About

I’m De Waal Raubenbach, a South African photographer, videographer, and director based in Los Angeles with over a decade of experience creating commercial photography, corporate videos, and compelling visual stories. I lead high-end shoots for luxury hospitality brands—often as their go-to visual partner—capturing imagery that helps brands feel premium, authentic, and unforgettable.

From award-winning editorials to large-scale corporate campaigns, music videos, and aerial drone cinematography, I focus on creative direction, technical excellence, and consistent brand-building. I also bring a wider creative toolkit to every project, including post-production workflows in Adobe software, underwater and diving visuals, and hands-on experience delivering content that performs—whether it’s for major global companies or international publications.
