Re build SA with the camera.

PhotographingSA.co.za.

Photographers have the means to better utilize their talents to assist in sharing the beauty of South Africa. Photographers form a major direct and indirect driver of tourism but have never been measured, recognized nor rewarded in any way effectively. This portal aims to do just that Through;

1. Creating a community of national and international traveling photographers with a common goal, to capture and share South Africa's beauty. 2. Creating a platform/community of products, destinations, accommodation, suppliers of equipment and services to photographers that recognise photographers as a important part of their clients base and reward them accordingly. 3. Providing information and platforms relevant to Photographers and tourism operators to best motivate and capture the beauty of SA and share or use such images to uplift the tourism sectors of the economies on route, in towns or specific destinations such as; 1. Creating photographic competitions, 2. Exposing the worthy elements of people or by people, products, services, opportunities, natural beauty to as wide as possible.
