Experience
Brig has shot on over 100 international television commercials, with portraits of people as diverse as Andy Green (land speed record holder), people of the Pondo tribe, Jimmy Nevis and Royals in Arabia. She has taught at Orms School of Photography and Vega college in Cape Town. She received another award from EyeEm for Most Eye-Catching Pictures of the year in 2017.

Dreamscapes and strong colours are prominent in her work whether she is shooting a lifestyle campaign, landscape or fashion editorial. She has a contagious laugh and a determination beyond her years, along with an incredible eye for the sublime and a willingness to hop in a car/truck/plane/
sidecar/boat without notice if it means she can shoot something interesting. Brigitte wanted to expand her expertise, so in 2017 she began to Load and Camera Assist and hopes to D.O.P in the future. She is represented in her home country and internationally for her photography work.
«I always say, I want my work to be visually arresting. I think and often feel in imagery and so I want your senses to wake up! You must taste it, hear it, and take a moment from your crazy, busy life to feel it. Then I've won the battle. I enjoy playing with metaphors and layers of ideas, pairing things that shouldn't be paired, like sassy, quirky comments but with imagery.»

Student's testimonials
Robert Mullins
Jeanette Allen
The video editing training course is wonderful and very efficient. The program is very competently drawn up - the main basic concepts and elements of the program are given, which can then be studied independently or, by going to the next course, studied extensively with the teacher.
I have been looking for such a YouTube editing course for a long time and, fortunately, decided to study here. It was a wonderful 5 weeks of online video editing classes, thanks to which I was able to learn the basics of the filming process, met wonderful professionals in their field, studied and tried the necessary equipment for filming.
Dora Patterson
Impressions from the online filmmaking classes overwhelm me. Well, first of all, the result is obvious: myself and relatives noticed that the quality of my video filming has improved significantly. The course is aimed specifically at the creative side of the process, but includes many psychological aspects. Much attention is paid to the commercial side of the issue: how to communicate with the customer.
Brian Hill
I think these video editing lessons for beginners are a great opportunity for those who are taking their first steps in video production to immerse themselves in this very interesting process for 5 weeks. During the course, we shot a short film together. The best ideas, which entered the film with the go pro action camera, emerged during the film, were not planned, but became the "highlight" of the picture.
