Mining photography for Anglogold Ashanti at their Mponeng mine - Copyright - Anglogold Ashanti

Ever wondered what it looks like deep underground in a gold mine?

Jolandie and I had the awesome experience to shoot for AngloGold Ashanti at their Mponeng mine, which is the deepest mine in the world!
It extends over 4 kilometers below the surface and is one of the most substantial gold mines in the world. 
These images where shot in the training level which is at about the 83rd level, but the conditions are pretty similar, although down in the actual working mine, it's allot darker, wetter and tougher. 
Permission was granted for this level only, as interruptions to production and safety concerns could be kept to a minimum.

Castle Milk Stout Ultra Smooth - shot for Corporate Image - Photographed and retouched by Chris Wessels Photography

This is a very recent shoot I did which is being used as a guide to drinking the new Castle Milk Stout Ultra Smooth. Chill, Hard Pour, Settle and enjoy. Shooting pouring shots are technically challenging and requires a great deal of patience. I had fun with this, but also have Sarah of Corporate image to thank for creating this opportunity. Also a great big thanks to my new friend Ayanda from Liquidchefs

for your assistance in making this a success.

This is a small selection of images I recently shot for Jenna Clifford. I have shot over 1000 images for her over the last 7 years and still find it challenging and rewarding from set-up to editing the final shot.

Sometimes there is nothing more frustrating and satisfying at the same time regarding the level of difficulty in some shots, but I always love what the end result ends up to be.

   

 These stunning butterflies were made especially for Venus & Serena Williams and presented to them when they recently visited South Africa.

The bracelets (both images) and the Rhino sugar spoons below are designed by Jenna Clifford and are made to play part in the Stop Rhino Poaching campaign and proceeds will go to much needed resources to aid in the fight against Rhino poaching. for more info on these or anything related to Jenna Clifford's jewelery, contact annette@jennaclifford.com.
