Emma-Leigh Hoyle
Hiya! I’m Emma
I'm a Johannesburg-based event and portrait photographer with a deep passion for music and gaming and a love for bringing concepts to life. My drive for constant visual growth hasn’t gone unnoticed; I’m proud to have been recognised with features from both Sony Alpha SA and Godox SA.
But I’m definitely not just a button clicker. I have worked professionally across brand marketing, graphic design, and copywriting. I speak "creative" fluently. I understand how the assets we create together need to fit into your wider strategy to genuinely complement your goal instead of just making stuff that looks cool for the sake of it.
My background is also a bit of a unique mix: I've managed IT infrastructure, competed as a professional CS2 player, and worked with Africa's most prestigious esports organisation. This deep and native understanding of the tech and gaming world is exactly why I have been able to work with brands such as Google, YouTube, Dell, Alienware, Telkom, and Intel.

I focus (pun intended) on documenting memorable little moments and authentic personalities. It’s easy to make something look good, but capturing a person’s true self? That’s where I do my best work :)
