🚨NEWS ALERT 🚨 We are very excited to welcome Marco King as our newest DOP to the Exposure Family! “Storytelling is something deeply woven into the fabric of being human - or so Marco believes. His approach to cinematography reflects this philosophy. With a deep reverence for the story being told, he crafts powerful and engaging visuals that connect audiences to those stories, all while remaining warm, calm, and approachable. Specialising in Steadicam and gimbal operating, Marco combines precision and intuition to create deliberate, immersive imagery. Never afraid to experiment, he pushes his craft through a potent combination of technical operating, creative lighting, movement and lensing to bring a unique perspective to every project. Drawing on this strong foundation, Marco is now stepping confidently into the role of Director of Photography, ready to apply his visual instincts and technical expertise to lead projects from behind the lens. When he isn’t working on documentaries, narratives or brand campaigns, you will find Marco out surfing or deep in the mountains.” @marcoking0 is available in Cape Town and always willing to travel! ☎️ #exposurecrew #exposure #camera #DOP #filmmaking #cinema #cinematographer #cinematic #cinematography #southafrica

This video is fire! 🔥 Another instalment of the video series we created for @hothutsza socials. With only a 2-person team and less than a week turnaround we created 4 super engaging videos for this exciting startup. #mobilesauna #capetownlife #saunalife #deepsouth #weshooteverything

Kerala Bike trip. Whilst deep in the process of repairing my bike I still find some time to visit a waterfall, swim in a wild river and immerse myself in jungle-clad mountainous. Special thanks to @sidhu_sidh_arth for helping me get to a town in his truck. And to all the amazing humans along the way that bent their wills to getting me beck on the toad. I am deeply appreciative.

Some moments from my latest documentary “Toxic Harvest” I shot this documentary on the Sony FX6 and A7siii. The FX6 was my primary interview and handheld camera whilst the A7siii lived on the gimbal and served as a B-Camera for interviews. Almost the entire doccy was shot on vintage Minolta MC Rokkor Prime lenses . A DJI Mavic Pro rounded off the loadout. #sonyfx6 #shotonsony #minoltalens #documentaryfilm #safilm

The Queen of Fire. Where she wanders, the land ignites. The plants ache to feel her touch and are scorched into umber, ash and coal. But fear not for whilst her truth may seem like destruction and the land erodes, chars and crumbles In her truth is an awakening The plants push up through the illusion The dirt-filled veil washes away And the land blooms, born anew.
