The Photographic World of
John & Terry Sadie

Introduction

We are a husband and wife team who work well together, constantly challenging each other to do better, go further or to just push the boundaries  to see just how far they will go. Our approach to everything we do is to be the best we can possibly be, at whatever we do.

Our subject matter is wide and the variety is constantly changing as we find new subjects to photograph. We began our photographic journey with our first love, wildlife, and rapidly moved to subjects such as portraits, moto-x, quad bike racing, off-road racing, go-karting,  motorbike rallies, extreme sport and even the inside of a Krishna Temple during a special feast.

Our photographs and images have graced the front covers and pages of international and local magazines, billboards, calendars, the walls of exclusive game lodges, private and public companies, government offices and buildings and just as significantly, the walls of many private individuals.

 

Our Sense of Adventure

With our sense of adventure and our love of the outdoors, we don't need much of an excuse  to get us rushing off on another photographic excursion.  We have had great fun photographing a huge variety events and have met some great people, many of whom have become really good friends.

We've dived out the way of out-of-control Sand Masters while photographing the Botswana 1000km Desert Race, lain on the ground between jumps photographing ramping motorbikes as they passed overhead. We've tracked dangerous game on foot and John got mauled by a cheetah he had just photographed, in Botswana; fortunately not badly.

No venue is too far, too rough or too difficult to reach. We have travelled on some of the roughest and most dangerous roads in Southern & Central Africa where many an intrepid explorer has turned back.

While we love adventure and excitement, there is a softer more gentle side us as we indulge in portrait and general commercial photography.

 

The Scope our of Work

Our unique approach to school photography minimises the amount of administration done by the school and guarantees the quality of our work. Our guarantee includes a full refund to a parent, should the parent not be satisfied with the photographs, for whatever reason.

We allow sufficient time for a sitting, photographing a variety of poses of the family and various combinations of family members together and individually. After the sitting we sit with the family and select which photographs to print.

Time and patience is essential with child photography. We help the children relax with an informal and friendly atmosphere. Several photos are taken and we have the parent or if at a nursery school, the teacher to help choose which is the best photograph.

We have images from a great many of the parks and game reserves of southern and central Africa. We have images of the largest to the smallest creatures that includes mammals, birds, primates, reptiles and insects.

Event photography is one of those fun occupations. Events include golf days, moto-x, quad-bike racing, mountain bike challenges, motorbike rallies, off-road racing, go-karts and extreme events where we follow runners on a 250km self-sufficiency marathon through the desert.

Africa is in our blood and wherever we travel, we will stop and photograph the people and the surrounding area.

The diversity of the cultures and people of Africa never cease to amaze and enthral us.

In our travels around Africa, we have been privileged to see some of the most incredible scenery and wherever possible we have stopped and to capture what we see. We try to capture the emotion and the awe inspiring feeling we get when we saw one of these amazing views.

We strive to make the memories of that day as special as possible. How we spend our time, what we do on the day and what we supply depends on the package selected. We can produce a photo album and a slide show set to music chosen by the couple.
