Cape Town photographer & videographer Meet Red Beard.

Your vibe, your tribe, my lens.

My name is Kobus Pretorius and I am the face and creative behind Red Beard Photo & Film. To me, photography and videography is about more than merely documenting moments, it is about telling stories and evoking emotions. I am driven by a commitment to capture the essence and spirit of people, and I believe every image holds a narrative.

Kobus took my daughter's matric dance photos and they are stunning. He is so friendly and relaxed, which really helped to put two excited and nervous teenagers at ease.
