Landscape Photographer South Africa

Landscape and nature photography of South Africa is my personal passion. Mainly driven by the desire to explore and experience our planet’s beautiful and stark South African landscapes since childhood. I am obsessed with photographing beautiful natural scenery and dramatic weather in perfect photographic light.

The legends of landscape photography like Ansel Adams have impressed on me the importance of consistently shooting and striving for better results. The aim of all landscape photographers is to capture the combination of emotional triggers and a euphoric visual journey to transport the viewer allowing them to get lost in the photograph.

These are the photographic moments, when the light, clouds and landscape combine to produce scenes so beautiful that they etch a profound place in viewers’ memories, that I revel in and continue to capture. I believe the essence of a landscape photograph is allowing the viewer to experience that place without ever being there.

Landscape photography has a key role to play in engendering a love for unspoilt landscapes and the beauty of our natural world. If I can share some of the most amazing moments I have been privileged to experience through my South African landscape photography then my life has made a difference to helping people protect and love the planet.

Montagu Pass Garden Route South Africa.
Location scouting and tourism photography of the Garden Route, South Africa involves evaluating possible areas for the shoot, understanding how the space matches your needs, and documenting all the details. As a landscape photographer, I’ve scouted locations throughout South Africa for a variety of photo shoots.

The Garden Route and Klein Karoo in South Africa has the ability to sell locations (TV, Film, Commercials) competitively to the industry, and the region is ideally placed to not only manage any overflows from other filming destinations, but to become a major player in its own right in the industry. The main centres in the Garden Route are Knysna, George, Mossel Bay, Plettenberg Bay and Oudtshoorn.

Colin Stephenson has intimate knowledge of this areas multiple localities and is able to package and offer a wide range of locations (forests, vineyards, mountains, farms, tree houses, tented camps, dams, rivers, beaches, airport, railway, game lodges, caves, heritage sites & buildings, industrial areas which is broader than just its internationally recognized natural advantages).

Colin Stephenson landscape photography is focused on the South African vistas of the Western Cape and Southern Cape. Mountainous landscape photographs and semi desert landscape photography have fascinated me since childhood.

Colin Stephenson is a landscape photographer from South Africa. Shooting landscapes in Black and white allows a graphic reduction of the image. To distill a landscape photograph to its core elements of texture and contrast are key to my landscape photography style.

Black and white landscape photography is beautiful – a semi-abstract, expressive and timeless way of capturing the landscape. Working in black and white can also improve your seeing and compositional skills, and ultimately make you a better landscape photographer.
