About us

BEHIND THE LENS

Thank you for visiting here

welcome

HELLO, Iā€™M Claire Koenig.

I am a professional Photographer living in Hilton with my husband, daughter and a menagerie fur kids.

I have worked as a photographer for many years, but what I love most is connecting with people and their unique, crazy, quirky, heartfelt, honest emotional stories.

I am not great with words but photos communicate and tell a story and I love that.

  • Qualifications in photography and teaching (so a people lover)
  • 15 years experience
  • Plenty of patience
“You made us feel so comfortable and your passion for what you do shone through. We appreciate the care and attention you put into each photo you took. We absolutely love these photos and will treasure these moments for the rest of our lives”

welcome

I am Etienne Koenig

Being French-Mauritian, my family growing up was big, full of colour, variety and fun. As a small child, I would often creep out of bed and sit on the steps listening to the laughing voices around dinner table, invariably falling asleep there. I have always been drawn to the warmth and connection between family and people.

After graduating with a degree in interior design and majoring in photography, I spend may years travelling and working as a photographer before finally finding my way back home to SA.
