Godox SA Brand Ambassadors
Andre Badenhorst
Behind the lens and ahead of his time, Andre Badenhorst is an eagle-eyed, streetwise visionary rock stargazer. A conceptual acrobat who always shoots to thrill. He’s old school, but in vogue. Laidback, friendly, and always up for shenanigans, Andre has established himself as one of the most sought after photographers in South Africa.
What has set Andre apart from the rest, is his ability to translate his unique visual narrative, conceptual vision, and rock and roll vibe into a vast array of genres, applications, and photographic disciplines, seamlessly transitioning between live and studio environments. It is exactly this creative versatility and visual nous that has led to him becoming a mainstay in the South African rock and roll community.
His passion for rock and his rare ability to hit the right notes when it comes to capturing the pure adrenaline and raw attitude of the music in both studio and live settings, have established him as the photographer of choice for some of SA’s biggest acts including Fokofpolisiekar, Francois Van Coke, Jack Parow, Die Heuwels Fantasties, The Parlotones and Silvablack.
Andre’s keen eye for detail, authentic approach to portraiture and conceptual photography, along with his knack for capturing pure, true and honest emotions has also led him to work on a myriad of commercial shoots and video productions. His work has been featured in highly respected publications showcasing big names like Gerard Rudolf, Chantel Dartnall, Neels van Jaarsveld, and Neil Sandilands.
His impressive body of work subsequently resulted in him being chosen to become a prestigious Fujifilm ambassador in 2016 – an achievement which brings him great pride.

Craig Anderson
Hi
I’m Craig,
I was born here, and then grew up (I think). Along the way I went to a great school where I learnt about important things. I am a simple guy who loves taking photographs and spending time with my family. I have lived in different cities and worked for different famous brands. Then I ended up back here. Photography will undoubtedly drive me insane someday. I don’t photograph subjects. I photograph the way they make me feel, it’s a bit strange I know, but it’s the best way to describe what I do. If this is all you ever know about me, it’s enough to say you know me very well.
Godox has been part of my journey for as far back as I want to remember and has been there through thick and thin and I’m sure will be with me as this crazy journey continues.
KREATE PHOTOGRAPHY ACADEMY has allowed me to grow as an educator and mentor, with clients in SA, USA and the UK. This part of my business has become an integral part of my day to day activities.
I have recently been appointed as an educator and creator at BREED ACADEMY, owned by the world renowned fashion photographer, Melissa Rodwell form the USA.
