WE ARE DNA

Hi! Awesome to meet you. We are Desmond Louw and Antonia Heil.
A photo, video, and directing creative duo based in Cape Town (South Africa) and Germany. We produce stills and videos for big and small brands.

NEVER NOT WOR{KING}

Our careers originally started in engineering and journalism before expanding into photography, videography and producing, where we discovered our niche in car, commercial and people based photography. DNA was established in 2009 and has been a successful company, actively contributing to the creative industry in South Africa and Germany ever since.
