Warwick Saint, was born in South Africa in 1972, an international photographer and director, he shoots fashion, celebrities, portraits, music and advertising campaigns worldwide.
He attended St. Stithian's College, a prestigious boys high school. He headed up the Photographic Society and judiciously used his privileged access to the darkroom by smuggling in his girlfriends. Here he spent many hours developing and perfecting his prints ... and other skills...
In '89, during Warwick's final school year, his father was tragically killed in a car accident. This affected Warwick profoundly by strengthening his ambition and desire to uphold his father's reputation as one of South Africa's most famous Creatives. In '94 he graduated with BA Honors in Art History and Philosophy.
Now, free to pursue his passion, he left South Africa for London. The next four years were spent assisting photographers, trying to learn everything he could from the likes of Nadav Kander and others.
In 1999 his break came from Dutch magazine to shoot 'Elephant Boy.' This put him on the map and a few months later he moved to New York. Since then he has been commissioned to shoot some of the most prestigious advertising campaigns and famous people in the world. He currently lives in Brooklyn with his beautiful wife Patricia.
