[automotive] Road tripping with the mu-X was such a treat after months of lockdown. South Africa showed its most beautiful side; we’ve never seen this country so colorful, there were flowers everywhere.
Click here to look at the lifestyle shoot we did with this mu-X.
[automotive] We loved driving the ISUZU mu-X as much as shooting it! This car has so much space, it was the perfect road trip vehicle. We spent a day around Cape Town with our awesome models Sheralle and Jared and their precious baby, showcasing that this is a wonderful family car. 😉
[commercial] We shot these advertorials for a couple of Media 24 magazines (Men’s Health, Bicycling, Women’s Health, Weg!, Weg! Ry & Sleep, Go, Go Drive & Camp). The star of the shoot was the New Toyota Fortuner Epic.
Great crew, lekker vibes, and loads of fun!
[commercial] A couple of weeks ago, when businesses finally opened up again, we got to shoot the Reeds garage and the ISUZU Truck Centre in Cape Town. The message: we are open for service! We had a fun time documenting the mechanics doing what they do best. Shot for ISUZU South Africa.
[TVC / commercial] We had the amazing opportunity to shoot the stills for an international BMW ad in our beloved Cape Town. Long hours, stress, hurry up and wait and everything else packed into four days. Thank you to everyone involved! Ad produced locally by Giant Films, internationally by Tempomedia. Launched last week, have a look at the ad on youtube.
[automotive] Red against blue (Cape Town sky and the sea) just works. It was wonderful driving the ISUZU X-Rider automatic. It’s a smooth city car for the bakkie lovers. These shots are for the ISUZU press kit.
[automotive] Another Porsche Track Experience season in the bag – 2019 was amazing! We photographed all over on Europe’s greatest race tracks, produced lot’s of content, met old friends and made new ones. It’s awesome being part of the Porsche family. Thanks to everyone! We get to work with the best on this special brand!
[commercial] We just got back from a trip to Portugal shooting for Porsche at the beautiful Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimao. We can’t wait to share more images but for now it will be the very highlight: shooting the Taycan, Porsche’s first full on electric car. As Desmond said: “I have a new benchmark when it comes to acceleration. Before yesterday the benchmark was the power you feel when you lose control of a 9m2 c-kite in the Cape Town southeaster 😂 The Taycan is here and it is awesome inside and out. It sounds like a X-fighter in Star Wars with ⚡️.” Thanks to Lars for drifting like a boss so close to the tracking car 🙏

[advertorial] We drove to Wupperthal and did the donkey trail in the Cederberg mountains. What a blast!! Check the airtime Antonia got in one of the shots. 😂
To see Wupperthal after the devastating fires from New Year’s Eve 2018 was really sad. Much of the historic town was destroyed. Though, we met locals who were super positive with the rebuilding. #sterkte
Shot for British Airways’ inflight magazine High Life.
[advertorial] The new Toyota Corolla (2019) pleasantly surprised us. The interior is beautiful, the exterior fresh and the ride super comfortable. We were asked by British Airways’ inflight magazine High Life to take her to Muizenberg and Kalk Bay and have a colourful shoot. The weather didn’t play along but we made the best of it!
[automotive] Last weekend was big! Shooting a F1 car is probably on every car photographer’s list and boy oh boy did I shoot a F1 car. We took the car to the unfinished highway in Cape Town early Friday morning to shoot some photos for the Saturday newspaper. On Saturday we shot the car together with the whole team – including David Coulthard – for a short film (Can’t wait for the release of this!). Sunday was the big event where the absolute power and sound of this piece of engineering stunned the whole of Cape Town!
South Africa is so hungry to host a F1 event again, hearing that sound of the V8 bouncing between the buildings of Darling street gave me goosebumps all over!
Thank you Red Bull for the gig and thanks for Wayne Reichie and Craig Kolesky for all the support and good times. DNA – Desmond
[automotive] Two weeks ago, I (Antonia) headed to Germany to join the g-force training session of the Porsche Track Experience. Rain, even snow and a great team made this another fun experience. How slick is the new 992 Carrera S? It’s such an honour working with such a great brand. DNA – Antonia
[commercial] Two days of shooting the print version alongside the TV commercial for Peugeot France was intense and awesome! Thanks to ROBOT, Standard Films and BETC Paris – great working with y’all!
[advertorial] When British Airways’ inflight magazine High Life gave us this Volvo XC60, the only brief was to focus on design. So we did. We just love what Volvo is doing on the inside and out. 🙌
[travels] My buddy Roy and I (Desmond) took our bikes and did a circular route around the Western Cape. We didn’t book any accommodation and just took it as it came. We met so many characters in the Tankwa and everywhere we went. South Africans are just the best, humble, friendly and helpful people. Here are some photos Roy and myself took.
[advertorial] A lovely morning out with Peter Frost while shooting the new Kia Sorento for British Airways’ inflight magazine High Life. We went to Franschhoek in the Western Cape. The Kia really impressed me in performance and good build quality.

[automotive] A real purist car. Shot for a private client. We’ve seen this ‘Beast of the Green Hell’ at the Nordschleife in Germany, but it’s also looking slick down here in Africa.
[automotive] The Ferrari 458 is one of those Ferraris that sold very well and the reason is simple: it is beautiful. Sooo easy shooting this car. Lines for days and a car looking good at any angle.
[automotive] ISUZU Extended Cab – we got to shoot this great car on our recent visit to PE for ISUZU Motors South Africa.
