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 have been working on this concept for a while and I think that it is the right time to reveal it. This is the fifth year of my photography business and I want to give something back to other people. I have been busy putting together content for creative workshop for photographers. I call it: Workshop of 5. Here is a brief outline of this course.
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.
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.

For those of you who did not know, I studied graphic design back in the day at Cape Town University of Technology (Cape Technikon). Photography was part of my studies and that is where my it all started for me. I used to do a lot of feelance design work while my photography business was still small. When photography took over my life, I could not keep up with all the design work. So I had to stop my design work. I had a look at all design porfolio the other day and realised how much a miss it. Sad, but I know that one day I will get opportunities in the future where I can use it again. If I look at my photography, I can see the influence of my art and design studies on my style. Here is two images where I used photography in the designs in my portfolio.
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 assisted Jean Pierre Uys at a Kluk & CGDT Fashion Show. Our goal was to capture the main event, all the celebrities and to get some creative behind the scenes images. The really beautiful color lights gave us really great opportunities to capture really creative photographs. The fashion show had a fun twist to it. Instead of a catwalk there were about 6 platforms with steps for the models to stand on and display the clothing. From great dancers to a great orchestra, what more could we ask for. Here are some of the images that really move me.
