South African photographer Betina Du Toit takes ethereal editorial images that celebrate beauty and youth in a way that embraces nostalgia whilst remaining fashion forward.
Du Toit lives in Paris, and works predominantly in fashion and beauty—shooting campaigns for the likes of Chanel as well as recent editorials for Marie Claire France and Marie Claire USA. Du Toit is enchanted by nature, preferring to shoot her subjects in poetic locations like the Bois de Boulogne, a pristine lake in the west of Paris; the rocky terrain of Cape Town in South Africa; or floating about in the Dead Sea. Wherever the location, what remains constant in Du Toit’s work is a dreamy aesthetic and strong connection with her subjects.
