Architectural Photographer Melbourne

Marketing departments and architects depend on me to create striking images that evoke their brand with just the right mood, atmosphere, attention to detail, and craft. All cost-effectively, efficiently, and hassle-free.

I specialise in Architectural, Retail, Food, Industrial, Hospitality and Headshot photography, and I can make your website or brand come alive.

I have 18 years international experience as a working photographer, and has been awarded a Master of Photography Degree from RMIT University.

My style is fast and efficient, but client-focused - always with an eye on the desired commercial outcomes. I approach my work creatively and thoughtfully while still focusing on the details with passion and cool head.

I place an emphasis is on making images that my clients can use to improve their business - I make images that have a purpose.

While the bulk of my work involves the built environment I am also confident working with human subjects. This combination often means I often shoot say, a hotel's architecture, their food, and their staff - all in the same session. Or I could be creating industrial portraits in the middle of a seaport for an industrial client.

Retail architecture clients include Ralph Lauren, Seed, Chanel, Pernod Ricard, L'Oral Paris and Brooks Brothers.

Architectural clients include DP Architects, CPG Architects, Alchemy Constructions, Surbana Jurong and Grant and Associates Architects.

Industrial clients include BHP Billiton, the Port Authority of Singapore, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, Air Liquide, Soitec.

Hotel and hospitality clients include, Shangri La Hotels Raffles Hotel Singapore, Goodwood Park Hotel Singapore, Fairmont Hotels, Starwood Group, The Hilton Group of Hotels.

I would love to work with you and your team. Feel free to contact me for a quotation.

CONTACT ME 

 

I have been a full-time commercial photographer for 20 years. Here’s a partial list of the brands I have worked with.

 

I make photographs of people, architecture, and food because this is what I am passionate about and good at.  

 

This handy combination means I can do most things - I can work with people, but I can also handle the more technical stuff.

 

I can shoot an entire hotel from its rooms to its service staff and restaurants.

 

Or I can shoot an oil rig.  I do like a challenge and a bit of variety! 

 

Different photographers have different work styles. My style is fast, client-focused, and efficient, but creative and thoughtful.

 

My commercial jobs are very result and brand-focused. This means that every image is carefully considered through the filter of what the purpose is. It's usually to sell more things - which is my job.

 

I approach most jobs with a cool head. Laid-back, but focused while encouraging a happy, team-oriented vibe on set.

 

I am creative...but I don't go off and do "my own thing" without consulting with the client first - If you want a hipster, I may not be your guy.

 

I love a happy client! I want to create images that my clients can proactively use. To make photographs that have a purpose.

 

Which makes me happy.  And when a client calls me back for that second shoot - then I know I did something right!
