Behind the Lens...

I’m Donovan Marais — a Johannesburg-based producer and photographer with over 16 years of experience shaping powerful visual stories across Southern Africa.

My work spans automotive, portraiture, and still life photography — with a commercial sensibility and a strong creative twist. Whether I’m shooting food, people, or machines, lighting is my signature. It’s the craft I’ve mastered and the tool I use to bring clarity, drama, and emotion to every frame. My producing expertise allows me to bridge logistics and creativity seamlessly, helping brands translate their vision into refined visual content.
