Brisbane Fashion Photographer

I’m a Brisbane-based fashion photographer working with brands, designers and creative teams on campaigns, editorials and lookbooks.

My work is shaped by more than a decade photographing across Australia, New York and Paris, with an eye for natural expression, movement and the character of the clothes.

Photography & creative direction

I start with the clothes and the feeling behind the collection. From there, we shape the light, setting and direction, leaving room for movement and the moments that happen between poses.

I can develop the visual direction with you or work alongside your creative team. Casting, styling and production support are scoped around the brief, whether we’re making a small editorial story or a campaign.

Working in Brisbane & beyond

I’m based in Teneriffe, Brisbane, and work in studios and on location across Brisbane, Byron Bay and Sydney. Interstate and international projects are considered around the brief.

For production and usage details, explore brand and commercial photography.
