Hannes Uys Photography
Photography in Johannesburg

Wedding photography with some zing. We are inspired by the timeless and the classic without adhering to any rules. At Hannes Uys Photography we love to create emotive images that are rich with colour and well composed.

What’s cool about photography is how it reflects the stuff of life and how it is always current. Hannes is a non-traditional photographer based in Johannesburg South Africa, however on occasion photographs unique weddings wherever life likes to take him. Here, you will find some of his latest work that he feels needs a post, or just a few random thoughts on photography in general. In Hannes's world there is always something beautiful to be found somewhere. It's been a few months since the wedding and we've been showing our album and photos to anyone and everyone willing to take a look. She was under the impression that you're a close friend who captured our wedding day as a gift to us. Your images speak for themselves and where they don’t the viewer has enough to say to fill in the blanks. When we started looking at portfolios of the wedding photographers available your images immediately hit all the right notes. We wanted a photographer that would capture the special moments of our wedding without all the cliché and set ups and particularly wanted images of the wedding as it happened with a focus on not only us but all the people that attended. These are the real moments of our wedding day and the moments we wanted to remember most. We are not supermodels and that is fine but you still managed to make us look good. The images of my nephew, particularly of his grandfather tickling him, are beautiful and capture the happiness our day brought others. Most of these mailers will contain interesting industrial or travel insights that is sent to mostly industrial clients, just to keep in touch. However you are more than welcome to get into this loop too. I’ve created it way back in 2012, but have only had time to activate it recently. My photo book albums are designed in a minimalistic landscape design and printed on 160 gsm matt paper. All coffee table books are delivered in a black Wibalin box. Remembering a few care guidelines will ensure that you get optimum use and longevity from your photo book. It is advisable to wash your hands before handling a photo book.When paging through a photo book it is best to lay it down on a flat surface before paging. Photo books with a high page count can tear or break easily when dropped purely due to its weight. Since photographic paper is used to print the images on, a few elements can be harmful to the printed pages. Elements that you should not expose your book to are: fumes with sulphur dioxide, cleaning solvents, smog, smoke of any kind, or paints. Keep your book away from humidity and try to keep it as dry as possible. Avoid storage areas such as attics or basements where a lack of air movement can result in a humid space. Humidity can result in a mold growth called Foxing. Moisture can also cause the pages to become crinkled. To help assist with the prevention of mold growth or crinkling you can make use of gel silica packets. Silica gel is a desiccant that absorbs and holds water vapour. Insects have their function in life, but can cause serious damage to books. Some insects have been known to have a taste for certain emulsions as well as some glues used to construct the book with. Should you find an insect in a photo book container, empty it immediately and look for other culprits.
