Photography

The Grant Thornton International advertising was shot in and around beautiful Capetown, South Africa. Sea, mountain, river, countryside and urban environments are in close proximity, making this the perfect setting.
We commissioned award-winning photographer, George Kavanagh, to shoot this campaign. He excelled at capturing the sheer scale of the locations and juxtaposing the landscape with the feeling of isolation some decision-makers might experience as they take their time to consider all the options and implications of a really big business decision.
