Hello friend / artist who lights up the world!
Thank you so much for visiting my site and taking the time to look at my photos. It is appreciated!
I have been shooting headshots and portraits for over 15 years now, and directing perhaps even longer than that. Having worked in many casting offices while I was training to be the best photographer I could be, I got to be friends and experience first hand the selection process, as well as how a casting person decides to choose someone new for a role based on a photo.
The Australian film industry being a small industry with an over saturated amount of actors has pushed me to find an advantage for my actors when shooting headshots - I constantly listen to casting directors advice and processes, listen to past clients who have gotten in the door (to work opposite Chris Hemsworth based on one of my photos!), listen to clients who have gotten new opportunities and have thus developed a style that is unique to my skill as a director and photographer and storyteller.
Storytelling/Filmmaking and humans/characters are my passion. My shoots are outdoors in natural lighting (natural light contains a very special energy) where I search for locations that can bring out the best of you, or a character you have always dreamed of playing. We shoot like you are already living these characters on a TV show or film. We shoot to get you into the room for these characters - you and your agent are thus ready with a headshot that will inspire when the brief arrives.
I have also been known as the “fix it” photographer. American agents who can’t seem to get the right shots for their Australian clients (who work in America) send their clients to me when they are visiting Australia.
If you are passionate about storytelling, about making a movement in the industry, if you can’t seem to get your foot in the TV door with your current photos, if you are new to the industry and want to start off with a bang, if you’re not afraid to show character and your point of difference - lets chat more!
