I’m Devin Thiart, a Cape Town-based photographer and filmmaker focused on telling raw, dynamic narratives in the automotive and outdoor adventure commercial space. I hold an official accreditation from Motorsport South Africa.

My background comes from a world of motion and adventure; I completed my BA in Motion Design in 2018 and have since worked as a freelance photographer and videographer, capturing and editing numerous projects. Since my youth, I’ve had a passion for adventure and action sports, competing in ice hockey, surfing, kite-surfing, motorsport, downhill mountain biking, and rock climbing. This experience shapes my dynamic approach to adventure photography, as I once stood on the other side of the lens as an athlete.

For the past 4 years, I have worked with marketing agencies as a YouTube consultant. In this role, I managed video editing teams, planned strategies, and scripted videos that have accumulated over 8.5 million views.

I’ve had the opportunity to direct and assist leading industry photographers and videographers, gaining experience in running commercial shoots, filmmaking, video editing, animation, and directing.

My client list includes Isuzu South Africa, Getaway magazine, Cape Union Mart, Sloom, HiTec, Walker Bay Outdoor, Mitchell’s Brewery, Backdraft Racing, Motorsport South Africa, and the 10s Series, among others.

I’ve also been featured in magazines and online publications such as Sentimetal, Motorpress, Triathlon SBR magazine, and Motorsport South Africa.
