Jacques Naudé is a Filmmaker and Cinematographer from South Africa.

His style portrays evocative visuals rich with texture and colour, and a sparse, authentic dialogue and his narratives explore the deep-rooted connection between mankind and their environment.

“My approach as a filmmaker is always to invite an eye and ear into a setting as if they are there to experience the subject matter first hand. Never to taint, never to preach, never to objectify.”

Jacques’ skills run the gamut from commercial advertising to documentaries and films.

Jacques’s commercial clients have included Nike, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Shu Uemura, Puma, MAC Cosmetics, Cle du Peau, eBay, Harper’s Bazaar, Dior, Vogue, Google, and the Wall Street Journal. He has produced and shot music videos for Keith Richards and Tom Petty, among others.

He is based in New York City.
