Artists & Legends Creative Management and Production House
Artists & Legends is the hot, new agency in Cape Town. Already turning heads both locally and internationally, its the agency to contact for top creatives both in Cape Town and Europe and any size production budget. The way advertising and marketing is engaging with potential consumers has changed, thanks to the internet. So has the production industry, revolutionalized by the digital world. Artists & Legends embrace these changes, by inviting to brands to connect with them for a creative brief, which will be coupled with the right creative for the project, and executed professionally according to budget. The in-house producer has many years of international experience, working with ad agencies and brands from Europe and the US, looking to escape the winter. Cape Town and the African continent is the place to be. With its diverse locations, professional crews, and incredibly favourable exchange rate.
The producer at Artists & Legends has been a producer for almost 2 decades. Her experience encompasses print & commercial production, music videos and large fashion events. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Advertising and marketing from The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, she returned to her home town to work in advertising. Little did she know that she would end up working for Tanya Townsend, one of South Africa's most revered print producers. Debbie's career has grown steadily over the years, producing massive print campaigns and TV commercials in Cape Town for the international market. Debbie did not stop there. With her global contacts, she has worked backstage at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City and Australia, produced campaigns in New York, Los Angeles, Lisbon, Seychelles, Mauritius and Bombay, to name a few. Her love of travel and working with different cultures kept her on the move. She's worked alongside Sally Field, Rachel Griffith, Natalie Imbruglia, Ryan Reynolds and Owen Wilson. Her most recent contract was as the national Producer for Kevin Murphy in the USA. She produced 3 day fashion events across the US, culminating in hair and fashion shows for almost 1000 people. At the beginning of 2015 Debbie returned to Cape Town to launch Artists & Legends. Her vision: to harness her diverse, global experience and the creativity she has experienced on 3 continents, and to offer it to the creative industry in South Africa. The result: A progressive, forward thinking agency comprising of artists with their own unique voices looking to offer their vision to advertising agencies, brands and production houses both in South Africa, and the rest of the world.

Behind The Scenes with Photographer Josie Borain and Actress Kim Engelbrecht.
Josie Borain and I met up with Roddy Quin of Real Concerts at quaint Rose Cottage to shoot the publicity images for South Africa's rising star, actress Kim Engelbrecht. The setting seemed a little subtle seeing as the last time I saw Kim, she was running around a desolate landscape with a semi automatic weapon, in the American action TV series Dominion. Kim arrived and as the day progressed, we found Kim to be fun and down to earth, which is a rare commodity for actresses who have worked with legends like Colin Firth and Helen Mirren. Josie Borain is the go-to photographer in South Africa for local and international actors and celebrities. She has photographed actor Jared Leto and actress Taryn Manning for Interview Magazine, and, being a celebrity herself, has documented countless high profile individuals over the years. Here are a few images from our day with Kim. Josie Borain is represented by Artists & Legends Creative Management. You can view her portfolio here.
Discovered by Oprah, Represented by Artists & Legends Creative Management - Photographer Sivan Miller.
In his motifs, Sivan Miller seeks the face of the 21st century. His feel for unique looking models, fashion, and locations all combine into cool portraits offering the beholder a new perspective on today’s world. In his choice of models, he looks for a certain “alien feeling”—for types that will take us on a trip to the near future. In doing so, Sivan often sets standards in the field of lifestyle photography.
Being discovered by the legendary talk-show host Oprah Winfrey propelled his career even further. Today, this young photographer belongs to the emerging masters of Fashion Photography. His sense for faces and his modern staging all make for a laid-back but also very secure visual vocabulary.
We love his aesthetic, yet somewhat lifestyle approach to his editorial work. He also has an incredible imagination which comes across in his highly styled, futuristic campaigns. You can see more of Sivan's work here: http://www.artistsandlegends.com/photography-1/#/sivan-miller-editorial-photography/

The production division and creatives at Artists & Legends have certainly had their adventurous experiences over the years, but none as exciting and challenging as Annie Leibovitz's latest shoot for Moncler. We would like to honour this brilliant photographer who not only continues to shoot exquisite images, but goes the distance for the ultimate shot. Having to hike across an icy world and threatening weather conditions, Annie handles the elements like the pro she is. We know how grueling production can be and we admire her professionalism.
