Jacques Marais appointed Sony Imaging ambassador

Jacques Marais, accomplished photo-journalist and author, and member of the Southern African Freelancers' Association, who has just ended a three-year professional relationship with Nikon, has accepted an offer to align himself with Sony as its Imaging Ambassador in South Africa.

This will allow him to combine image capturing on the their range of SLT and Mirrorless cameras with mobile devices, computers and action cameras. He and Nikon arrived at a mutual decision to end their working relationship and he maintains his respect for the brand.

Chantell Weatherill, Sony's senior product manager - digital imaging, says the company is thrilled to enter into this collaboration with Marais. "No doubt the term 'mobile office' will be stretched to the extreme through the exciting and varied work produced by Jacques Marais Media, in partnership with Sony."

Marias' partnership with Sony is well underway, with numerous expeditions lined up in the immediate future, including possible outings to Venezuela and Antarctica.

Safrea congratulates Marais on this exciting career development and wishes him everything of the best in his future endeavours.
