Warwick Saint (1972) is a painter, photographer, and mixed media artist from South Africa, recognized globally for his mastery and control of light.

 

Saint reimagined the role of lighting in film shoots by adapting techniques from scientific applications of flash and stroboscopic photography and by combining artificial and natural light for kinetic exposures. His most innovative photographic process is the Kinetic Silhouette (2000), which he designed to capture athletes in motion. Additional Saint-tailored techniques include Focused Stroboscopic, SDF HMI MIX, OFTE, Sonic Speed, and Light Painting. His precision for capturing form and movement defied the use of editing software.

 

Brands such as Nike, Puma, and Diesel have all published global campaigns with unaltered images created by Saint. He has shot album covers for icons such as Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Missy Elliot, JLo, and Whitney Houston and campaigns with Gal Gadot, Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams, LeBron James, and countless others.
