"Design and Style are very important in our society now," - Life Studios. "Our clients are very aware of what they want and how they want to be photographed. At least 90% of our portraits are photographed in black & white, and we incorporate a Fashion approach, which usually gives a very cosmopolitan feel to the finished Portrait."

"It's about conveying your vision, regardless of whether you're shooting for a private client or a fashion magazine."

Based in Melbourne, the founder's interest in photography began when, at ten years old, he bought his first camera - a plastic Diana F, for twenty cents at a school fete. It didn't work, but that didn't stop him going around telling everyone to smile!

When he was fifteen, his aunt gave him a Kodak Box Brownie. This time it worked, and so began the romance with the power and beauty of photographic imagery.

His love affair with photography, and his journey has continued ever since, and his ability to have fun and relax his clients can be seen in the images exhibited here and on his site.

He is in great demand for weddings, fashion shoots and corporate commercial work, for clients such as Mushroom Records, Saatchi & Saachi, Time Australia, Vogue Australia, Time-Life America, Sanity Records, Virgin Records, Penguin Books, Harpers Bazaar and the Hilton Hotel Group, to name a few.

Our photography is testimony to our passion and love of people. We have certainly come a long way from the twenty cent Diana F beginnings!
