Biography
Antonia Steyn is an award-winning photographer whose exceptional ability to capture mood and movement has earned her a reputation for being an inimitable talent in the industry. The consistently unique, and unapologetically bold tone of Antonia’s work has led to commissions by global brands such as Audi, Toyota, Carlsberg, Nike, G-Star Raw amongst others. With a background in portrait photography, Steyn has shot a range of global athletes from Rafael Nadal and Eliud Kipchoge to Caster Semenya as well as SA icons like Antjie Krog, Pieter Dirk Uys and Eugene Terre Blanche.
When she’s not on set you’ll find Antonia making photographs of queers in churches and deep suburbia or cruising dusty roads with her camera from rural South Africa to the deserts of Morocco.
Antonia’s awards includes the Absa L’Atelier Merit Award, the Vuleka Art Award and the Media 24 Photographer of the Year. Her collaboration project “Bellville Paradise” was shortlisted for the CAP prize in 2023. Untitled (Eugene Terre Blanche) forms part of the Sasol, Oliewenshuis and South African National Gallery permanent collections.
