Ryan Kruger is South Africa's top music video director. His commercials are pretty awesome too! His work has been nominated by MTV Africa and his recent video "Doors " for rock band Prime Circle won Best Video of the Year at the South African Music Awards. Ryan's style is sometimes dark, sometimes light but always has a strong, cinematic narrative. His desire is to move more into directing feature films.

Behind The Scenes with Photographer Josie Borain and Actress Kim Engelbrecht.
Josie Borain and I met up with Roddy Quin of Real Concerts at quaint Rose Cottage to shoot the publicity images for South Africa's rising star, actress Kim Engelbrecht. The setting seemed a little subtle seeing as the last time I saw Kim, she was running around a desolate landscape with a semi automatic weapon, in the American action TV series Dominion. Kim arrived and as the day progressed, we found Kim to be fun and down to earth, which is a rare commodity for actresses who have worked with legends like Colin Firth and Helen Mirren. Josie Borain is the go-to photographer in South Africa for local and international actors and celebrities. She has photographed actor Jared Leto and actress Taryn Manning for Interview Magazine, and, being a celebrity herself, has documented countless high profile individuals over the years. Here are a few images from our day with Kim. Josie Borain is represented by Artists & Legends Creative Management. You can view her portfolio here.

Dreams do come true & its the stuff rainbows are made of... TomTom World Wide - Lukkien Holland
I was an Adrenal Fiend. I loved Production, it was my playing field. I loved working a job / being on set / saving major crises at warp speed / and all the other sublime stuff I would encounter on a minute to minute basis. I was hooked... I was not convinced I wanted my own company in this crazy production world, despite my clients asking me to step up .... and then I went on my own.. the reason?
This is for another story, which involves fate, wolves & that indescribable magic.... But once I had decided to root myself in Africa, a fellow producer solidified my desires into reality, with the TomTom worldwide campaign... and what ensued can only be relayed with true conviction, through visual aid. . . (Warning, we have fun as fun is part of the creative process. We love what we do and we produce more than just good work.) Team TomTom....Nov 2014
