I am Du Wayne Denton, a photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I am really privileged to be in a job where I can be creative daily, meet new people and experience beautiful places. This is my online journal where I share my latest work and news of my business with everyone. From weddings, lifestyle shoots and even interesting photographs. This blog is for everyone who loves photography and the art behind it.
So, come and see what I experience behind the lens of my camera. Please leave a comment if you were inspired or moved by any of the images. If you would like to enquire about my wedding photography or lifestyle photo sessions, feel free to contact me. I am available to travel around South Africa and worldwide to capture your special moments.That's enough from me. Let the images speak for themselves...
I met Will and Kate at beach in Llandudno for a couple session before they head back home to the UK. They were here in South Africa on vacation visit family and to plan their wedding that will take place in 2011 at Molenvliet. Because the tide came in, we hopped around from rock to rock to get to nice spots. I really love the beach at Llandudno. It is just one of many beautiful spots along our coastline. Here are some of the images of the day.
Earlier this year I decided to a shoot with my brother, Desmond, and his girlfriend, Bea. We decided to go to Kleinmond for the day. I photographed them under the big bridge with some cool graffiti and rocks. The wind was blowing strongly underneath the bridge. Even though it looked like we had a bad hair day, the wind added some really admosphere to the shots.
There was a time this year that the blog was quite and no new work was posted. That was because we went on vacation for the first time in a long time. This trip to our families beach house in Pringle Bay and to Greyton was a great outing. We got to spent time together as a little family and recharge our batteries as we prepared for the new season ahead. I came back inspired and with a bigger zeal for my work. This was one the best trips and I will always cherish the memories. A special thanks to wife & daughter, Zani and Amelie. You two are the best gifts that God has given me. Here are some of the amazing images that I photographed on this trip. Most of the images are of Amelie.
One Saturday afternoon, I spend some time with the Louw family on Blaauwberg beach photographing some fun family pictures. Zani attended Amelia’s Mom’s & Babes classes with Amelie. These pictures are just a small thank you to her. I loved the pictures with their daughter, Julia. She has a lots of character.
I was priviledge to photograph the portraits of the actors on my brother’s new film, “Anderkant Die Stilte”. It was really great to work with some our best actors in our South African industry. Like they say in Afrikaans, Oud maar nog nie koud! Here are a short sinopsis of the short film and some images of the actors. Visit the blogsite for more news on the film.
I visited the set of “Anderkant Die Stilte” film at Monte Rossa Old Age Home. I photographed a few portraits of some of the old people sitting around on the day. Looking at these photos makes me sad. We all can play a role in society, whether we are young or old. We should not write people off because of their age or their fisical condition. Hope these images move those who watch this post.
My brother, Desmond, had his birthday at Cape to Cuba in Long Street a few months ago and I took a few fun pictures that night. The theme was Detectives & Ladies. In the quiet season I made time to finish off these pictures, because there are some really fun images that I wanted to post. Here a few images from my family and friends.

Here is a couple/e-session of Wadda & Arina, our very good friends. Some of you might have seen some of these images on my Lifestyle & Portraiture website. I photographed the two of them at Derde Steen Beach on very windy Sunday afternoon. This was the first shoot with my 5D Mark II. I really loved the color of the images that the camera produced. It feels great to shoot in a pro-body! Zani has been best friends with Arina since Primary School days and, funny enough, Wadda dated Zani in High school. Wadda & Arina got married in February this year and I had the honor to photograph their special day. Zani decided to print some of these pictures from the couple session to make a little guest book for their guests to write them short messages on their wedding day. Here are a few of my favorite images of that shoot. Their wedding photos will be posted next week on the blog.

I am busy photographing people for a portrait study in my free time. As you know, capturing the essence and personality of a person on camera is what I love doing. If there is anyone who wants to partake of this portrait study, you are more than welcome to contact me. I am doing this for extra bit of fun and inspiration on the sideline. This portrait is taken of Zani Aunt, Tannie Perel. She is a breast cancer survivor and a wonderful, caring person.
I got to know Carl & Lelani better after I photographed their engagement session on Blaauwbergstrand. We really enjoyed ourselves that afternoon even if it was windy. We finished off the afternoon with a glass of champagne and a great sunset. I am also photographing their wedding photos in May this year. Carl & Lelani, if this is the results that we’ve achieved with the e-session, I can’t wait for your wedding. You guys are a great couple! Here are a few fun images from their engagement session. Keep your eyes on the blog for their wedding… coming soon!
