Hunter Management is an exclusive South African-based creative artist management agency representing photographers, stylists, make-up artists and hair stylists who specialise in advertising, motion pictures, television commercials, magazine and corporate productions. 

As a budding agency, its artists - whether highly accomplished or young talents -share a professional and imaginative mindset. Creative’s continuously venture to further the strengths of their specific gift, consistently producing breathtaking work no matter what projects are undertaken.  

Hunter Management’s source of satisfaction comes from setting itself apart by incorporating and supporting artists that are inspired and who desire to push creative boundaries, whilst always providing clients with the sought-after outcome.  

An idea is only as good as the support it has from its conception; that strength and follow through is the foundation that Katherine, owner of the agency and her team push to attain, for artists and clients alike. 

Stephen Greeff's passion is photography and his love for imagery allows him to explore natural lifestyle, fashion and Photoshop manipulation.

His emotional and energetic style of photography is executed at a high level, while his ability to capture free movement and interaction between complex settings has made him a highly sought-after photographer. 

His relaxed attitude and creative outlook creates a team environment.

In recent years, Stephen has been capturing motion pictures on his sets. His realisation of natural moments between people is well documented and often made into short commercial films.

“It's becoming essential for clients to shoot both media on set because the brand recognition is much stronger through the consistency with imagery and motion,” he says.

EuroConnection is a full service photographic and film production company based in Cape Town. Producing photo and moving images, primarily online footage,  the company is known to source the right people for each individual job, producing within given budgets and offering production expertise for each brief.

This latest Showcase features the work of top photographers Simon Upton, Viviane Sassen and Alexa Singer.

The Australian brand Portman’s was modelled by Australian celebrity Abbey Lee Kershaw who has signed-on for her first on-screen role in 'Mad Max 4'.

Viviane Sassen shot for Numéro edition 134 and Alexa Singer shot the Always  worldwide campaign.

"We're ready to produce all your upcoming spring/summer 2013 campaigns and hope to welcome you soon to our beautiful city."
