*** NAVIGATING LOCKDOWN ***
I am able to create photographic content and recipes from my home studio in Cape Town. I have access to props accumulated over the years and I am able to style and shoot on my own with images sent for remote approval. If a preferred stylist is required, we are able to create a safe space to practice the necessary precautions to keep ourselves safe and healthy. We have obtained the necessary certification from the CIPC to work during Level 4.
Photographer, Videographer and Food Stylist, Hein van Tonder is a native South African with a combination of local, continental and global creative experiences.
In December 2019 he won Food Photographer of the Year in the Admired in Africa awards. He was awarded Highly Commended in the global Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year competition in 2020 and 2019 having won the Food Bloggers category in 2017. This was the 7th time van Tonder has been a finalist in this world-respected food photography competition.
His popular blog and Instagram account Heinstirred feature inspiring easy to make at home recipes and delicious food photography images.
His work includes photography and videography, recipe development, cooking in the kitchen and global tasting of all things food, lifestyle and interiors, always contributing to and featuring his work across popular magazines, blogs, websites and social media accounts for clients across the globe.
His career transition to the creative world has been very recent having packed in a career as an accountant with a calculator for a camera to realise his passion and skill as a Director of Photography.
