Some of the successful campaigns and jobs landed, to mention a few, are Beuer, BMW, Esquire Magazine, Marc O’Polo, In Black Magazine and the face of the new Avon Fragrance Rebel x Diva, South Pole, and Kenneth Cole.

Hoops Productions
PHOTO & FILM PRODUCTION
''Every so often Hoops gets asked to produce somewhere else in the world, this season was no exception with two adventures up North with our good friends at Go Outdoors and photographer Justin Badenhorst. In July we travelled to Iceland with its black volcanic beaches, impossibly green vegetation and out of this world rock formations carved by centuries of ice flow.
Keeping the epic theme we headed to Switzerland in September, shooting skiwear on the spectacular Matterhon Glacier in Zermatt, postcard picturesque perfect!
We were tourists in our own backyard with Tourlane, shooting on top of Table Mountain, The V&A Waterfront and at various wine farms, followed by a road trip through Knysna to shoot the beautiful Garden Route and all its offerings.
Recent productions include:
- Schneider Electric with The Creative Lab shot by Alistair Hood.
- Skate Groms with photographer Casey Bertie.
- Ellesse & Nautica with Focus International shot by Rick Whittle.
- Ellesse Kids with Focus International shot by Casey Bertie.
- Signia with Ogilvy London directed by Dougal Paterson and DOP Sacha Specker.
- Fat Face shot by Sean Cook and art directed by Phil Hobbis.

Alain Proust
Advertising photographers
"My location work is counterbalanced by technical studio photography, like pack shots and liquid in motion photography which are very challenging but satisfying experiments.
Advertising work is intense and very demanding but short-lived especially these days, for social media productions. As a creative person, I’ve had to find a way to express myself on a longer-term and have longer-lasting projects. That is how I found myself an author (photographically) of around 30 publications on different subjects (cookbooks, colonial architecture, Winelands etc..).
I am sometimes asked if I intend to retire and my answer is: retire from what? I am living my passion and it has been a fantastic journey so far. Why end it?"
