Over the past 30 years Des Kleineibst has become recognised as one of the leading automotive advertising photographers producing exceptional commercial images for almost every brand of car and truck in the South African market and beyond.

Des specialises in car stills and motion, 360º VR video, CGI, 360 exterior and interior virtual tours and landscapes, and he is as much at home on location as he is in the studio.

Due to the fantastic diverse range of locations and the light, Des and his highly effective small team are based in Cape Town.

Recent clients include Lexus, Toyota, Isuzu, Ford, Opel and Chevrolet.

Des’ combination of German heritage and Virgo traits with a 'no prima donna' attitude leads to his mantra - every shoot must be delivered on time and within budget no matter the circumstances.

A life-long car enthusiast, Des’ passion leads to personal projects photographing classic and exotic car collections for collectors worldwide.

Des is seeking representation.
