When I am contacted by a small business owner wanting professional photos the first thing I do is ask them for the links to their website and social media platforms so I can review their business and try and get a sense of what makes them, uniquely them. I then brainstorm concepts and locations for their shoot before holding a telephone consultation with the client when I pitch my ideas to them and seek their input and feedback. Once we have agreed on the general direction of their session I then set to work devising a customised shoot plan with specific poses and prompts to bring it all together.

When Farrah Graham, a Self Development Coach from Accessing Possibilities, reached out to me I looked at her online presence and immediately knew I wanted to capture two emotions: pure and utter joy like that we see in young children and then in contrast absolute calm bordering on serenity. During our phone consult Farrah mentioned she would like to incorporate her treatment table in her shoot and so the structure of her session was complete and this is the result.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THE BUNURONG AND WURUNDJERI PEOPLE WHO ARE THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS OF THE LAND ON WHICH I PHOTOGRAPH.
I PAY MY RESPECTS TO THEIR ELDERS; PAST, PRESENT AND EMERGING.
