Building your portfolio

We’ll look at your current photographs, what you want to develop and any agency brief. I’ll help with wardrobe, expression and movement, with room to explore different sides of you. If you’re new to being photographed, I’ll guide you throughout the session.

Shooting in Sydney

I do shoot model portfolios in Sydney, although I don’t travel as often as I used to. If you’d like to fly me down for a shoot, I’m happy to discuss it. Send through your preferred dates and what you have in mind, and we’ll work out the session and travel arrangements together.

Come to Brisbane or Byron Bay

If you’re open to travelling, a shoot in Brisbane or Byron Bay could be a good fit. These are my regular shooting locations, with studio and location options to suit the photographs we’re planning.

If you fly in to shoot with me, I’m happy to pick you up from the airport if that helps. We can agree on the airport and timing when we plan your session.

Let’s plan your shoot

Tell me where you’re based, what you’d like to shoot and your preferred dates. Let me know whether you’d like me to come to Sydney or you’re open to travelling to Brisbane or Byron Bay. We’ll work out what suits you.
