A Cape Town production service company with over 20 years on set
Steel is a Cape Town-based production services company with over 20 years of experience producing stills and motion across South Africa, the rest of Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands and beyond. We have a lifetime of working together. We're down-to-earth and fun-loving, and we're really good at what we do.
From photo production to film and motion production, we love working with like-minded clients and crew. Together we've grown an extended production family who all value playing nice while doing great work. We tailor every stills and motion production to the individual needs of our clients. We handpick our legendary South African crew and attend to every detail, so even the most challenging briefs go beyond expectations.

We have a responsibility to our planet, its inhabitants and generations to follow.
Sustainability
We take steps to tread lightly, to act responsibly and to be sustainable in our office and on set. We work with like-minded crew who share our ethos, and we've partnered with green initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of our shoots.
Supporting local
We are proud of our South African heritage and the creativity of our people. One of our missions is to support local businesses wherever we shoot.
Inclusivity
We endeavour to be inclusive and unbiased in all our work. We recognise the need in our industry for sustainable transformation to include people who have been historically under-represented, and we support up-and-coming talent by sharing skills and knowledge across our teams.
What clients and photographers say
“The whole Steel team were a dream to work with. From the moment we landed into Cape Town we were looked after warmly and treated like long standing friends and collaborators. The full crew were slick, collaborative and nothing was too much trouble. We all had a fantastic time on set and had a truly brilliant experience shooting for the first time in Cape Town. We'd love to come back and work together again - big thank you to Andre, Caryn and the team.”
“Steel Productions are like family to me. Rock steady, great company and flawless in their professional application. Whenever I have made requests, regardless of how outrageous, there is always a professional squad, dripping with gaffer tape and Leathermans, prepared to hold down the easy-ups, scare off the snakes and make it happen.”
“We just loved working with the awesome team at Steel on this production. The guys were all brilliant in every department, both on the stills shoot and on the film. We could see everyone working incredibly hard and conscientiously, but also with great enthusiasm and humour. We had the best shoot, and also a really fun time.”
