About me

I’m a self-taught, Award Winning Photographer originally from South Africa, now lucky enough to call Australia my home.

Before diving into photography full-time, I was a primary school teacher, where I nurtured my passion for connection, creativity and storytelling. My life took an unexpected yet thrilling turn when I discovered freediving and the underwater world. I’m a dive instructor and experienced freediver and this deep connection with the ocean sparked a love for photography that has since evolved into capturing not only the mysteries of the sea but also the energy of outdoor adventures, the intimacy of weddings, and the essence of brand storytelling.

As an award-winning photographer, I approach every project with a keen eye for art and an appreciation for the raw, unfiltered beauty of the world. Photography is more than just a craft - it’s my love language… my Wylde. I believe each photo has the power to tell a story and create change. Through my work, I aim to educate and inspire, inviting you to connect more deeply with the world and to find your Wylde.

Thank you for visiting. Whether you’re here to explore, collaborate, or bring a piece of my art into your space, I’m excited to share this journey with you.

Let’s make magic together!

Hello! My name is Miesa, and I am the creative mind behind Wylde.

Work with me

I collaborate with tourism boards, hotels, resorts, travel brands, and couples who value thoughtful storytelling, strong visuals, and intentional messaging. What began as a passion project has grown into creating authentic, story-driven content that captures genuine connection, atmosphere, and meaningful detail. My approach goes beyond a single campaign or event; I focus on building long-term partnerships that feel natural, elevated, and aligned, delivering consistent, high-quality imagery that inspires trust, drives engagement, and creates lasting impact.
