BRIGHT CREATIVITY

Nicolise Harding joins in for an uplifting chat on all that is photography, design and creativity on "Luxury with Natalia." Born and raised in the beautiful South Africa, Nicolise successfully completed her BA degree in Graphic Design & Photography, with a Honours in Film Criticism at the North-West University (PUKKE). We talk creative ideas of how to use your photography skills or passion to create amazing content in these times of confinement and how a rebrand or fresh take on your business visually can be a good thing to do right now. About Nicolise: After a few years of getting her foot in the door, Nicolise jumped on a plane in 2004 to London to gain world experience in whatever came her way. Travel gave her the creative outlet to up her game in photography and just seeing the world which was always a dream to her. In 2007 she returned home and entered the teaching field at private schools in Johannesburg to spread her knowledge of photography and design. This gave her the patience to work with people; and the opportunity to travel to Europe with her students for a hands on experience. 2013 was the year that made her the woman she is today. She went freelance and has not looked back. Today Nicolise specialises in Events, Corporate & Wedding photography; graphic design - business identity, wedding stationary & layout. Her impressive client base such as PanMacmillan SA, Exclusive Books, Deloittes, Boston Scientific, BMW, Natalia Langsdale, Investec, Samlam, FNB, MERCK, St Stithians, NEC/XON, SAB and many more are testament to her expertise. She has also had the honour of photographing established personalities in a vast variety of industries like AB de Villiers, Honourable Judge Dikgang Moseneke, Melinda Gates, The Highlanders Cricket Team, 30 Seconds To Mars, Forest Whitaker, Thando Manana, Mandy Wiener, President Thabo Mbeki, The Illusionists & Kings of Chaos. https://www.nicoliseharding.com

Jimmy Carroll is the Business Development Director at the experiential company Pelorus, based in the UK. What is interesting in these challenging times with the Covid-19 epidemic, is that he served as a Captain in a British Army reconnaissance regiment, with tours to Iraq in 2006 and twice to Afghanistan. If anyone knows about warfare and crisis management along with discipline under pressure, Jimmy does! He served for eight years and on leaving was appointed expedition manager for Extreme Everest 2, the largest ever medical-research expedition conducted on Mount Everest. His account about the challenging experience on the participants and their physical abilities draw parallels that were done on purpose to feeling what it is like to be in intensive care. Prior to co-founding PELORUS, with business partner Geordie Mackay-Lewis, Jimmy worked as head of marketing and communications for the design studio, Winch Design, a world-leader in superyachts, private aviation and architecture. Jimmy is a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, mountain leader and advanced diver with a passion for adventure. He also supports the London 2 Monaco cycle for the Blue Marine Foundation, something that we both have done at different levels. This is a good, human chat about survival, experiences and motivation in these times where team work and keeping positive despite the circumstances is key. Here's to communication, creativity and connectivity to keep us going. www.pelorusx.com

"Luxury with Natalia," created by brainiac Natalia who runs the Marketing & PR agency in the South of France called Bright Creativity, introduces an ingenious new way to play the coolest board game born from Yacht Needs - the Yacht Opoly! Yacht Needs is an online platform for all yacht-related jobs and services that the yachting industry needs. Not only are they super cool but they also have an amazing concept and bonus, came up with Yacht-Opoly! So it was a no brainer for "Luxury with Natalia" to get inspired with her very own Yacht Opoly and claim the fame to this super social way of not feeling lonely in confinement (sadly the the cats, Mojo and Jolo refuse to play...)! The coolest social interaction to do in confinement! We are going to bring together the community and have fun. Who said being confined alone needed to be lonely. We are rocking the boat to a new dimension of game play. Reinventing old school to new school. You won't be too cool for school with this. Are you game? Tune in soon for more deets and when to play! www.bright-creativity.com www.yachtneeds.net
