Ogilvy SA approached me to produce the 2022 print campaign for Audi South Africa.
I was tasked with casting & capturing a range of images that offer an authentic representation of the South African market, as opposed to using images from Audi Germany. I was also asked to source locations that would show the vehicles’ off-road capabilities, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
