Adapting to a new country is a challenge. Worldwide is here to help. The best way to ensure you are the best you can be in a new environment is by building a network. Networks are not just for businesspeople; they are also a valuable way to build a support base for those days when the longing becomes too much, and everyone is just too far away.

Worldwide’s World Guide is where South African businesses from around the world get together to create a community. Small business owners can enjoy Worldwide’s free service abroad and even list their businesses on the interactive guide themselves. In this way, they become part of this wonderful networking opportunity!
This month, we focus on photographers on our network who you can support.

Welcome to my photography world! I’m Jorietha, a passionate lifestyle photographer originally from South Africa, currently based in the Netherlands.

AVW Media Worx (United Arab Emirates)

My name is Adriaan van Wyk, and I am a touring photographer who is currently based in the United Arab Emirates. My passion for photography started in 2015 when I had the opportunity to explore 24 countries as a photographer on board one of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines’ ships. I was captivated by the beauty of the world and its people and knew that I wanted to capture these memories through my lens.  

I always aim to capture the emotions and essence of the moment in a unique, creative way, whether it be a portrait session or a commercial product. I am committed to provide images of high quality that my clients will treasure for a lifetime. Read more.

I have always taken photos and documented everything. I did this for many years and then around 2015 I decided to study photography, changing my hobby into a career. My photography improved to such an extent that I decided to start Elizabeth Jones Photography. Read more.

Lisa Matthis Newborn Photography (United States of America)

Newborn photography is the most amazing job. It is fulfilling on so many levels. The process of capturing images of a newborn is so much more than just a final product. Each image is created to evoke an emotion; to emphasise the preciousness of life; and to show the vulnerability and innocence of a newborn. Read more.

The Local Lens (Cayman Islands)

I have been a professional photographer in the Cayman Islands since 2018.  Over the years, I have had the privilege and great fortune of capturing many beautiful families, glowing maternity sessions and magical elopements.

I like to think of my work as a fusion between posed and lifestyle photography. Everything I do is very intentional. I try to capture natural moments that happen by using prompts in my sessions. I capture details big and small, and I aim to capture moments that make you feel something. Read more.
