How I approach your portfolio

A useful portfolio shows more than one side of you. We look at your current photographs, where you want to take your book and any agency brief, then plan the light, wardrobe and direction around that.

More than a decade photographing fashion and editorial work across Australia, New York and Paris informs those decisions. On set, I guide expression and movement, adjusting as we go. Afterwards, I help you choose photographs that work together.

Model Portfolios

Build your first book, develop an existing portfolio or plan a focused update around an agency brief. We explore different looks and expressions, then select a coherent set of finished photographs. Public portfolio sessions start from $900.

Agency Digitals

Simple, current photographs of your face and proportions for submissions, castings and updates. Sessions are available in Brisbane for $350 for unsigned models, with wardrobe consultation and direction throughout.

Practical information

I photograph models in Brisbane and Byron Bay, with Sydney bookings available during scheduled travel. Your session location is confirmed when we plan the shoot.

Parents and guardians are welcome to enquire for younger models and are involved in communication and booking. View under-18 booking information.

I also undertake selected creative tests and collaborations with models, agencies and creative teams. These are considered individually.

For application-based scouting, read the scouting information. For photographs without a modelling or portfolio goal, explore personal portraits.

Plan your shoot

Tell me what the photographs are for, your preferred city and dates, and any agency deadline. You can send your current book or ask where to begin. If you are under 18, include a parent or guardian contact.
