Shannon Van Zyl
Professional Photographer
With 20 years of expertise in delivering high-quality images that elevate brands, capture leadership, and communicate stories, this is what I love to do!
My obsession with photography has taken me on an incredible journey, from high-profile corporate events and head shots, to magazines, newspapers, intimate weddings and adorable school photographs capturing their personality in their portraits.
Studying this craft in Pretoria was the absolute best grounding. Followed by 10 years in the publishing industry as an inhouse photographer and videographer across multiple publications for both online and print.
This business has given me the opportunity to create a life with my family, while still working in the corporate world.
With two decades of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with esteemed clients across various industries, including travel, logistics, construction, events and academia.
‘Shannon did a promotional photo-shoot at the Protea Hotel Balalaika for an advert campaign we signed with Now Media. Once promotional images were received, it was evident to me that she has a very professional eye for detail, encompassing her understanding of the anticipated corporate marketing applications of images. I have worked with many photographers
the past ten years and this understanding is truly a skill. Her production is of the highest quality, reflecting her hard-working, self-motivated and creative nature. I would recommend her for any job she pursues.’
Karin Pieters – Marketing Manager, Balalaika Protea Hotel
Shannon really captured the moment and visualized it in her photos. Her natural flair helped us to feel at ease which made the photos look and feel real and not posed. Great energy and so easy to work with!
