KJD Photography has a rich history that started out as a sole proprietorship run by Karl himself. He managed everything from photography to image editing, supplying top-quality images to various magazines. However, KJD Services (Pty) Ltd is the registered company that now operates KJD Photography.
The name KJD Photography has been around for over a decade, and at the end of 2021, Karl officially registered KJD Services as a company and incorporated KJD Photography into it.
Over time, KJD Photography has garnered numerous prestigious accreditations, proudly aligning with esteemed organizations such as Cricket South Africa, Motorsport South Africa, and Comic-Con Africa. These accolades stand as a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of photography. They reflect our dedication to delivering outstanding services that consistently surpass the expectations of our clients, both at a commercial level and on a deeply personal scale.
