How the Work Runs

Three things you can count on before you arrive.

01

No awkwardness

Clear posing direction throughout. You don’t need to know what to do. That part is my job.

02

The brief gets followed

A strategy call, a shot plan, and preparation materials before we shoot. Every session has a purpose before we start.

03

Every image has a job

Built for a specific use. Agency submissions, sponsor decks, campaign content. Not just nice photos.

What Our Clients Say

Portfolios built to work.

  • “I was so impressed by the final images. My engagement has increased by about 20% on my account after posting, and I’ve become even more confident in front of the camera.”
    MEG R.
    Model, Melbourne
  • “The engagement from Nick kept our athletes calm and enthused, particularly those who were nervous to begin with, but then came into their own throughout the day.”
    Ben M.
    Melbourne Sports and aquatic centre
  • “Incredibly professional, organised, and easy to work with. The end result is always to brief, with multiple strong images to choose from..”

How I Run Sessions

Commercial studios and real locations. Never a spare room.

  • Sessions run in commercial studios, usually in Docklands or on location. Never a residential address.
  • If the studio doesn’t suit your look or your schedule, we book somewhere else that does. The space serves the shoot.
  • Bring a friend, a parent, or your agent. You don’t need to explain why.
  • Direction is verbal. I’ll tell you what to do with a pose. I won’t reach in and adjust you.
  • You review images on screen throughout the session, not just at delivery.
  • Under-18s are welcome with a parent or guardian present for the full session.

I’m a father of two daughters, and I run my business the same way I’d want any photographer working with my daughters to conduct theirs.

Who You’re Working With

Twenty-two years building brands at Microsoft and Google, before any of this.

I came to photography from corporate strategy, which is why every session starts with where you’re trying to get to rather than what looks good on the day. Trained as an editorial stylist through the Australian Style Institute. More about how I got here.
