Complimentary photoshoot

What we offer –

You will receive between 30 and 50 high-resolution images absolutely free of charge, to use as you see fit. The images will be of your accommodation interior and exterior and the facilities and surroundings of your resort. The images can be used on your website, for posting to social media, even for printing of banners or posters.
We do regular photograph postings to the major social media sites, containing a short narrative describing the image. The photographs taken at your resort will be used for this, over a period of time.
We will also post a review of your resort on Tripadvisor and on your Facebook page.
The images, reviews and your details will be published on our website, for viewing by our site visitors.

What we require in return –

Complimentary, out-of-season weekend(s) (Fri – Sun), with accommodation for two in one of your chalets.
Credits for the photographs taken by us – published on your website.
An endorsement of what we do – published on your website and posted to your social media.
Our watermarks are to remain intact on the photographs published.

22 December 2016 ~ Welcome to our newly established internet presence!

To date, we have been jointly operating under the eX-Base Photography banner, but we recently had the privilege to expand our equipment base and skill-sets and as a result, decided to split our operation into three streams –

Nomads – Nature photography and Travel reviews (Operated by Xander and Mariaan Buys)
eX-Base Photography – Architectural, Concert and Lifestyle photography (Operated by Xander Buys)
Purple Hat Photography – Architectural and Lifestyle photography (Operated by Mariaan Buys – coming soon!)

This restructuring will allow us to publish relevant content in a more structured and logical fashion and also allow us to showcase our individual portfolios.

Going forward all new nature- and travel-related content will be published on this site, with back-links to previous content captured by eX-Base Photography. This is why a lot of the images will continue to show the eX-Base Photography branding. Photo albums and reviews will also redirect to the respective eX-Base Photography Flickr and Tripadvisor websites. This will be rectified in time, please bear with us.

In the meantime, please check back often for updates or subscribe to receive update notifications.
