GRAPHY
Hey there! I’m a Canberra-based photographer specialising in food photography.
I take photos of food, and I make it look damn good. It’s my job to get those mouths watering, while also showcasing your venue’s unique brand and personality.
I turn up to every shoot with your specific brand in mind, and I make sure your venue’s unique identity is reflected in the shots I take for you. You won’t find a one-size-fits-all approach here.
Your visuals should echo the essence of your venue, offerings, and voice. It goes beyond mere snapshots of food, staff, and spaces. It’s about uncovering the nuanced details that make your food, staff, and space stand out. Every element, from the colour palette and backdrops to lighting and composition, is given careful consideration.
I’ve photographed some of Canberra’s most beloved hospitality institutions. Whether you need someone to shoot your new menu for online ordering, or you need a full suite of images for your website, Google listing, social media, press releases, EDM and print – I’ve got you covered.
When you work with me, we capture things the right way, communicating personality through visuals.
THE PROCESS + PACKAGES
I’ll give you a buzz (or we can catch up for a drink if you’d prefer) to discuss your needs and get to know each other. During this (free) discovery call, we’ll review what makes your business unique, locations, your story and style, and how you'll ultimately use your images.
Everyone’s focus and needs are different. As such, not every package will be the same. With prices starting at $500 ex GST, theres a package to suit every need.
Do you need regularly refreshed images? Let’s secure a retainer system - giving you peace of mind, knowing I’ll always be there to help freshen things up, keeping your brand visuals consistent and strong.
THE BASICS
Photography of up to one hour, and up to 20 dishes on a plain background - anything from white to wood to a colour of your choice.
This is what every venue needs for their menu - whether it be for website, online ordering platform, or delivery apps.
THE SOCIAL
Up to two hours, capturing a series of styled and creative images engineered to get mouths watering.
This is the imagery that sells your food.
Perfect for filling your social media feed, fleshing out the website, print (menus/posters/billboards/signs), Google listings, media releases and EDM.
THE WORKS
Up to four hours, capturing an extensive suite of imagery, including everything from the first two packages, as well as wide shots of your venue, your staff, your service, your atmosphere and vibe.
This is the imagery that defines your brand.
Showcasing your venue’s unique brand and personality is how you become an institution in a city bursting at the seams with new restaurants.

CLIENT GALLERIES
TIGER LANE
More of a sensory experience than a dining destination, this Canberra food precinct echoes the hawker-style eateries found in the pan-Asian world. Contemporary, vibrant, eclectic and delicious. A total playground for a photographer. With this many venues all in one place, I’m in and out of here every month capturing updated imagery for the ever-changing menus.
LITTLE SUTTON BAKEHOUSE
Country charm and just really, really good bread. The community love them, and those who don’t know are missing out. I work closely with the team to regularly update their imagery.
LOQUITA
One of the staples of the Garema Place hospitality scene in Canberra, this beloved institution serves up tequila, cocktails and tacos. High energy, punchy flavours and bright flash.
VIKINGS GROUP
With multiple locations across Canberra’s South, chances are you’ve been here once or twice. Seeing the need for regular updated imagery, the team at Vikings Group frequently get me on board to photograph new menus and venue photography at their multiple locations, as well as other venues across Canberra. Photos have been used on website, social media, app, print and in-house digital signage.
LOCALE PIZZERIA
Bright, summery, Italian vibes. Food that’s best enjoyed with friends. To capture the atmosphere called for hard flash, bold, bright colours and tight details.
GOODBERRY’S
The Canberra dessert institution. You know it, you love it, you’ve spent more evenings here eating frozen custard with friends than you care to admit. Goodberry’s booked me to photograph their more savoury food selection, as well as some more updated, contemporary content for socials.
DEAKIN AND ME
‘A friendly cafe’. Say no more. Great food and exceptional service. Owned and operated by hospitality veterans who understand the need for high quality photography, I pop in to capture content for the team each time the menu changes. Imagery is used primarily on social media, as well website and media releases.
PIALLIGO ESTATE
Farm-to-table, fine dining nestled in the gorgeous Pialligo Estate. I worked regularly with the team while the venue was open, creating a range of images for each new menu. Content was used across website, app, EDM, socials and print.
I’ve assisted Canberra restaurants, bars, businesses and other hospitality brands spice up their Instagram feeds and websites with consistent, dynamic, fresh image content. Here are just a few…
