Watch this behind-the-scenes video showing how we styled the Reuben and Maryké Riffel photoshoot for the SPRING FLING edition of VISI.
In one of the quiet streets that lie just behind Franschhoek’s bustling façade of cafés and restaurants, lies the private home of local-boy-made-good Reuben Riffel and his family.
The celebrity chef and his wife, Maryké, bought the property in 2007 and are only now nearing completion on the extensive renovations.
In the new SPRING FLING edition of VISI magazine, we went to take a peek. For a sneak preview, enjoy this behind-the-scenes video of creative extraordinaire Sumien Brink and photographer Micky Hoyle at work.
