About Estee aka Bestee :)

I'm a creative photographer and social-first video creator helping clients to put their best face forward.

I'm a visual storyteller and doodling, filming and photography make me light up with joy (also making playlists, I think I missed my calling as a DJ).

After studying journalism (undergrad in Joburg, post-grad at Stellenbosch) and living in Bloemfontein in the Free State for a year, I moved to Cape Town, where I worked at the e-commerce fashion retailer Spree, followed by the TV production company that produces shows like Top Billing, Expresso, Pasella and Afternoon Express. Next I worked at Cape Town Tourism where it was my day job to market and explore one of the coolest cities in the world. I started freelancing full-time in 2018 and I'm happiest with a camera or ice cream (or both) in hand.

After living in the countryside of Ibaraki in Japan for two years, I'm back in business in Cape Town. While in Japan I got to explore film photography and get more studio experience. Check out my blog to see my most recent projects.

My friends describe me as friendly, warm, and quirky. I love meeting new people and finding out what makes them tick. If you're a person, let's meet! If you're a fish, let's swim!
