Matt booked an actor headshot session in the studio with me, for a bit of a refresh. It was lucky that his session was to be inside, as we hit probably the only bad day within two weeks of blissful weather possible. Lucky for me, Matt was a pleasure to work with – patient and open to new ideas. We were aiming for three strong headshots to update his folio. Along with various tops, we looked at different backgrounds and […]
What to wear? That’s one of the big considerations before having your actor headshots taken. While your outfit isn’t the feature of your headshot (you’re the star of the shot after all!), considering your outfit can make a big impact on the final image. Firstly, it is important to wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and happy. You’ll look much more relaxed in the shots. When you’re not stressing about your outfit during the shoot, you can focus […]
I loved working with Richard. He is such a patient and easygoing guy. On top of that, he is kind and funny too. It was more like photographing an old friend than anything else. Richard is an actor who wanted to update his actor headshots to something a little more current. He brought along a few different outfits, and we explored both outdoor and studio options, shooting until we felt like we had achieved a range of images for Richard […]
I love colour! If you have seen my work, you will probably have figured this out by now. I absolutely loved the colours of houses across, Italy, Greece and Cyprus. Even the coordinated colours across the streets of Spain. Colours and texture were everywhere on my travels, and it is something I try and really think about in my headshot photography. Influenced by my trip overseas, a lot of my actor headshots incorporate block colour in a studio look. Acting Headshots: […]
Recently I was sitting down with an old friend. We were having a spot of lunch, catching up on the past year. He recently has started his own business too, and he specialises in I.T. We were having a chat about what I do, and discussing how headshots can be so beneficial for business. We discussed how headshots are great to look professional, to connect with potential clients, communicate a personal brand. While this was all good, my friend told […]
I recently worked on a project with my Mum. She loves birds! She breeds cockatiels, and has spent hours carefully hand raising many of them over the years. It is a lot of work. Hand raising baby birds means getting up throughout the night every three to four hours to feed them. It means constant supervision, control of their environment, and a lot of care. Because my Mum loves birds so much, I wanted to capture the personalities of some […]
Ellery Cohen: I was fortunate enough to meet and photograph Ellery Cohen in my studio. Ellery is musician, and he is so incredibly talented. He wanted three distinct studio portraits of himself to use for his social media and upcoming marketing materials. Recently, Ellery has just re-launched his brand and released his latest single, ‘Us’. Ellery’s passion for his craft is truly inspiring, with a love for writing and composing, as well as performing. ‘Us’ is full of emotion. it […]

There are many things to consider: * Price * The Photographer and the experience * What is included * Your end result * The final investment Photography is more than just price: Many people make decisions based of price. Having and working to a budget is an […]
What you miss, when all you do is tell: It is pretty easy to create a webpage, a Facebook page, and an email account. How many emails do you get claiming a particular company will get you ranking as #1 on Google. How many of those emails do you just delete straight away? Tell, tell, tell. Many businesses focus solely on the copy of their website or marketing tactics. They might have an About page with a chunk of text […]
Meet Maddison Falls: I have had the pleasure of photographing Maddison Falls on two occasions. I have also bonded with her over our love of chocolate and cheese and bakery items. Once, for my birthday, she made me a donut-tower! So I can certainly tell you, this woman is more than a just pretty face! Maddison is a wildlife and landscape photographer. She is also a Melbourne local, and based in the Dandenong Ranges, where she captures beautiful imagery of […]
