P H O T O G R A P H Y A S A RT Marijke Willems’ passion for photography slowly grew from when she was ten years old and given a camera as a gift. She began her career working as an assistant for acclaimed photographer, Merwelene van der Merwe, and moved to the Netherlands in 2005 to further her studies. Willems graduated in 2008 with a qualification in Fashion Advertising from the Foto Academie in Amsterdam. She has since returned to South Africa and built up an extensive client list, one being Vuyani Dance Theatre. Willems regularly shoots the beautiful promotional shots that have become synonymous with the Vuyani brand, including the one featured on this month’s cover of Creative Feel.
