About the studio
Photography with precision and care
Thakatha is a specialist photography company working across art reproduction, product photography, events and publishing.
Founded in the art world, our work is guided by attention to detail, consistency and a commitment to quality. Whether documenting a collection, photographing products or capturing an event, we create imagery that is thoughtful, professional and fit for purpose.
Working across Cape Town and Johannesburg, we partner with artists, galleries, collectors, brands and institutions throughout South Africa.
Our approach
We believe good photography starts with careful observation.
Every project is approached with precision, professionalism and an understanding of what makes the subject unique.
From artwork documentation and e-commerce photography to events and publications, our focus remains the same: creating images that serve their purpose well.
Behind Thakatha
Founded by Jennifer Zaharieva, Thakatha operates through a small team working across Cape Town and Johannesburg.
What began as a specialist art documentation practice has evolved into a broader photography company, while maintaining the standards of care and attention to detail that shaped its foundation.
