Sourcing Local: Why Interior Designers are Turning to Cape Town Landscape Photography for High-End Projects
Interior designers for projects in Cape Town and the Winelands often face the difficult problem of sourcing high-quality large scale landscape prints from South Africa; high-end houses, villas, farms, vineyards, or corporate offices have big walls that need the appropriate size artwork to fill the space. Working with high-resolution cameras and professional upscaling workflows, Murray Livingston Photography is able to produce large scale landscape prints in South Africa that exceed 2 meters wide while still maintaining crisp quality. This ability to craft prints at bespoke sizes sets his work apart within Cape Town’s high-end market.
Large Scale Wildlife Prints for High-End Homes in Cape Town and Bush Lodges in Southern Africa
South Africa is undeniably one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Cape Town, having recently ranked as one of the top cities in the world to live in, is seeing an increasing demand to bring this natural beauty into luxury interiors through “biophilic design”, i.e. the desire for fine art landscape photography that captures the local environment. Murray Livingston Photography is based in Paarl at the heart of the wine region; local art produced by a local artist creates an emotional anchor in a space. It’s not just a talking piece, but a focal point that grounds the architectural experience to place and culture.
Additionally, Murray Livingston Photography provides interior designer art sourcing in Cape Town, South Africa, including access to bespoke photography for interiors. By offering a range of open and limited edition African Landscape Art, Murray protects the designer’s reputation by providing unique pieces to their clients. Each art consultation takes into consideration a detailed briefing, space requirements, client interests, emotive responses to different subject matters, and exclusive access to work not found in commercial environments. Murray Livingston Photography works directly with designers rather than through large retailers. Ordering prints is always a bespoke process that Murray personally handles to insure the best possible results.
