Snapshot Photography

Snapshot Photography Focused on adventure, driven by passion, and inspired by the world around us.

Based in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa, Sean Lourens is the passionate photographer behind Snapshot Photography. Specializing in landscape and sports photography, Sean’s journey into professional photography began in 2024, though his fascination with the art has spanned many years. From an early age, he was captivated by the beauty of the world around him — especially the rugged moun

tains and crashing oceans of his home country. With a camera in hand, Sean discovered a way to freeze these fleeting moments of wonder, sharing them with others and allowing them to see the world through his eyes.

Freezing cold wind, heavy rain, and relentless conditions. Jonkershoek putting on a proper winter welcome.

A few highlight frames from the Jonkershoek Mountain Challenge 2026 by . Keeping the camera dry and the lens clean was a sport of its own out there, but the runners absolutely smashed it despite the tough conditions.

Kudos to everyone who lined up! Full image gallery available at Wildrunner.

Trail running is better together. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨

Looking back at some highlights from the TSSL Kirstenbosch event in January. This race is always a highlight for the families. Seeing the kids tackle the night trails with so much grit and excitement is the best part of the job.

Nothing beats a summer evening on the mountain with the whole family!

The Rock Ultra 2025 – Finish Line

From short courses to those who ran through the night covering 100km around Paarl Mountain, every finish told a story of grit, fatigue, and raw emotion.

Reflecting on an incredible morning from three weeks ago at the 2025 in Cape Town.

This was my second year documenting the race, and the energy seems to reach a new level every time. This rugged stretch of coastline is a photographer’s dream, though I think the athletes would agree it's a bit more "breath-taking" for them than it is for me!

Immense respect to everyone who braved the elements. I’ve put together a gallery of my favorite moments capturing the grit and the scenery.
