ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

My name is Shaun Thomas, I am a professional photographer & videographer, and over the last fifteen years have successfully built my own production company. I have worked with all types of companies around South Africa, bringing their visions and products to life through visual content creation. From the capturing of personal and memorable family events and occasions to commercial products and international events, I strive to capture the story, atmosphere and emotion behind each shoot.

Growing up in a small farming community in the Eastern Cape molded my character into one of independence, trust, and innovation. Small communities thrive by uniting skills and sharing ideas, and this is the value I bring to your projects . . . whatever you need, we'll make a plan!

I would love to work with you, so let's chat to see how I can best help you find solutions to your challenges. I am also open to most trades and believe there is always an opportunity to learn and grow from one another.

TESTIMONIALS

Jonathan Hardy

Private International Client (USA)

"I cannot begin to say enough about Shaun and his TGVphoto company!

I scheduled a destination photo shoot for an engagement proposal at Bakubung Bush Lodge and the Pilanesberg game park. Shaun’s professionalism and skill with the camera is unparalleled. He made the entire event easy and fun.

Shaun takes the time to really learn about the people he is photographing and does an extremely good job of capturing the feeling of the moment.

If you are looking for someone who is professional, friendly and very talented with the camera, then Shaun is your guy. He made the whole event an experience that we will cherish for a lifetime. I cannot thank him enough and we hope to use him again sometime soon!"

"Shaun is such an asset to any company. Easy to get along with and always professional.

He has many times gotten me out of sticky situations when extremely tight deadlines arise.

He has a great creative flare and knows how to follow briefs to bring ideas to life. His photography and design skills often exceed expectations.

I would recommend him over and over."

Facilities Management

"Shaun took the Portrait photos for our Facilities Management department, which comprises approximately 50 people.

Making the appointment with him was a pleasure. On the appointed day, he arrived in good time to set up his equipment so that he was ready to get on with the task at hand as soon as were. The process ran smoothly as he was extremely patient, and kind to the staff, showing each of them their photos to confirm if they found them acceptable.

Once completed, Shaun made sure that everything was packed up and removed from the site, and the photos were sent through to me in a timeous manner. Everyone was thrilled at how well he had captured us with such high quality photographs.

I recommend Shaun and hold him in the highest regard due to his professionalism and friendliness, and making sure everyone was at ease when having their photographs taken. I would recommend him to anyone whether it be corporate photographs, weddings, or family photos, just to name a few."
