Hi guys, my name is Shivaan Maharaj. I reside in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal,South Africa. I am a Broadcast TV Production Professional specialising in Outside Broadcasting and Photography. I started my business of freelancing whilst studying and 20 years later I have acquired and attained a well suited place in the industry together with a world of knowledge in both fields. I very early rose to management due to my extensive knowledge and know how in business and broadcast from a young age due to my dad being an Industry specialist. I basically grew up with cameras and audio visual equipment which thrilled and attracted me as a kid. I was still in primary school and had a sound understanding of the Industry. Much of my work experience was surrounded by University work and their demands as I did my internship there and the government sphere respectively. I have headed and managed many Key National Government Events and Programmes, Private sector requirements and the likes. I am no stranger to those world's. I worked well with many technical crews, from directing to managing the Technical side of things. I am one of the few professionals who underwent the transformation from analogue to digital both in the Broadcast and Photographic Industries. What a major transformation. My passion and love for what I do has taken me to the ends of my country leaving a footprint behind with great memories and successful projects under my belt. I have stood the test of time in the above mentioned industries and attained great success by not being greedy financially but focused on chasing success together with technical and service excellence. I built a reputation on technical and service excellence which has blessed me in many ways. I thoroughly enjoy challenges and seeing them through to the very end on projects. I also enjoy adding great value to any clients requirements and my technical obligations thus ensuring a successful outcome in the end. In closing always the first to be at work and the last one to leave. Passion can never be bought, it grows from within naturally.
