After graduating from film school with a degree specialising in video art - much of which was exhibited worldwide - Sven moved into documentary editing for UK broadcasters like Channel 4 and ITV.

 

Soon he was applying his experimental influences behind the camera - directing documentaries, music videos and TV commercials for such wide-ranging clients as American Express, Sony International, EMI, Nestle, Procter & Gamble and Diageo. Industry awards followed.

 

A frequent visitor to Cape Town to shoot much of this work, Sven is now based between the 'mother city' and the UK. Recent projects include several long-form, extreme sports-based programmes for Red Bull, South Africa.
