From Garage Beginnings
to Global Clients...

My Photography Journey:

 

🏡 Humble Start

In 2018, my journey in product photography began in my parents' cramped garage. Armed with a $99 speedlight and a second-hand camera, I faced either the bitter cold or sweltering heat daily. Despite the challenging conditions, my passion burned bright, knowing this garage was just the beginning of a grand adventure.

🥹 Dreams of Bold Visuals 

I vividly remember being captivated by the stunning work of top-tier studios—photos that were bold, sharp, and bursting with colour. These images seemed to leap off the screen, embodying the spirit of major brands. I aspired to create visuals like these, and with relentless dedication, I believed that one day I would reach that level.

🥵 Years of Experimenting

Through countless years of practise and tireless post-production, I finally unlocked my dream aesthetic—“Bold, Sharp & Colourful.” This style became the hallmark of my work, capturing attention and admiration.

🤩 Getting Noticed

Finally clients began to value my work. I started to get hired for e-commerce photography, advertising campaigns, catalogue photography, social-media content, packaging photography, editorial features, promotional materials, photos for custom apps and product launches.

💰 From Garage Rates to Premium Projects

As my portfolio gained recognition, my project rates finally increased. To be transparent, I once charged between $166 to $600 USD per project. Today, my projects start at $2,000 USD, reflecting the value and quality of high-end photography. Fun fact, I have shot a lot of campaigns from a spare room in my parents home. This program can do that for you too!

📸 The Power of Quality

I share this to highlight the profound impact that exceptional photography can have. Most clients seek a return on investment that matches the quality we deliver. When we make their products truly shine, they are more than willing to invest in top-tier work. It’s that straightforward. 

✅ Join the Journey

I am so excited to share the secrets of my style with you—no gate-keeping, just a heartfelt invitation to embark on this creative journey together. Discover how you can achieve stunning results and elevate your photography to new heights.
