Guy Schmidt

I am inspired by the very people and events I photograph, where expressions, emotions, lifestyles and memories are forever captured from a single moment in time. I have started my photography career as a teenager who fell in love with the power of capturing the moment of the ever changing movements, sights and emotions. This created an interest into taking photographs of everything. After a short period I attended a few courses in photo development and artistic photography. I began working for a model agency, International Studio Di Milano, where I handled models and took photos for portfolios and various magazine shoots. I later moved to New Model Today where I took on doing full time photography. Over the next 15 years, my experience led me to shooting a variety of photographs ranging from landscapes, nature and wildlife, weddings and portraits to clubbing, commercial and corporate events. I took photos at corporate events, such as Nedbank Green Day, Guess Launch Event, Toastmasters International Events, Vodafone Summer Ball, Vodafone Call Centre Party and Vodafone Annual Ball. Commercial Events such as: Sexpo, 94.7 Cycle Challenge Events, WWE SA Tour, London New Years Parade, London Thames Festival, Eltham Palace Easter Festival, RedBull Box Cart Race, Bedfont County Fair and Warwick Castle Medieval Festival. Charity Events such as: Groovefest for children's trust and School Fairs. Promotions such as Zoo Magazine Shoots, FHM Calendar Launch and various fashion / modelling shows. Portraits such as: birthday parties and portfolios. Clubbing day and night music festival events including 46664 Concert, Joburg Day, My Coke Fest and various artists concerts.
