Harbour road,  Kleinmond Western Cape was the selected venue for Joe Lategan's new Photographic gallery, multi media office and bistro for a few reasons. "Firstly I always thought to it would be great to be based in what is called the "Worlds greatest biosphere" for a nature photographer firstly due to the opportunities it presents To capture the diverse species and land and seascapes over a long period and secondly the tranquility as a base ensures that one is in the right frame of mind should you do the so important editing following lengthy road trips. Last but not least it is a not too commercialized location so it allows the gallery to be marketed as a destiny as it is  not located on a major route detracting from the authenticity".
