Services offered

I am a self-driven business owner and photographer with five years experience collaborating with clients in the corporate space. My primary focus the last couple years has been wedding photoshoots and corporate videos. Shooting weddings amplified my natural charisma because in the wedding photography space one must acquire the ability to make people feel comfortable in a short amount of time. Corporate shoots taught me professional work etiquette, teamwork and problem-solving.

Experience

In July 2017 I started working at Bentron Productions as the lead photographer and Drone Operator for events and I directed a team of 4-5 people at corporate functions, festivals, NGOs and private individuals. Worked with large firms such as Transnet, RBIZ and Multisport. In 2019 I took over the ownership of the company and I was responsible for the employers under my care and 50+ annual client roster.

November of 2018, I did a short internship at PhotoFirst in Empangeni, KZN. During this internship I collaborated with two experienced photographers prodicing photoshppts fpr individuals and school students. During this time I sharpened my knowledge on Photoshop Retouch, photo manipulation, color correction, cloning and digital camera use.

Currently I am the co-founder of Bay Media (Pty) Ltd, a production house capturing unique moments at various events that specialize in highly captivating studio portraits for personal and professional use. I am primarily responsible for sales and marketing.
