Absolutely loved working with Kayleigh on her actor headshots. Super comfortable in front of the camera and open to ideas. We captured several looks, with some outdoor shots and a few indoor backgrounds and lighting setups.

Adaptable LinkedIn headshots!
A clean corporate look for Hamish Brettingham-Moore - shot in studio, but with a city backdrop option via post production as well. Graded with cooler tones, which help bring out the colour of Hamish's eyes.

I honestly like both options, but keen to see if anyone else has a preference?

If you need a fresh headshot, book via the website (link in Instagram bio too):

One capture, two images.
A good example of how a longer portrait can so easily be cropped into head and shoulders.

I always prefer to shoot a bit wider, knowing I can then provide a range of crops. From longer, closer, square etc.

I think the longer portrait feels relaxed, and is so much more versatile. Itcan be paired with more content on a website or flyer. It can be positioned to have text next to it without feeling too 'in your face'.

And then we have the headshot crop, which is the connection image. Use it on LinkedIn, email avatars and about pages for a strong first impression.

This session was captured in my studio, but I also use a similar approach on-site with teams.

Has been a busy and fun start to 2026. There's a lot of 2025 work (and honestly probably 2024 work) that I've not posted, so here's some shots from a great shoot with Karen last year.

Late to the 2016 trend, but here we are!

2016 was the year I bought my underwater housing! I visited magnetic island in QLD, and later Vava'u, Tonga where I had the best experiences of my life. Some of my favourite whale and underwater photography was from that first trip to Tonga in 2016 with Darren Jew.

10 years ago I was only really doing photography for fun, with the occasional paid job. I worked at a camera store with some of the best people. I did a framing course and framed 2 large pieces of personal work (one of these is hanging in the studio). My partner Jonathan and I got together that year. We moved out of home and planned a trip to Europe (the trip that kickstarted my business).

Some photos in here are credit to other wonderful photographers: Louise, Michael, Russell, and Jonathan.

2016 was a pretty good year!

Remembering Graeme. Rest easy, friend.

I posted some photos of Graeme not long ago, but last week he sadly passed away - surrounded by wonderful friends.

Graeme left a legacy in his hometown in remote NSW. He was a potter of opal clay, with extraordinary skills and seemingly infinite knowledge and curiosity.

I wanted to share some portraits captured across two of my visits. I was fortunate to learn from, photograph and record Graeme on the pottery wheel.

"Now you've got photographs to prove it, haven't you?" He said.

You'll see some Raku firings throughout these captures. Graeme always made sure to organise a night of Raku when I was visiting. The best of times!

He told me that he particularly liked the first image here , as he felt it looked like he was "planning some mischief".

Thanks Graeme for opening your heart to me and the world. You're loved. Say hi to Nana Audrey ❤️❤️

Team & action portraits with

Loved the whole vibe of this shoot - the studio choice, the outfits and the energy from team coming together.

We spent half a day capturing individual, groups, pairs and candid in-situ photography. A nice collection to introduce the team.

My goal in portraiture isn't to transform, it's to celebrate. We're all beautiful and worthy, just as we are - no need to change anything.

Nicola stepped in front of my lens recently, and we embodied this idea of authenticity in every way possible. For Nicola, her shoot was a personal one. It's been one of my favourite sessions this year.

We wanted to capture portraits of Nicola that felt natural - not overly posed. These images were taken in the studio, with a relaxed approach to lighting, posing and expression - and the space for Nicola to feel comfortable as herself.

I'm forever grateful when I get to be a part of someone's journey in this way.

Well well, Christmas is fast approaching and I felt I should probably show you our collection of sarongs available for sale!

My aunty, sister and I produced three designs featuring my underwater photography. How fun!

They are beautifully printed at a size of 180cm X 100cm on 100% organic cotton voile, finished with an eyelash fringing.

Ayush has launched his own psychology practice, and came to the studio for a signature branding session. Our goal was to capture a collection of shots that he can use as the face of the business, build trust and serve as an introduction.

We kept the colour palette and lighting warm and earthy for this one, taking guidance from his branding themes and website design.
