and street side grill. For the animal lovers out there… just wanna let you know that “no chickens were harmed during this shoot.”
What have you achieved with a photo if no questions are asked about it? By having some unexplained or mysterious element in a photo, you force the viewer to think about the image, to try and make sense of it…
Sorry for being so philosophical… The fact is that all of us hope to be remembered one day after we have left this earth, but the pretty vineyard shot of the bride and groom is too generic an image to get your name written remembered! Please share your thoughts with us on this one.
