We called it ‘photography’ In an era before digital, shooting on negatives had a positive side, we knew what customers wanted. When customers booked their shoots, they told us what they wanted. Customers did not want negatives, they wanted prints, they wanted giant framed canvases on their walls. Shoot and Burn We sold them what they really wanted.

These Apps make it so fast and easy to post a really cool image with an ‘arty’ twist, it just makes you want to use your phone to share images when words will take too long (Sure, I capture it on my DSLR too but later I am just not that inspired and may not share).

The photo lab that delivers
Studio22 delivers in the true sense of the word. Photographers make money when they are out taking photographs or shooting in a studio. The more time spent driving to collect prints or products, the less time you are shooting and billing for your time.

For this reason, Studio22 has been running a very successful delivery service to many areas across Cape Town.
