CHRISTIAAN SMIT
Multimedia Specialist & Storyteller

WHO I AM

I'm a Cape Town–based multimedia specialist with 4 years of professional experience across freelance, studio, and agency environments. A self-taught creative with deep expertise in filmmaking, cinematography, and visual storytelling, I bring a cinematic eye, a strong colour aesthetic, and a story-driven mindset to every brief.

WHAT I DO

In my current role I deliver high-impact photo and video content across retail, lifestyle, product, and promotional campaigns. I lead on-location shoots end-to-end — managing cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, and gimbal setups — and produce scroll-stopping short-form content for Instagram and digital platforms.

I work closely with creative directors, designers, and marketing teams to turn briefs into powerful visual stories, own the full media workflow from file organisation through backups and delivery, and edit to broadcast-ready standards while keeping brand consistency across every platform.
