The experiences and photography of Grant Pitcher
There are times when I get commissioned to photograph a luxury home before the owners have taken occupation. This can work in favor of the image capture especially with respect to the architectural detail and structural elements as all you're left to envisage is the spaces within and vertical and horizontal lines of the built environment. This was very true for a marvelous … [Read more...]
This past week I have had the pleasure in showcasing the interior design work of OLàLà! Interiors who are based in the Lifestyle Centre in Ballito. This particular home shown below is a wonderful mix of old and new where the design team have taken pieces from their first interior project on the owner's previous home in Gauteng and interwoven these seamlessly into the new … [Read more...]
I am a keen follower of an interesting blog on worldwide architecture called Architecture Lover and often marvel at the bold and out-there designs of some of the homes featured on the site. Recently I was privileged to showcase one right on our coast designed by the professional team at Elphick Proome Architects and construction undertaken by Stedone Homes. It's great when … [Read more...]
This week I have had the privilege of showcasing a number of Zimbali properties for the Extra Dimensions Property Group. Each home designed by the sensational creative genius of Feeu Architects. From a photography aspect the homes had their challenge of the lack of surrounding space in the ability to capture the elevations appropriately but the weather was kind in providing a … [Read more...]
It was a joy to capture another Extra Dimensions built home in Zimbali Coastal Estate designed by Feeu Architects. I am continually enthralled by this design and their homes make for such an easy photogenic canvas with which to capture great residential imagery. I love the contemporary clean lines and the seemless flow of the home that is filled with natural light from the … [Read more...]

Especially with the buzz of the Rugby World Cup around at the moment it was an honor to photograph a home of a former Blue Bulls rugby player who has now moved down to the coast of Kwazulu Natal after having retired from professional rugby a few years back. Such a gentleman and I love the fact that the couple were so humbled to have me showcase their home in the best possible … [Read more...]
I owe a lot of my success in the photography of architecture and stylish interiors to the magazine SA Home Owner for whom I have been their preferred supplier in KZN for the past 4 years. It was just over 4 years ago to the month that I did my first home feature, a magnificent home in Upper La Lucia for the bumper December issue of 2007. I was most excited to hear the address … [Read more...]
I had originally come across the architect, Hans Coetzee, a number or years ago when showcasing a home feature of a beautiful and grand residence in Mt Edgecombe Golf Estate No2. Subsequently, it has always been pleasing to hear, when arriving at a new location to shoot, that the design was by Hans. Well, in this case I have now had the privilege to be commissioned by Hans … [Read more...]
