Portrait Gallery
Actors and performers
Hello,
and welcome to my site.
I'm a Sydney artist working in paint/mixed media and digital photography.
I specialize in portraits of all types and the human figure. I take commissions for photographic portraits and mixed media portraits which are built upon initial photographic images.
My photographic images are coming from the perspective of the depth of the intrinsic character and hence beauty of the subject.
I work in a small home studio and on location. I also do travel to clients and photograph them in their home environments - especially for family portraits.
I have a background in Dramatic Art, Fine Art, Fashion, Film & Television, Creative Writing and Make-up.
I also offer actors headshots, dancers performance images, business portraits and fashion images for small brands. I'm aware of the difference in requirements for each of these and work with clients towards their expectations. Rest assured I am able to deliver to a high standard in each of these areas.
My aesthetic evolves from my theatrical background, knowledge of costume, experience in film and television and appreciation of history. I love to shoot in textured locations, make my own backdrops and have an extensive collection of costumes which I use to style my subjects when required.
My photographic sessions are a true collaboration and very creative for both subject and myself.
I am equally enthusiastic working with inexperienced non-creatives as with dancers, actors, models, performers and all forms of creatives.
Please enjoy browsing my site for a small selection of the various categories in which I work. I hope to be able to chat with you about a potential session in the near future.
