Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about food, product, and interior photography, answered.

What kind of photography do you do?

My passion is telling stories through images. As a Melbourne photographer, I specialise in food, product, interior, and beverage photography. So whether you’re after moody, editorial content for a campaign, crisp e-commerce shots, or lifestyle images that capture the essence of your brand, I tailor every shoot to fit your brief.

Do you work with smaller brands too?

Absolutely! It’s one of the best parts of my job. I love collaborating with passionate local producers, independent restaurants, and Melbourne start-ups. I offer flexible options to suit different budgets and creative ideas, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Where are you based? Do you travel?

I’m based in Brighton East in Melbourne, Australia. I regularly work on projects all across Victoria, but I’m always open to travel. If you have a project further afield, just let me know.

Do you have your own studio?

I shoot from a fully equipped Melbourne studio, perfect for food, product, and beverage shoots. It has beautiful natural light and a full range of controlled lighting setups. Of course, I also love shooting on location, especially for interior projects or food shoots where we need to be close to the kitchen.

How would you describe your photography style?

I often say my style is a blend of my fine art background and a love for authentic, beautiful moments. I’m drawn to using texture, atmosphere, and painterly light to create images that feel both elevated and real—whether I’m photographing a plated dish, a styled product, or a beautifully designed space.

Can you help with food or prop styling?

Definitely. A great shot is a team effort. I have a wonderful network of experienced food, prop, and interior stylists I love to collaborate with. For smaller, more nimble projects, I’m also happy to handle the styling in-house to keep the process simple and streamlined for you.

What do I get at the end of the shoot?

You’ll receive a beautiful online gallery of high-resolution, professionally edited images, ready for you to use across print and web. We’ll make sure all the usage rights and licensing details are clearly outlined in your quote from the very beginning, so there are no surprises.

How much does a shoot cost?

Because every project is unique, my pricing is tailored to fit exactly what you need. I offer half-day and full-day rates and can create a custom package for larger projects. The best way to get an accurate idea of cost is to send me a few details about your project, and I’ll put together a clear, no-obligation quote for you.

How can I book you?

I’d love to hear about what you’re working on! The best way to start is by heading to my Contact page and sending me a message with a few details about your project. I’ll personally get in touch to chat about your ideas, timelines, and how we can create something beautiful together.
