Portraiture
Considered, character-driven portraiture — from personal and family sittings to editorial and commercial commissions — shaped by a deep understanding of light and the camera.

Our story
Built on vision
Cornerstone Films is a South African photography studio focused on portraiture, events, and street photography. We are based in South Africa, working with people, brands, and publications who care about craft and honest imagery.
The team is led by Ntokozo Bonga, who studied at The Market Photo Workshop under the Market Theatre Foundation and earned his accolades through an exceptional understanding of the camera. That foundation shapes every frame we make — patient, observant, and alive to the moment.
Whether it is a portrait sitting, an event, or a walk through the streets, we bring the same cornerstone commitment: clear vision, careful craft, and images that connect.
