Gavin Goodman
Cape Town - photographers
Gavin Goodman is an award-winning photographer and visual artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. With two decades of experience in advertising and a background in cinematography, he brings a crafted, concept-driven approach to both commercial and fine art projects. In 2021, Gavin was honored as a Hasselblad Master in the Fine Art category.
Over the past few years, Gavin has developed a refined workflow that integrates AI technology into his creative process - used with intention and restraint to extend the boundaries of image-making while maintaining a strong photographic foundation.
