Act Casual is Travis Mc Neill, a commercial photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa.
My areas of interest are broad, from lifestyle orientated hospitality projects to interiors and decor, studio product images, retouching, as well as portraiture.
I am most interested in collaborating with individuals or companies in the hospitality and resort industry to create strong brand images of beautiful people, inspiring places and moving spaces that add value and have lasting commercial impact for my clients.
I've had a long career as a high end wedding photographer covering big budget celebrations in Cape Town and some other beautiful parts of the world.
15 years of covering dynamic, lively and highly aesthetic events has taught me to think and move fast while making images. Sometimes there is no shot list or art department only what is in front of you and whether or not you see and manage to grab it before it is gone.
Working solo in this way has fundamentally influenced my attitude to commercial work.
I enjoy creating commercial work that fits the brief and also leans into creative spontaneity when it presents itself. I work best with small, highly skilled teams who are happy to get stuck in and collaborative clients who are invested in a project for the right reasons.
Get in touch if you are interested in making some great commercial art together.
