HELLO, I’M GRETHE!
ARTIST | PICTURE-DRAWER | PHOTOGRAPHER | TEA-DRINKER | SEMI-RETIRED MUSICIAN | PINK HAIR | FIREBALL | SMART-ASS
I AM an acclaimed internationally published editorial photographer and retoucher based in Somerset West, South Africa. My studies in graphic design led me to photography in 2006, where the pursuit of fashion photography was a natural progression after obtaining my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography in 2008.
In 2016, I was a headlining speaker at the annual PHOTO & FILM EXPO in Johannesburg and I am a well-known name in the local photographic community and industry.
My work ranges from elaborate styled visions to fresh editorial stories, all executed with a keen eye for detail, meticulously polished and powered by a personal aesthetic of simple, striking elegance.
When I am not a photographer, I am an illustrator and I would be happy to do art commissions – you can view my art here: GretheFenyx Art on Facebook or email me at grethe{at}fenyx.co.za!
SA WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS:
In February 2016, I founded the number one online community geared towards empowering and uplifting women in the South African photographic industry, as well as showcasing their incredible talent. It’s an honour and a privilege to see the community grow with every year that passes and to share my vision with likeminded women.

I LIKE tea, mountains, red wine, Europe, whisky, aircraft, mythology, winter, music, glitter, cats, comics, languages and travel.
