Shooting in South Africa with Another Solution was from start to finish a totally pleasurable experience. Everyone in their team helped us achieve fantastic results and worked really hard. They understood what we needed and the level of detail required. We achieved so much with our budget, it made a lot of sense to shoot out there on every level. I look forward to our next shoot with Another Solution.

Producers

Tanja Adams and Helen Parker run Another Solution. Before this they worked in UK advertising agencies.

They firmly believe in accountability, that's why either Helen or Tanja oversee every project from start to finish, ensuring you always have a point of contact you can trust.

Casting

To negate the costs of flying talent around the world, we hold all castings in South Africa, which ultimately provides cost and time benefit to our clients.

Street Casting

Our casting director will hit the street with brief in hand to find the unusual, the beautiful or the never-before-seen.

From Z card

We'll arrange for portfolios to be e-mailed direct to your desktop from recommended models agencies.

Formal Casting

Or we can do it the traditional way.

  1. Send us your casting brief
  2. We'll brief the casting agent
  3. The casting agent will send the brief to the modelling agent
  4. Models will come to our offices for head and body shots
  5. Casting agent will send Jpegs to you
  6. You select a shortlist and callbacks take place with the photographer in South Africa

Crew

We are extremely proud of our reputation for delivering great results - it is what we have built our business on. To consistently achieve these high standards we use a tried and tested crew, who know what is expected from them.

Wardrobe & Props

We have South African stylists but we can also use UK stylists if you prefer. It’s worth noting that most clothes and props are available in South Africa but the UK does have more options, so we can source whatever is needed here, and get it to South Africa.

Locations

South Africa is a country with tonnes of sunshine and a huge array of backdrops that can be found within close proximity of each other. We can shoot European cityscapes in the morning and untamed wilderness in the afternoon. This flexibility cuts down on travel time and costs - just one of the main reasons South Africa makes great sense.

Here's how to go about sourcing that great location:

  1. Send us the brief
  2. We'll brief and work with our location scouts
  3. Jpegs will come back to us and we'll pass them on
  4. Once a short list is selected, the end location can be finalised in South Africa on the Location recce

Post Production

South Africa has a number of high quality, international standard post-production facilities that can do whatever it takes to polish and finish the job to whatever stage and specification you require.

  1. Low Res scans to send to UK
  2. High Res Scans
  3. Re-touching

Moving Image

We have years of experience shooting moving image on the back of stills, and it makes sense to do this while you are in South Africa. Talk to us about your requirements and we will come up with a solution that fits your budget.

Flights

We’ll handle all your flight requirements and because we’re constantly booking them we get the best deals.

Hotels

There are plenty of fantastic places to stay in South Africa and we can arrange suitable hotels to fit a range of budgets. We are happy to make recommendations. For starters here are a few Cape Town favourites:

Chaperones

Our experienced chaperones are there to tend to your every need, from getting you to and from the shoot, to organising activities in your spare time. They know South Africa like the back of their hands and will ensure you get the most out of your trip.
