Capturing the Citywire Annual Retreat at Fancourt

Recently, I had the privilege of photographing the Citywire annual retreat held at the picturesque Fancourt in George. This event brought together professionals from various industries for a series of insightful sessions and networking opportunities. The retreat was a fantastic opportunity to capture the essence of corporate interactions and dynamic presentations.

Event Highlights

One of the standout moments was the conference session with Rene Naylor. Her presentation was both engaging and informative, and it was a joy to capture her in action. Rene Naylor is a renowned physiotherapist specialising in sports injuries, with extensive experience working with elite athletes, including the South African national rugby team. Her insights on health and performance were a highlight of the retreat.

The Setting

Fancourt in George provided a stunning backdrop for the retreat. The venue's elegant design and beautiful surroundings added a touch of sophistication to the event, making it an ideal location for corporate gatherings. Although the event I covered did not include outdoor activities, the indoor settings were perfect for capturing professional interactions and presentations.

Photography Approach

For this event, my approach was to blend into the background and capture candid moments that truly represent the spirit of the retreat. I aimed to highlight the speakers, the engaged audience, and the interactions between attendees. By focusing on these elements, I was able to create a comprehensive visual story of the Citywire retreat. Additionally, I delivered images throughout the event for immediate use on social media, ensuring that the organisers had fresh content to share in real-time.
