Cape Town Photographer - About Russell Tranter

I'm Russell Tranter. CEO, Photographer & Designer for wowME | Photography.

I originally started my career around the iconic English racing circuits as a Sports Photographer for the MSVR Formula 3 Cup Championship, in which i was the photographer & social media expert for Dave Karaskas Racing. This inspired me to become a full time photographer and eventually move back to my home town of Cape Town, South Africa.

Upon my return, i quickly tried to break into the Cape Towns photography scene by starting my own company called wowME | Photography, which specializes in Architectural and Real Estate Photography, Cape Town Wedding Photography, Portrait Photography, Pet Photography, Food Photography, Editorial & Commercial Photography.

Having gained experience within my own company, i decided (as an individual always willing to learn and experience as much as possible), that i would find those companies & people with vast and endless experience in the photography industry and learn from them to improve my skills and knowledge.

Cape Town Photographer, Russell Tranter

"The key to stunning images is a simple one. It is only possible if the people I'm photographing feel relaxed and at ease. This is achieved by building relationships with my clients and getting to know you! I am a people photographer and photographing people is my passion. That's why I always take the time to get to know the people who choose me to be their photographer,

be it for their wedding or a portrait sitting. Understanding what they want to achieve from their shoot is essential because, to me, that understanding is key to delivering beautiful photographs which people will be proud of now and for years to come."

"Over the years I have developed my own style of Cape Town wedding photography & other Cape Town photography that I hope you find honest and emotive. It stems from a fundamental and essential knowledge of light and composition, but infused with the passion I have to create beautiful photography. Photography in Cape Town & London has always been a part of my life whether it was capturing a golden beach sunset or a cheeky smile from one my clients."

"It is only now I have the true satisfaction that derives itself from realising a long held dream and in truth, I can say I feel truly privileged to be able to photograph people. I photograph weddings and portraits nationwide but operate mainly in Cape Town. Cape Town Wedding Photography, family, couples and pet portraiture, food photography & high magnification macro are just some of the types of photography i dabble in. In addition to Cape Town Wedding Photography, I am also an international travel photographer who has photographed in London as well as Cape Town."

"The best wedding photographers in Cape Town should stand out from the crowd and if you browse through the Cape Town wedding portfolio and other images you will see that the photographs have a unique feel to them. I am to bring that uniqueness to every wedding i photograph. Cape Town wedding photography documents all the key moments of your wedding day with natural looking, contemporary and stylish photographs that you will cherish forever.
I love to travel and a happy to travel throughout the South Africa or internationally as a destination wedding photographer for destination wedding photography."
