We all want to let loose every now and again, and the best way to do that, is that have one wacky party were everyone dresses up, and pretend to be some crazy character. You can be as extraordinary as you want to be, and it will all add to the fun of the event. Especially with 21^st birthday parties, one can think outside of the box and have a theme associated with it.

We enjoy this family tremendously, as we have done a few functions for them already. Knowing you have professional photographers to captures the evening’s essence, will take a big load off of your shoulders, knowing that we have high-end equipment that will have colours pop, and skin tones appear natural. The Canon 5D Mark II that our studio use, is an amazing piece of equipment and truly makes our vision come alive.

Have your next function photographed by the photographers at Louise Diesel Photography, as all of who we are goes into our photography, and you’ll get an amazing product, where we made sure to capture all of your event’s details, the people and help you make memories that will last forever.

When two artistic people come together, it can be a creative jumble of ideas and a huge amount of fun. Ever since starting my job at Louise Diesel Photography, I have felt it was also another “home” of mine, because we are given a huge amount of creative freedom, which I feel, have been able to help me grow in my art actually. It was able to mould and evolve, and one could actually take the space and time to stand back, see your own work, regard its quality, and better on it.

Louise have done a great job by making our small studio grow by the month, and I have seen the flow of growth ever since I’ve started. We get to move in such wonderful places in spaces, where we can amaze our clients, and ourselves. Through that whole process, not only have I climbed the ladder higher in my work, but were also able to work closely with Riani, Louise’s photographer for over 2 and a half years, and we were able to get together, bounce ideas off each other, and because we understand the technicality of the studio set-up so well, we understand each other’s unfinished sentences, and move on instinct alone at times.

We have a great energy being together, even by having different points of view, or different opinions about things, but we get to be stronger together, like a double-banded rope, and it’s been a great ride, one which I hope gets to be as much of an inspiration, and more -  through Louise’s guidance, as it is now, and as much fun and hard work (and more), as it is now, by working with Riani.

It’s really amazing to photograph any young woman walk in here, wanting to have modeling photos done. It’s sometimes not even for the intention of starting with a modeling career; it’s maybe just even to have nice photos taken of themselves professionally, and such a shoot, I thoroughly enjoy, it is very casual, and full of chat about the ‘model’, their life and what they do for a living or just how they spend their time or what they do for fun.

With any client of ours, we pride ourselves in giving them professional products, so we use good lighting and cameras, and it makes a world of difference. Having a great passion for photography is what makes our studio so successful, as it really is what we breathe, eat and sleep. With any art, if there isn’t 120% passion behind it, it’s noticed by the audience. A certain X-factor that can’t always be clearly explained , runs through the shoot when the artist’s passion was fully poured into the project, and the goal was completely to get technically, wonderful shots of the subject, but to have the subject feel beautiful forever – as photos are forever, images captured for life.

Any person interested in having good photos taken of themselves, should highly consider Louise Diesel Photography, as it is really a place where you can relax, knowing we have your best interests at heart, and a passion behind what we do.

Even though many of us think Valentine’s Day is for the birds, many of us still find it sentimental to give a loved one a give on the day of LOVE. So many women sit in the predicament of not knowing what to give their husbands or boyfriends as gifts. We find a boudoir photo shoot to be a great idea, as it is intimate and photos of the lady they adore, and serves the purpose of a personalized gift, just for him.

This Valentine’s day, all ladies can come and indulge their senses in the wonderful experience that is our boudoir shoots, it’s a fun way of showing how much you love your man, and respect yourself. Even if you feel you’re maybe more inhibited or shy, we assure you that it is all about making you feel comfortable, strategically placing the light, and photographing a side of yourself, that might even surprise you.

Spoil yourself with a few lovely pieces of underwear, and let us handle the rest of using the time in the studio, to help get to know you a little better, showing you how any women can and are still beautiful, and capturing it professionally so that you feel it was worth the effort, and that it turned out to be the perfect Valentine’s gift.

Valentine’s day Boudoir Photography

We quite often find ourselves taking the most beautiful photos of pregnant women.  And as a pregnancy photographer in Johannesburg I can most definitely tell you that there is a lot of people who planned to have their babies born in 2010, the year the Soccer World Cup was played in South-Africa.  We have seen a big increase in the numbers of pregnant women being photographed just in the last six months.

I can’t quite put into words how pretty pregnant women are to us as photographers.  There is just something truly special to carrying a new life within your womb.  Instead of using a lot of props in pregnancy photos we choose to concentrate on the emotion on mom-to-be’s face and the placement of her hands in “holding” her unborn baby.

“J”s little baby is going to be called Lazaro Levi, don’t you just think that is one of the coolest names ever?!  I absolutely love it!  It certainly creates big expectations (but he probably already weighs in at 3kg’s and mom is only 36 weeks pregnant) so no problem there

Little man I absolutely cannot wait to meet you and spend another hour of fun in the studio with your mother!

Pregnancy is a beautiful event in your life and it should be celebrated as such.  We love taking natural pregnancy photos of you and your partner.  We will still pose you and show you how we’d like you to stand and where to face but this is where the magic come into it… 

Our pregnancy photoshoots are fun and relaxed, we talk, laugh and joke the whole photoshoot through as well as capture teriffic images of your pregnant belly

Our studio is climate controlled so it the temperature is always just right come winter or summer.  If I had to sum it all up I would say pregnancy photos is all about showcasing your beautiful tummy whilst capturing that special connection you and your partner share…

What do all four of these people have in common…?  They are all models with awesome modelling portfolio’s.  Having professional modelling photos done by a professional

photographer can make all the difference.  It shows that you are willing to put time and effort into your career.  You don’t always to have to use the same model photographer seeing

that they all have their own style and way of shooting your model portfolio.  Choose outfits that suit your “look” and make the most out of your photoshoot.  Tell the photographer

about your style and who you want to be, it always help if you have an idea of it.  Then lastly, just go for it.  It’s okay to be shy for the first 5 minutes of your modelling shoot but then you must own it to become a true top model!
