FAQ
01 Do you only shoot film?
Mostly, yes. I work primarily on 35mm and 120 film — that slower, more deliberate process is the whole point. When a brief genuinely calls for it I'll shoot select digital, but film is the heart of what I do.
02 Where are you based, and do you travel?
I'm based in Brisbane and available right across Australia and worldwide. A lot of the archive here was shot on the road — travel is part of the job, so distance is rarely an issue.
03 What do you photograph?
My work sits between portrait and documentary — fashion and editorial, artists and musicians, and honest photographs of people I have only just met. If it is about a person and a real moment, it is for me.
04 How does booking work?
Start with the contact page — tell me who you are and the idea. From there we will talk through the concept, timing and locations, and I will put together a plan and a quote before anything is locked in.
05 What does it cost?
Every shoot is scoped to the brief, so there is no fixed price list. Send through what you have in mind and I will come back with a quote.
06 What's the turnaround?
Because it is film — developed, scanned and hand-edited — final images take a little longer than digital. I will always give you a realistic timeline when we book, and a small preview selection comes through first.
07 Do you use presets or heavy retouching?
No presets, and nothing over-worked. Colour and grain are left largely as the film gave them — the goal is an honest image with character, not a filter.
08 How many images will I receive?
You will get a considered, final edit rather than every frame — the strongest images, carefully chosen. The exact count depends on the session, and we will set expectations before we shoot.
09 Why film in 2026?
Film demands patience. It asks you to slow down, observe, and make every frame count — no endless burst, no instant preview. That constraint is exactly what keeps the work honest and human.
