BUSINESS PORTRAIT # 3 A Message on Mothers Day



BY ERIKA

When Martin and I started talking about which image to use on social media for Mothers Day, I immediately recalled the portrait we did for the very resilient and enterprising mother-and-daughter team of one of the greatest business assets of the Overberg region. 

In 1993 Ilse Appelgryn started Kapula, a free trade enterprise that specialises in handcrafted candles and ceramics, and distributes from the tip of Africa to across the world. About four years ago after completing her studies and gaining experience with a top retail company Anke joined as assistant creative director.

It is some time since we spent two wonderful days photographing the Kapula people, products and processes for their website. 

But these touching images of mother and daughter bantering and laughing while posing for their professional portraits, remain some of my favourite shots of that assignment. 

And the perfect message for Mothers Day.
