COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Mudgee, Blue Mountains & Central West NSW

The Same Eye. A Different Brief.

I've spent nearly 15 years photographing weddings, which means I've also spent nearly 15 years being an event photographer, a portrait photographer, a food and wine photographer, an interiors photographer and a fashion photographer - all in the same day. Commercial work is just that skillset applied to a different brief.

A Master of Fine Arts trained my eye. A Communications degree trained me to find the story. Together they mean I don't just take photos of your business - I find the images that make people stop, look and remember you.

I'm based in Orange NSW and work with businesses, brands and organisations across Bathurst, Dubbo, Mudgee, Blue Mountains and Central West NSW. My clients include Essential Energy, Santos, Orange City Council, Charles Sturt University, Printhie Wines, Philip Shaw, Jumbled and more - and my work has been published in Architectural Digest, Gourmet Traveller Wine, The Australian and beyond.

Every shoot is relaxed, efficient and tailored completely to your brief. You'll end up with images that actually look like your brand - not stock photos that could belong to anyone.

Corporate events, award ceremonies, festivals, conferences, product launches and everything in between.

I've been shooting events across Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Mudgee and Central West NSW for nearly 15 years. Fast-paced, high pressure, lots of moving parts - it's honestly one of my favourite things to do.

I arrive prepared, work efficiently and quietly, and make sure every important moment is captured - from keynote speakers and award presentations to candid networking moments and the atmosphere of the room. You'll barely notice I'm there. Your attendees absolutely will.

I regularly cover: Award ceremonies and presentations, conferences and gala dinners, festivals and fundraisers, exhibitions and trade shows, activations and product launches, parties and special events.

Headshot Photographer

Professional headshots across Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Mudgee and Central West NSW.

A great headshot does more than make you look professional. It makes people trust you before they've even met you.

I've been photographing humans for nearly 15 years - weddings, corporate teams, artists, business owners - and the one thing I know for certain is that almost everyone hates having their photo taken. By the end of a headshot session with me? They're usually asking when we can do it again.

No stiff poses. No awkward smiles. No looking like you're tolerating the experience. Just a relaxed, enjoyable session that results in images you'll actually want to use.

What's included: Studio backdrop and lighting if required, multiple locations, multiple outfit changes and looks, posing and styling guidance throughout.

Perfect for: LinkedIn profiles, website bios, award submissions, media appearances, speaker profiles, team pages, marketing materials and anything else that needs a photo that actually looks like you.

From $450 + GST for up to an hour.

Commercial Client Testimonials

  • "Yes, Kirsten gets all 5 Stars. Recommended by a another photographer, Kirsten has worked on several jobs with me over a short time span to bring my graphic design jobs to the next level. Stock photography has its place - but nothing beats your own library of photos on hand that are unique to you and your business. And Kirsten does just that - captures your brand personality. Not only are the photos incredible, but the turnaround time from shoot day to delivery is miraculous."

    Mel Hoey - Made of Fridays for Forbes City Council

    Mel Watson - Coach

  • "Kirsten was fantastic to work with. She was accommodating with her time and rang me to discuss the brief I had provided to ensure she was clear about the project. At the event, she was professional and worked hard to capture the shots we required, providing more imagery than we were expecting which was a nice surprise. The images captured the event perfectly and I would definitely recommend Kirsten to anyone requiring event photography."

    Holly Whitaker - Banksia Orange
