Dirty South Photography

As a group of friends who regularly drove and attended the Dirty South Lan, 1 by 1, the call of photography was heard, and along road from moving away from A to M on our dslr camera's, we've made many new friends, explored and visited new and old locations, often incorporating our cars as props and just having a good ol merry get together, minus pc's, plus cars and cams! In no way do i profess to having mastered the art, but it has been a fun filled trip up until now and feel we can only move from strength to strength with our new found hobby!


Along the way, we too found that its not only the time spent behind the camera, but also time spent behind the pc, trying to apply minimalistic and tasteful post processing...



HDR processing has been a firm favorite



As with long exposure dabbling

And selective color via layering in PS

After a long while, a time and date was selected which suited everybody, and we had our second meet, making new acquaintances, hooking up with old ones, and just an awesome time spent with awesome company and some wicked awesome rides!

With the newest member Dale meeting the lads for the first time, it was the norm and custom to break the ice with motorsport talk, laughs and more motorsport talk, blessed with awesome weather and an iconic landmark for a back drop, the shoot began :)

 Dale's 2l 16v
Ashley's Vtec Coupe

 Light painting interest starting to gain traction..

Ending off the night by being thrown out of Cape Town Stadium parking 
by security guards for not having a permit to take photos lol!

Along the way, many have been a great help, +Ashley Buchanan , +Ashraf Naidoo , and pulling +Gavin Joe along for the ride, in future, we hope to see more boots and cameras on the deck!
