Tansy Mclean
Simeon is a bundle of energy with clear vision and the ability to demonstrate what he wants from you if you are feeling a bit lost and self conscious. His artistry lies in capturing stories rather than corporate poses, making his images full of evocative emotions that draw you into the picture and an intimate connection with the model, trying re-imagine and experience what they were feeling and why they were feeling it in that moment. As one of his models on a recent shoot, I found Simeon to be patient, hard working, enthusiastic, a great problem solver and creative with his direction in helping me to understand what he was trying to draw out of me as a visual art. Fascinating process. If you are wanting dynamic unforgettable pictures that tell a story and spotlight you in extraordinary imaginative ways, hit up Simeon. I’ve already booked in for another shoot. Thanks man. You rock. More...

Simeon was a fantastic photographer to work with. I’ve worked with many in my professional career as a hairstylist and model. He gives great direction, willingness to brainstorm ideas and concepts with the shoots. And works hard to keep things in time. I would happily work with Simeon again on projects in the future More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Connection to subject, vision, self, journey, outcome
Preparation is key to allow space for creativity to show up, A well prepared shoot is like having a comprehensive shopping list, allowing us to relax and just enjoy the experience, without having to worry about all the things in our trolley.
Passion is a must, because without passion creativity dies. Something can be technically brilliant and without feeling; but what comes from the heart touches the heart and will be remembered forever
Experience- it’s important to have lived and be able to transfer that lived experience to the set.
Anything can happen on set and be a surprise, the best prepared shoot can go wrong, it’s how we respond when life shows up and still be able to deliver, take the surprise or curve ball and be open for some other magic to show up, that’s experience and the ability to harness that, then translate it to the shoot.
