I specialise in creating images that don’t just show your face, they capture your unique brand personality.
I quickly build rapport with people, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable in front of my camera.
This allows me to capture your best with minimum fuss.
Trusted by iconic Australian and global brands, I deliver the high impact images that become the face of your business.
Whether you’re planning a personal branding session or need strategic portraits for your business, I’d love to hear from you.
A personal branding shoot is for individuals who take how they present themselves seriously, both where they are and where they’re going.
This includes entrepreneurs, business owners, C-suite executives, leaders, and rising stars who want imagery that reflects their position, personality, and ambition.
It’s particularly valuable if you’re visible in your field, whether you’re leading, communicating, or representing yourself or an organisation.
The result is a set of images that feels considered, consistent, and aligned with the level you operate at.
I am based in Bellevue Hill, in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, just 15 minutes from Sydney CBD.
Many sessions are photographed on location, allowing us to create images that feel natural and aligned with your brand.
If needed, I also have a private studio space available for individual sessions.
Not at all. In fact, as a mobile photographer, most of my work is done on location . I bring a high-end studio experience to you, shooting across Sydney (and beyond).
This “on-location” approach is designed to:
While I am based in Sydney, shooting across the entire Greater Sydney region, I also regularly travel further afield to serve clients throughout Regional NSW, across Australia and internationally.
No matter where you are located, I can bring my mobile studio to you to ensure your brand is reflected in your photos.
I hear you! Almost everyone I photograph starts by telling me how much they dislike being in front of the camera. We are often our own harshest critics, focusing on features that others, who see us much more generously, never even notice.
Campaigns like Dove’s Real Beauty have tapped into this, powerfully highlighting how we struggle to be kind to ourselves.
My job is to change this narrative.
Being “photogenic” isn’t a personality trait – it’s a result of great lighting and expert direction.
I specialise in creating a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable. I see the best in you and use sympathetic posing and flattering lighting to bring that out.
My goal is to give you a new portrait that you are genuinely proud to share with the world.
In short: No.
While a warm smile can project confidence and approachability, it isn’t the only way to create a powerful professional image.
Some clients prefer a more serious, authoritative, or thoughtful look, and for some industries, this approach makes a much stronger statement.
I also work with many clients who feel self-conscious about their teeth or their smile.
Regardless of the reason, a forced smile looks unnatural, and you likely won’t be happy with the result.
My goal is to capture authenticity, and we can achieve this without a smile.
I will provide the expert direction needed to ensure your expression feels genuine and you’re happy with the photos.
No forced smiles required.
Your clothing plays a key role in how you’re perceived, so we approach it with intention.
Start by considering your audience and industry, then think about how you want to present yourself. Choose outfits that support that positioning.
As a general guide:
If your brand is more expressive, we can absolutely reflect that. The key is that it feels deliberate.
I recommend bringing a couple of options, even if you’re only after a single image. Whether you’re deciding yourself or coordinating for someone else, I’ll guide selections on the day, ensuring everything works both photographically and in line with your brand.
I have a more detailed look at the thorny “What should I wear” question here.
Sessions are typically 20, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the package you choose. This is usually more than enough time to get a great set of images.
That said, I don’t rush the process. If we need a little longer to get everything right, we’ll take it. The goal is simple: you leave with images you’re happy with.
Absolutely. If you have a specific brand style guide or existing photos you need to align with, I can replicate the lighting, background, and cropping to ensure your new portraits fit perfectly.
Matching a specific “look” is a standard part of my service for corporate clients. Whether you need to maintain consistency with a global head office or want your new hires to sit seamlessly alongside your current photos, I can provide the technical expertise to ensure a cohesive brand image.
The background plays an important role in how your images feel and where they can be used.
A clean, neutral backdrop (white, grey, or similar) is a popular choice. It creates a polished, highly versatile look that works well across LinkedIn, websites, and press.
Alternatively, other options may be more appropriate for your brand:
If you’re unsure, I’ll guide you toward a combination that gives you both polished and more natural images, ensuring flexibility across different platforms and uses.
Yes, I can arrange for a professional hair and makeup artist (HMUA) to be on-site for your headshot session. When planning your schedule, please keep the following in mind:
Think of a look as a distinct “vibe” or visual story. It consists of a specific combination of wardrobe, lighting, background, and styling.
We consider it a new look when we make a significant change that shifts the overall mood or feel of the photo, such as:
To keep your session flowing, minor “micro-adjustments” are not new looks. These include:
Pro Tip: Some changes are quick whereas others can take a significant amount of time. All sessions can be tailored to accommodate multiple changes and we can often do this on the fly, but it’s always best to check ahead in advance to ensure we allow enough time.
I provide a seamless digital delivery process designed for corporate efficiency. Once your session is complete, the workflow follows these steps:
I know you’re eager to see your shots, so I prioritise a fast workflow:
If you have an urgent deadline, like a press release or a website launch, let me know before we start and I can usually fast-track your gallery.
Yes, professional retouching is included with all personal branding packages.
The approach is subtle, refining distractions while keeping the result natural. The goal is for you to look like yourself on your best day, not overly processed.
If you have specific preferences, I can tailor the retouching to suit your style.
My approach is to enhance rather than alter, ensuring a polished, natural result.
For portraits, this includes refining skin, reducing shine, tidying hair and clothing, and removing minor distractions.
I’ll also clean up backgrounds so nothing draws attention away from you.
If you have specific requests, I’m happy to accommodate them.
Quite simply, I focus on you. I don’t offer a cookie-cutter service, working to a formula that doesn’t account for your individuality.
You’re unique, so I create the best corporate photos for you and your brand.
I work with you to find the right pose and expression to bring out your very best.
I pride myself on giving you photos you are proud to use.
And I work really hard to do this as quickly as possible, knowing that many people don’t enjoy the experience.
You deserve to get great photos with the minimum of fuss – that’s what I do.
