Marcel Kok is a professional photographer based in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town; specialising in corporate, industrial, commercial, lifestyle and wedding photography & videography. I endeavour to provide my clients with top-quality photography and a first-class level of service. A photograph is not just a photograph. It is a story. Whether it is a commercial or product shoot, lifestyle or wedding portfolio, each image tells a story and it is the photographer who needs to tell that story. That is where I come in. My main objective is to help you tell your own story to the best of my abilities. I have developed my own unique style to suit your individual requirements and to compliment them in the most natural way possible. Each set of photographs is tailored to suit you in order to fulfil your unique needs and suit your own personalities and tastes. The images are after all the visible embodiment of your dreams.. .
Hello! I'm Marcel Kok, a professional photographer passionate about capturing the beauty of life through my lens. My goal is to create timeless images that tell your story.
My interest in photography started at the age of 14 when I received an old, banged-up 35mm Ricoh SLR from a family friend. I immediately fell in love with this "piece of junk" and started shooting everything in sight, spending all my paper-round money on film, processing, and accessories. I joined the school's camera club as soon as I could, and soon I was taking photos for the school journal.
I joined the South African Air Force in 1996, where I was trained as an aerial photographer. I spent 5 incredible years covering all aspects of photography. During this time, I also freelanced in various fields—from weddings to studio work to commercial projects.
In 2000, I decided to spread my wings and gain international photographic experience. I moved to the UK and spent several years in London working at a photographic lab and freelancing in my spare time. This experience allowed me to form my own photographic company, specialising in commercial and lifestyle photography.
After 18 years of extensive and valued international experience, I returned to sunny South Africa.
