Keith Bernstein to shoot on No.1 Ladies Detective Agency

Leading unit-stills photographer Keith Bernstein has been hired for an 8 weeks shoot on No.1 Ladies Detective Agency. Anthony Minghella will direct the film based on the best-selling book by Alexander McCall Smith.

Shooting on No.1 Ladies Detective Agency begins in Botswana in July - and the producers have hired Cape Town based unit stills photographer Keith Bernstein to shoot all the stills for the 8 weeks shoot. Keith has previously shot unit stills all over the world, and worked with Robin Williams in Hawaii, Bob Hoskins in Nepal and the late Christopher reeve in California.


For No.1 Ladies, Cape Town model makers Rivets&Rockets have built a custom-made sound proof camera blimp, enabling high-end digital stills cameras to be used safely on set.

Skoda Fabia - Full of lovely stuff

To demonstrate the super-awesomosity of its Fabia, Skoda lets users watch them build one. Out of cake ingredients.
