Covid-19 has most of us in complete lockdown, and for those in Australia right now, going to a professional headshot photographer is out of the question.

The concept of a headshot is simple enough. You know that you need an updated image. It needs to make sure that you’re recognisable. The image should be professional, and it should relate to what you do. But when it comes to a headshot or branding portrait, there are so many choices and considerations you can make. Many of my clients give me creative license to help them with choices like backgrounds, lightings and outfits. I love being able to […]

“A personal branding photoshoot? I’m not ready for that!” It’s all too common! So many of us feel self-doubt and can relate to ‘impostor syndrome’. Many people don’t feel ready to have a professional photoshoot, or simply believe they’re not worthy. And if it’s not this then it’s an array of excuses like “I would like to lose a bit more weight”, “I’m not photogenic” or “I just don’t have time – it’s not a priority”. These feelings are real […]

But Prosper’s story is a beautiful one and goes beyond me meeting him through a simple online networking group. Born in Zimbabwe, he came to Australia seven years ago in search of an Australian teacher who taught him as a child. Prosper wanted to start a new life for himself in […]

I’m a specialist headshot photographer. That means I focus on this niche area of photography. It’s what my folio is all about. It is where my experience in photography lies. While there are many headshot specialists in the inner suburbs and CBD, my studio is a little further afield in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. Lilydale, to be precise. Where is Lilydale, you ask?
