Professional corporate photography without awkward hands

We've always said Newcastle doesn't need another photographer... 😜 but, who better to do it than a creative agency who live, breathe, eat and sleep branding?

We capture images that represents your brand and tell your story in an imaginative new way, without the awkwardness.

With a brand photoshoot or event photography, we create images that are tailored to your products, services and people. Telling your business's story in your way.

Content Creation for Marketing

Brand photography that clicks your marketing together

Your brand is truly unique. And to tell the diversity of your story, a mix of photo's to match is needed. They are an investment, but we can guide you and plan your shoot.

Here's everything we can help with...

Corporate Headshots

Real life headshots, inside, outside, at our studio, or in your office. We'll find the best place for your photographs. We love natural shots, where you have fun, and we bring out your real personalities, whether it's reserved, relaxed or raucous β€” none of the typical posed school photos.

Let's focus, pun intended, on your brand's personality.

Candid Photography / BTS

Off the cuff moments are the best way to capture what happens behind the scenes, inviting customers into your brand. By letting people poke around behind the scenes helps them feel attached to your brand.

We always plan for some candid photoshoot time at the beginning and end of a corporate headshot session to do two things β€” loosen people up, and add that little bit extra life to what can be a pretty sterile experience. Leaving you with a bank of incredible shots you can use across your marketing.

Product photography

Our founder, and creative director began his career in branding, creating photos of products for marketing material β€” shooting for 2-3 hours, capturing almost 1500 almost identical images just to nail 4-5 images that are acceptable for retouching.

Getting it right in camera, is the simplest way to get consistent end results. There's lots of trial and error, but what we are left with is a mix of detailed, staged and complete product photos that show off what you do.

Event Photography

Capturing brand moments β€” brand launch parties, book launches, workshops, charity fundraising events, business networking β€” are part of building brand awareness and authority.

The events we capture are a mix of building rapport, and over the last 10 years in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, we've become known as one of the most captivating photography services in the area.

We've supported events of up to 500 people, with the smallest being 30 people. Events are often time-critical, so we aim to turn images around in 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions

When you book a brand photographer, you put your trust and your business in our hands.

It’s not just an investment, you’re relying on them to capture your brand's aesthetics and stories you want to tell. You must find a photographer who understands you, your business and what the message is, without a shoot feeling stodgy! We aim to connect with you as humans.

Here's some answers to questions we regularly get.

How will brand photographer help me create imagery to advance my marketing goals?

Our experience in brand photography and Above The Line (ATL) marketing means we understand you need a single point of contact β€” someone who can plan, book, shoot, edit and deliver the right images.

You also need someone who can plan a shot list that reflects your content needs. The goal should be not only to capture beautiful photos, but also photos that are intentionally created for your upcoming marketing needs.

To give you an idea, a successful campaign shoot can still be used well into the future, with many of our brand shoots representing the business up to 5 years later.

Do you have a studio?

Yes, for small products and people shoots, we have space to shoot that is all ready to go.

For larger products, bigger teams and styled shoots, taking advantage of your own offices or renting an Airbnb. By using your own office or a styled space, it means that you can keep your brand's aesthetics exactly how you want.

If you are unsure if your space is big enough or the right fit, we are happy to review and guide you on whether the lighting and space will fit your marketing plans.

Will I recieve all the images in my gallery?

No, but with most shoots we upload a larger selection of images in low res first. This allows you to look through the best images and select your absolute favourites before we retouch and deliver the high res (billboard size) images.

What areas do you cover?

We service between Sydney and Newcastle, including areas like the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley.

If you are outside these areas, but still want to work together, let us know and we will organise travel and accommodation costs.

Do you provide the original unedited RAW image files?

The images in your gallery will be edited to improve lighting, contrast, sharpness, and colour β€” we do this to match existing brand guidelines, or help direct your brand in a new direction. We do not provide unedited RAW images.

Will I have full ownership of photos?

Once delivered, you have the right to do whatever you would like with the photographs.

However, we reserve the tight to use images for marketing purposes.

Do we need to prepare for a shoot?

Yes, planning outfits, hair, and makeup is a great idea. When you book a shoot with us, 2-3 weeks before we will start sending reminders and tips on how you and your staff can prepare.

How long does it take you to edit?Β 

Our contracts on signup for a shoot say up to 2 weeks, but it's typically closer to one week, unless we are super swamped with editing, or sickness strikes, etc.

With certain types of shoot, like business events, we aim for a faster turnaround time, as we realise that hype around a launch or a gala fundraiser drops off significantly after the first week. Meaning that we aim to deliver a bank of edited images in the first 48 hours.

How do images arrive?Β 

On your very own private gallery (that can be password protected). You'll be able to favourite, download, share with your team and external agencies.

When we're finished editing images, we'll send you a link to your gallery, via email.
