johan taljaard

My name is Johan Taljaard and I make films. That’s what I do. But here’s a little bit more about me.

I am a South African born cinematographer based in the mountains of North Carolina. Over 12 years of experience in the film industry in both Africa and North America, I’ve developed the patience, methods and specialized skills necessary to produce beautiful moving imagery in all manner of conditions. Whenever I’m not filming, I’m either playing rugby, rebuilding old dirt bikes, hunting or cooking something interesting with my wife on our deck, dreaming about soaking in a natural hot spring somewhere. All seriousness aside, I’ve been referred to as that guy who’s ‘down to clown’.
