Portrait Photography in Mackay
​
.....you find out you like the person in your portraits.
by having an experience, guided and supported
that shows you are enough, empowers and lifts confidence.
I am obsessed with building and bringing a concept or theme to life.

See the you everyone else sees.
Before we make any images in the location,
we'll have a conversation that will flow into the images created.
The print on the wall is even more a success when someone else
has a conversation about the image.

Marty the photographer
Over time I have ended up doing a lot practice and light tests. Of course the easiest subject to get when I need someone is myself. Many of these are a little ridiculous. Some I really end up liking.
I take my image making seriously however not myself. I'm relaxed and encouraging.
The point is, I also need to feel what it's like to see my own image if I am expecting you to be vulnerable.
We all have different sides to our complete self. It’s complex. In my humble space, you are allowed to be who you wish without being judged or ashamed.
Despite some nerves, you'll find excitement and empowerment, that's my job!
Taking that bit of fear on a walk with you and do it anyway.

What kind of portrait and how would like to be photographed?
Individual - because you earned it, you deserve it.
Family - you're growing, things are changing.
Sport theme - you or the kids are champs.
Avante Garde - Creative, fantasy - you are unique!
Personal Branding - your business profile needs to be updated.
Fashion - A dress you love but don't wear- re invent some glam!
Beauty - no excuses needed, you just love it.
Formals - Year 10, 11 semi formals and of course the big one.
(Fashion and Beauty opportunities come around when you attend
a wedding, social events and special moments and milestones
- getting hair and makeup done, take advantage of professional imaging)
Only recently on the news a person asked what it was like to run out of the house under a
natural disaster evacuation order/event and what residents grabbed on the way out.
Among the first words and thoughts were
"I ran around the house and grabbed our pictures off the walls"
Moments, memories and milestones are your journey which the future
generations consider precious,
and we often sweep away this current time as just life and push past it.
Add ons like hair and makeup to suit the ideas we have planned out.
What if....add a chauffeur, 2-4 fashion outfits, perhaps a professional massage
before hair and makeup, refreshments on the way.
Out to dinner with a loved one after your session!
VIP treatment for the star of the day!
In the studio space, we'll be able to create.
Your bestie (not a partner) is welcome to tag along for support.
Each look will be crafted and to achieve some looks that amplify your you.
Posing is such a jarring word, so don’t use it and don’t do it!
I prefer finding your natural space and body language,
look after you so that the images translate your posture into art
without you looking awkward.
Imagine your own “hall of fame”, a legacy that includes previous generations,
YOU and the future.
This space has art on its walls. You ARE the art of the energy around us,
forged and formed by history,
by circumstance and your own growth.
My role is translating this time we have into an artful image about your story of the now.
Everyone has a story. People are magnetic.
The way we see ourselves is completely different to how those close to us perceive us.
Being brave enough to put ourselves on show in front of others in a lasting image
is probably one of the most selfless things we can do.
You appreciate art, your family and most importantly yourself as a channel
for those that came before you,
following along with and eventually long after you.
Your confidence has grown. A legacy is important to you.
Past, present and future you, evolve and cycle, that’s why now is more important than ever.
​
I found out I love making an image reflecting that story with you.
That’s my purpose, to enhance, to craft, and therefore amplify you.
it's a process, visualizing a feeling of where you are right now,
willing to take a risk and dare yourself
- even include loved ones around you.
we can make art, a creative endeavour with poetic flavour.
forget about portraits you have seen before, let's get lost and be a better version.
show, be proud of your uniqueness, make it now,
a legacy treasured forever.
Your image is important.
Which actually means its super important to all those around you.
The kids love pictures of their mum.
The business owner who IS the face of the brand.
The athlete breaking new ground and reaching goals.
The strong independent or introvert can shine.
or just because you love to be pampered, spoilt, and empowered.
These moments and milestones can be recorded as an image,
in a stress free guided way to achieve the result you want
based around your ideas for me to work with you.
​
In fact being creative and building a scenario for the result we
collaborate on is what I love to do.
A set can be designed, make it and bring it to life
from very small scale to a production.
I really like it simple at the same time.
And I love prints on a wall or to hold or on show.
Below is an outline of a session,
if you like we can build from here to fit your moment.
Business or personal,
I am a photographer of people being or doing their thing.
Formal, corporate, family, pets or special occasion there are no labels, it’s photography.
Of course the post processing of each image I deliver is
to a high quality print magazine standard.
​
​
Images for us first, every one else becomes secondary.
My goal is to release your potential and amplify your confidence
