Tilting Tripods Photography was built on a shared passion for storytelling through images. Founded by Jean-Marie Meyer and Madelein Mc Lellan, our focus has always been on capturing the spirit of academic life — from first smiles to graduation milestones. We work closely with schools to make every session organized, stress-free, and meaningful for both learners and staff.
With over a decade of experience in school and event photography, we’ve grown into a trusted creative partner for schools across Mpumalanga, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo. Each project is handled with care, consistency, and a personal touch that ensures schools receive more than photos — they receive memories worth keeping.
We aim to bridge the gap between traditional school photography and modern visual artistry — offering schools and learners a professional yet personal experience that celebrates every chapter of their journey.
We see a future where Tilting Tripods Photography expands nationally — partnering with schools across provinces, empowering young talent, and setting new standards for storytelling and quality in academic photography.
We promise consistency, reliability, and creativity in every shoot. From lighting to delivery, every photo is handled with care and precision — creating genuine, lasting memories for schools, learners, and families.
At Tilting Tripods Photography, our strength lies in collaboration. Every project is guided by a shared commitment to precision, creativity, and service. Together, we manage each shoot from planning to delivery — ensuring every school receives a complete, professional experience from start to finish.
