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 got my first publication of my photos in the August Edition of the Live Out Loud magazine. I recently started photographing functions and events for Live Out Loud. Big thanks to Steve Hughes and Dunja Berger at Live Out Loud CT. Here is the publication on a casino evening that I photographed.

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.
For those of you who missed Jean-Pierre Uys’s Trash The Dress insert on Top Billing, here is the YouTube clip. The magazine show, Top Billing, did an interview in the end of last year with Jean-Pierre where he talked about trends in wedding photography and also photographed two Trash the Dress sessions. I was one of Jean-Pierre’s assistant for the day, controling the big flash light and handing the equipment to him. I always loved working on TV and movie sets in the past, so the camera was nothing new for me. I do not want to give too much information away. I hope that I don’t make a fool of myself. Also go to Jean Pierre’s Blog to view some of the pictures of the day. I just want to thank Jean-Pierre for the awesome opportunity and for a great day of fun in the sun.
