Photography · Film · Creative direction

My name is Martin. I'm a Canberra-based photographer and creative director specialising in lifestyle content creation, editorial portraiture, and modern weddings.

I work with brands, creatives, individuals, and couples to create natural, story-driven imagery that feels considered, cinematic, and honest. I photograph using a mix of 35mm film, medium format film, and digital — choosing the medium that best suits each project.

Alongside photography, I offer short-form video and motion content for brands and creatives — focused on atmosphere, movement, and story.

Currently booking 2026–2027
Based in Canberra · Available across Sydney, Melbourne, South-East Australia, New Zealand and Japan

Editorial & lifestyleBrand · content+

Brand imagery with a cinematic, lived-in feel. Designed for businesses, clothing, personal brands, and campaigns that want to feel premium but considered, not overproduced. I work with natural and controlled light to create imagery that sits somewhere between fashion editorial and real life. Strong, intentional, and cohesive across a full set. Available for lookbooks, campaigns, social content including short form video, and ongoing brand work. Open to travel within Australia and internationally.

WeddingFrom enquiry+

A documentary approach with an editorial finish. I focus on capturing the atmosphere, emotion, and in-between moments, while still delivering images that feel elevated and timeless. Think less traditional coverage, more narrative. Coverage is tailored to the day, from ceremony and portraits through to reception. Film photography available on request. Available for destination weddings across Australia and internationally.

Portraits & headshotsFrom enquiry+

Clean, confident portraits with a strong sense of presence. Whether it's a simple headshot or a more styled session, the goal is the same: natural expression, strong light, and images that feel like you on your best day, not overworked or artificial. Sessions are streamlined and efficient, with a focus on quality over volume.

ProposalsFrom enquiry+

Quietly documenting one of the biggest moments of your life. I work discreetly to capture the proposal as it happens, then guide you into a short portrait session immediately after, while everything is still real. I can help plan timing, location, and positioning to make sure the moment lands perfectly. Available for destination proposals. Recent shoots include New Zealand, Blue Mountains, and coastal locations.

Couples & EngagementsFrom enquiry+

Editorial-style couples sessions that feel natural, not staged. We'll shoot in a way that gives you space to interact, move, and be present, while I shape the light and composition around you. The result is a set of images that feel cohesive, intimate, and cinematic. Ideal for engagements, anniversaries, or just documenting a moment in time. Travel available. Coastal, city, or destination locations.

Fine art printsCustom sizing+

Selected works available as museum-quality prints. Each image is chosen for its atmosphere, composition, and ability to live beyond the moment it was captured. Printed on archival materials with custom sizing available. For collectors or those wanting something more considered for their space.

Something ElseFrom enquiry+

If it doesn't fit neatly into a category, that's usually where the best ideas sit. Brand concepts, short-form video, creative collaborations, or something you haven't fully figured out yet. Send it through. We'll shape it into something worth making.
