Dave Adendorff is the New Media designer behind PixelProjects:  "Having been a professional photographer for 11 years before moving my focus to web design, I also produce video for various clients. Dave has photographed subjects in 39 countries around the world with Alaska & Peru being his favourite photography/filming destinations.

After studying Photography at Technikon Pretoria, I relocated to Cape Town. It's here that I started in the Advertising industry as a studio photographer, working on accounts such as Shoprite/Checkers, Aroma Liquors, Lewis Stores, Corricraft and many others.

As a freelance photographer, I concentrated on editorial and industrial/shipping photography. Some notable clients included: Popular Mechanics Magazine, Surf Magazine (Germany), Vodaworld Magazine, Shell Oil, Hellespont Shipping and many more.

 

One of the great things about shooting freelance editorial projects, is that you never know what you're going to get when you arrive on location. It's very much use what you have and make the best of it. This means that  you have to be prepared....for anything.

The web is going mobile, whether we like it or not. This poses some serious design questions for designers. Moving from a computer/laptop screen to a much the smaller screens of a mobile device can be challenging, to say the least. Sticking to a few simple guidelines will make the transition much easier.

Photographing a moving subject can be challenging. Photographing a moving subject from a violently moving platform can be almost impossible. During the Around Alone restart in Cape Town, I got tossed onto a small press boat with about 6 other photographers. What fun we had.

In October 2003, I was approached to shoot the 10th anniversary cover for the Vodaworld Magazine. The shoot itself was very straight forward. I think we were in and out of the studio within 2 hours. Obviously working with professional actors makes it so much easier as they take direction better than some professional models. Bankole Ajibabi Omotoso, also known as the Yebo Gogo man, was an absolute pleasure to work with.
