Pretoria from the back of a Vespa

By In Life

Picture this, you’re on the back of a Vespa in Pretoria. Wind in your hair, Jacaranda blossoms blowing past, the city is your playground and you’re cruising along all the Pretoria sights. Life doesn’t get much better than that, what if we told you it doesn’t only have to be a dream.

In December 2014 Igersjozi and the Vespa club teamed up for a day of photography and two wheeled fun. Zipping through the Joburg streets the instagrammers taught the Vespa drivers some tips and tricks about mobile photography and together they ventured around building skills and friendships.

Pretoria on a Vespa

Now we’re bringing it to Pretoria. The concept is fairly simple. In collaboration with Urban Barista, the Pretoria Vespa club, 012central, Central Pizza company and some Pretoria Instagrammers we’ll be pairing photographers and Vespa riders for a day of exploring in the 012.

Calling photographers

Do you feel you take decent photos? Can you offer some photography tips and will you manage hanging onto the back of a Vespa? This is for you!

 

Calling Vespa riders

Do you own a Vespa? Are you interested in photography, will you take a photographer as passenger and lend them a helmet. This is for you!
