About

The Professional Approach
Photographic shoots are something that should be energetic comfortable and collaborative. I am always keen to work with everyone from seasoned professionals to new models just starting out who may need a helping hand with a variety of aspects of the industry or just want to update and expand their portfolio. I approach every shoot with absolute professionalism, organized, focused, prepared and creative.

Collaboration
Your photo shoot is personalized for you. Using a combination of your ideas and goals I add my creative theme and concept style and together we develop a unique and artistic project that will be a genuine original that you will love.

Locations
I have an extensive treasure trove of very cool locations in Sydney. And like they say, “location location location.” So be it beaches, flower filled fields, abandoned buildings, cliffs, parks, industrial areas or studios I pride myself on being able to come up with somewhere to shoot that’s 100% cool, and not the painfully recognizable over used locations that already feature in so many portfolio and catalogue images.

The Shoot
Wardrobe options, locations, shoot style components and concepts will be discussed in detail prior to shooting and mutually agreed upon. Shoots will generally run for between 3 and 4 hours once on location. This will of course vary based on the concept, style and details etc. It is always best that shoots are energetic and easy going, so generally half a day is optimal and everyone still has just a little energy left at the end.

Digital Image Editing
When the camera is back in the bag I always digitally process every image individually and on full view, not in batches and do it with painstaking perfectionism regardless of what’s involved or how long it takes. My post shoot image editing will be flattering to you and provide “real images” without the over smoothed cartoon Barbie look.
