Photo Production in South Africa

We are a full service production company facilitating photographic shoots in Southern Africa.

The enigmatic city of Cape Town, in the Western Cape of South Africa, is blessed with great weather and a wide variety of photo location settings. The sun shines long and bright on the many beaches, forests, scenic roads and characterful buildings of the Mother City; with the iconic Table Mountain as backdrop –the perfect setting for any shoot.

Beyond Production

South Africa is a country rich with possibilities, vibrant cultures and diverse backgrounds. Despite upliftment initiatives, many socio-economic differences remain. We go beyond production to make it a core value to address these differences by working with community programmes in Cape Town.

    One of the most scenic and most photographed cities is definitely New York. Traffic and crowds of people as well as high prices don’t make it the most ideal production location though. So unless you...

Testimonials

Ralph Hartmann

“I‘ve been working with Magic Mountain Productions ever since they exist and have always appreciated their efficiency and professionalism. From the first time working with Sabina and Magic Mountain Productions I never felt as „just a client“ but also „a friend“ … that‘s very important for me. Thank you for everything!”

Jürgen Hinterleithner

This really needs to be mentioned: even after approximately 20 productions in and around Cape Town, Sabina and her team surprise me over and over again with new, cool locations (and I have very eccentric ideas for my shootings). All of that is topped with fantastic and personal service from Sabina and her magic Team – just perfect.

Carola Linder

In my capacity as an Art Director, I have been working with Magic Mountain Productions for many years. I am relying on a creative and well organized production company as my shoots are normally over a period of several weeks. Therefore the flow of work, as well as timing and efficiency is very important. I am thrilled with the kind of service I get from Magic Mountain and appreciate the personal touch and support very much.

It is not only the people, like Sabina, Mark and Annika, that work with indefatigable commitment in the background but also the crew that looks after the daily needs of every single team member. All staff members do their job with a smile and great expertise. Cape Town is a city that requires reliable support during production in order for the shoot to go smoothly. I think Magic Mountain has chosen the right name for their company as the team is magic.

“I’ll never forget it. It was a rainy day, not only outside but inside as well, because the water was running down the walls. I’m proud of you, Magic Mountain. I say thank God for you because you’ve changed my life. I get things now that before were too difficult to get like my new roof!?”

Maik Scharfscheer
