I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Neil! From the moment I walked in, he made the atmosphere super relaxing and easeful.
The session was not only professional but also incredibly pleasant, and above all, it was filled with fun and laughs.
Neil has a unique ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, capturing genuine smiles and candid moments effortlessly.
The quality of the photographs was outstanding, exceeding all my expectations. The attention to detail and creativity showcased in each shot truly reflects Neil's passion and talent for photography.
I highly recommend Neil to anyone looking for a photographer. I can't wait for another opportunity to work with them in the future!
Thanks brother!

Absolutely phenomenal working with Neil. I had a little issue with my transportation and arrived to the shoot late - Neil graciously offered a substantial discount and carried on with the shoot. At not point in time did I feel like this was a purely business, to-the-second photoshoot. Neil helped me come out of my comfort zone (even though I am pretty self-conscious) and immediately figured out how to make my request work. He is an absolute talent at reading people and personalities in a way that is tangible in a photograph. Super happy with the results - a professional, yet charismatic photo that managed to capture everything I needed for my business profile. Highly recommend! More...

A half an hour shoot turned into a half an hour shoot and a 1 and a half hour chat. What a great human you are. I cannot wait to see you progress your new coaching business Simon.

Working with Neil was great! It is easy to communicate and makes me feel very comfortable during the whole photoshoot. I will go back to have some photos taken from him whenever I'm back in Melbourne

Brenton Borges
Headshot Photographers
Neil is a fantastic photographer. His attention to detail is outstanding and the one thing we appreciated about him the most was understanding the “narrative” behind the photoshoot. We had a specific look and feel we were going for and he absolutely was able to achieve it. He was excellent at making us feel comfortable and his studio aesthetics were vibrant , soft and warm. We will definitely be using him going forward for any photos we need. Thanks again Neil. More...

Grace
Event & Party Photography
Neil was so incredibly easy to work with. He was professional, respectful of the event that we were running and just got the job done. His photography was all we hoped for and more. So many people commented that they hadn’t even realised there was a photographer present because of how seamlessly Neil worked. I have already booked him for a second event! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Something that uniquely tells a story without being staged or posed. A subject in its natural environment being themselves is a story worth telling.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What story do you want to tell? This is what I always ask before we get started. This helps me paint together how we are going to achieve this task.
What do you love most about your job?
I love my camera, and I love telling stories. When the two go hand in hand, i am like a kid in a candy store.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my business by accident. Watching other professionals taking photos of food at my cafe really intrigued me, and once I picked up the camera for the first time I just knew.
Why should our clients choose you?
I choose service over any skill I can offer the people i work with. I always over deliver in the value I give the people I work with. My skill at telling a story is the bonus.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I do offer video editing and photo editing as an extra service.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
My studio has implemented all the covid safe plans, and I am fully vaccinated.
