Artist and Maker Portraits in Murwillumbah

Yes, and we would recommend it. A working studio, with tools, materials and pieces in progress, makes a more honest portrait than a hired space. Mess is fine: we can frame around it or make a feature of it.

Usually a clean, well-lit image that crops tightly for a program or catalogue, plus a wider one showing you with your work. We plan both, so you have square, upright and landscape options for whatever a curator or festival organiser asks for.

It can strengthen one. Our images of workshops and exhibitions at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery are regularly used to support its grant applications, and a professional artist portrait signals that you take your practice seriously.

It is $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST, which usually leaves room to photograph a few finished pieces and the studio as well as you. Those extra images are useful for social posts, an online shop or an exhibition submission.

Yes, as part of our commercial photography. If you sell through a website, clear images of each piece matter as much as your portrait. We built online portfolios for textile artist Patricia Smithyman and Haven Gallery, so we know how artwork and artist images work together on a page.

Absolutely. Author Dr Lisa Short chose relaxed, informal headshots on location in Lennox Head, and Penrose Design’s portraits were taken casually on a finished project. For artists, an expressive, characterful portrait often suits better than a neat head and shoulders.

Yes. We are about an hour from Murwillumbah and shoot in studios, galleries and outdoor spots up the valley. Planning happens by phone, email or video, and if several artists share a space or are part of a group show, everyone can be photographed in the same trip.
