KFC - Streetwise 2 (Ogilvy Johannesburg)

Im very much on the mission to put up some of my Advertising work at the moment. Really enjoyed shooting this campaign, they let me do my thing, it was all lit available light using huge reflectors as lighting.

It was also a pleasure to work under the direction of Justice Mukheli (I see a different you).

Team Rwanda - Worldwide Cylcing Atlas (it)

Been at Fabrica in Italy for one year in 2010 was one of the best experiences of my life, I was humbled and got to meet some of the most talented and insightful individuals from around the world. Two years have passed and I was approached by one of my colleagues (Matteo de Mayda) in Treviso, Italy, where Fabrica is based to work on a project of his called the Worldwide Cycling Atlas.

I was commissioned by the website sponsored by bicycle seat company Selle Royal, to shoot a story about the Rwanda Cycling Team. I have posted the video and some of the images of the riders who where phenomenal in every way. I feel privileged and amazed by the experience.

Sprite Be Uncontainable

I never really put up advertising work onto my blog and thought it was about time. There are a couple of billboard campaigns floating around South Africa which I wanted to feature, the first one being for Sprite, which I shot earlier this year. It was for the Uncontainable campaign, which climaxed in a concert last week in Johannesburg featuring Talib Kweli. The ads where made by Ogilvy Johannesburg under the Art Direction Zach Nossel.

Check it out.

LV feat. Okmalumkoolkat - Spitting Cobra Music Video

So the second video for LV feat. Okmalumkoolkat is now out. The irony with this video is the fact that I shot it before the Sebenza video. We actually wanted to launch this one to introduce Okmalumkoolkat to the international scene and the drop the total madness in the Sebenza video, instead it came as a slow me downer after the fact.

Enjoy!
