Architectural Photographer in Byron Bay & the Northern Rivers.
I photograph houses and commercial buildings for the architects and builders who made them. I'm based in Byron Bay and most of my work is in the Northern Rivers, the Gold Coast and Brisbane, though I travel anywhere in Australia for a project. Before I picked up a camera for a living I was a carpenter. I know how a building goes together, so I notice the things a builder sweats over, like a shadow line or the junction between two materials. Those details usually end up in the photos. On a shoot I follow the light around the building. Some rooms only work in the morning and some facades only come alive late in the afternoon, so I plan the day around that and I don't rush it.
Architects and builders use my photos for award entries, their websites and to win the next job.
What I shoot:
Finished homes, Commercial and mixed-use buildings, Construction progress, Drone and aerial photos, Short video walkthroughs.
Where do you work?
Mostly Byron Bay, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby, Lennox Head and Ballina, plus the Tweed Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane. I also travel to Sydney and interstate.
Do you work with architects or with builders?
Both, and with interior designers too. I like to talk with whoever designed the place before the shoot, so I know what mattered to them.
Is drone photography included? Yes. Every package includes drone photos and I can also do a drone only shoot. I'm a licensed drone pilot. It's most useful on bigger blocks and rural sites where the land is part of the design.
What areas do you cover for architectural photography?
Based in Byron Bay, I work regularly across the Northern Rivers — including Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby, Lennox Head, and Ballina — as well as the Tweed Coast, Gold Coast, and Brisbane. I'm available Australia wide for the right projects.
Do you work with architects directly or only through builders?
Both. I work directly with architects, interior designers, and builders. Many of my projects involve close collaboration with the design team to understand the intent behind the space before the shoot begins.
Do you offer drone photography for architectural projects?
Yes. Drone photography is included in my full day packages and available as a standalone service. It's particularly effective for larger residential projects, rural properties, and builds where site context is part of the design story.
