M.S. Retief
Cape Town
Director of Photography
About
I’m a Cape Town–based creative working in the camera department, with a love for visual storytelling and life behind the lens. I’m especially passionate about wildlife filmmaking and have spent time working on documentaries across Central Africa, capturing stories in some incredible places. I also shoot a mix of fashion and brand work, bringing a cinematic eye and solid technical experience to every project. Whether it’s in the bush or on set, I’m all about creating strong, authentic visuals that feel alive.
