The person behind the camera
Hi, I’m David.
Let’s make this easy.
I’m a photographer based in Craigieburn, working across Melbourne and regional Victoria. I photograph individuals, couples, families and the occasions that bring people together.
My eye for light and everyday moments runs through all my work. For your session, that starts with getting to know what you want from your photographs, and helping you feel comfortable making them.

Where will the session take place?
You can choose a location, or I can offer suggestions. I’m based in Craigieburn and work across Melbourne and regional Victoria. We’ll confirm the location and full quote before you book.
What will I receive?
Your portrait session includes a selection of carefully edited photographs in a private online gallery for viewing and download. Additional images are available. The full package details are provided after enquiry.
