Hi I am Sarel Johannes Visagie
I was born and raised in Klerksdorp, North West, South Africa. From a young age, creativity and imaginary things constantly filled my brainwaves, from telling elaborate stories with my Legos to drawing maps on my textbooks and using all my stationery to portray characters in a world within those pages.
Art & storytelling quickly became a passion, enough to get me enrolled in an after-school art school by the age of 12, and soon, photography as an after-school program in my first year of high school. That same year, I got my first DSLR and also had the opportunity to go to Europe on a photography tour - I have not stopped taking photos since I came back that year.
I started taking photos as a freelancer throughout the last years of high school and my years studying Graphic Design, which has taught me a lot about the process (from the photoshoot all the way through to editing) as well as improved my communication with potential customers.
Now I am chasing my passions with photography, to take incredible photos no matter where I go, and keep building a better portfolio no matter what I see in my viewfinder. I have an unquenchable thirst for growth with every photo I take.
