5-star service! Everything went swimmingly

Portrait photoshoot for 3 people

$300

Maria was lovely to deal with in the lead up to our shoot. She was kind and understanding and flexible with last minute location changes. She arrived on time with her lovely husband Daniel and made us feel very comfortable and stress free. We had two fussy little ones squirming all over the place but somehow she managed to capture the most beautiful photos! Far more than I could’ve imagined. I could not recommend Maria more highly! You will not be disappointed. I hope to have more moments captured in the future. Thank you!

$800

Sydney, New South Wales

16th Oct 2025

EDIT: Time is 2pm to 5pm Location: Hyde Park, Sydney meeting at the Archibald Fountain i have arranged a three hour photoshoot with Scholarship recipients. I'm looking to take group and individual photos in Hyde Park, Sydney. Examples of the types of photos attached. For individual portraits, shallow depth of field and space around the portrait (both sides) to allow for graphic design of different products (example below of a designed product). Body slightly angled away, but with the subject looking at the camera face front on. Preferably with a smiling expression (but not an over the top grin or laughing). For group shots, shots should be interactive and natural. Groups of three are preferred but groups of 2-5 are also welcome, with a tight to medium framing, like the examples below. A variety of portrait and landscape for group photos should be taken.

Hi! I’m looking for a photographer near Waterfall, NSW to help me take some beautiful and moody portraits something I can hang on my wall and use as a standout profile photo on my social media. I’m quite shy, don’t usually smile much in photos, and honestly don’t know what I’m doing in front of the camera 😅 – so I need someone who’s confident, fun, and willing to direct me and boss me around a bit during the shoot! Since I don’t drive, I’d love to do the shoot somewhere local there are some beautiful nature spots here in Waterfall we could use as a backdrop. I’d also like to take a few indoor shots if possible. What I’m after: ✓Portraits with a mysterious, artistic vibe ✓Nature and indoor photos ✓Close-up and full-body shots ✓3 outfit changes ✓Help with posing and direction (because I’m very awkward!) ✓A few great photos to use as my profile photo Timing: Flexible – sometime in the next few weeks If you’re a relaxed, creative photographer who loves working with shy-but-willing clients, I’d love to hear from you! See photos below for some ideas. Thanks! 😊 PS: Sorry for the confusion, I initially put the price as $1234 as I don't know how much these things cost but.. make me an offer! ☺️

Indoor Portrait Photographer

$300

Sydney NSW, Australia

3rd Jul 2025

Seeking an experienced photographer for a private indoor portrait session focused on feminine elegance, soft sensuality, and artistic styling. The shoot will involve tasteful, intimate-style wardrobe (think robes, silhouettes, or draped fabrics), with an emphasis on mood, lighting, and storytelling rather than overt posing. The aesthetic is refined, understated, and personal — not commercial or glamour-focused. I've listed a location, but I’m open to studio or indoor spaces across the Central Coast that offer good lighting, privacy, and a comfortable atmosphere. Details: Style: Soft, elegant, creative portraiture with an intimate feel Location: Any indoor/studio space (open to suggestions – must be private) Date: Flexible within [insert timeframe] Duration: 1–2 hours Deliverables: Edited high-resolution digital images (personal use) Experience with editorial, moody lighting, or styled portrait work is ideal. Please link your portfolio (especially similar styles) if available.

Need Studio Photographer – Business + Personal Branding Portraits

$220

Sydney NSW, Australia

8th Jun 2025

I’m looking for a professional photographer in Sydney for a 1.5-hour studio session. Photos will be used across business (LinkedIn, website) and personal branding (social media, portfolio).

Had a great experience shooting with Trevo. He’s professional, easy to work with, and really knows how to bring out your best angles. The studio setup was clean and minimal, which made the final photos sharp, versatile, and perfect for both professional and personal use. He gave clear direction but also let me bring my own vibe to the shoot. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their image with high-quality portraits. — Ammar Khan

Two Custom Hand-Drawn Portraits – Special Leaving Gifts

$450

Maroubra NSW 2035, Australia

27th Apr 2025

Task Title: Two Custom Hand-Drawn Portraits – Special Leaving Gifts Task Description: I’m looking for a talented artist to create two beautiful, hand-drawn portraits as very special leaving gifts. These are very special to me, so I’m looking for someone who will show care and attention to detail and capture exactly what I’m envisioning. • One portrait: A person with their two dogs. • One portrait: A family (husband, wife, two kids, and two dogs). The portraits should capture the deep bond between them and their dogs — they love them like family. I’d like the drawings to feel elegant, heartfelt, and full of life — something that can be treasured forever. Medium can be pencil, charcoal, or watercolour — open to your advice on what will look most beautiful when framed. Ideal size is around A3 or similar. Here’s a quote to be included for the first portrait: “The love you give your dogs is a reflection of the beautiful, kind soul you are. Your heart will always be their home.” For the second portrait: “Family is where love and paws meet. Your hearts will always be their home.” I’ll provide good quality reference photos. Deadline: Ideally completed before Thursday night (farewell gathering is Friday). Budget: Around $400 total (this budget is for the artwork itself — I’ll be buying frames separately). Collection Details: I’m located in Sydney and am willing to drive up to 100km to collect the completed portraits in person. I can pick them up on Thursday night. Please share examples of your previous work.

Amazing! Soo professional and detailed. I love the photos. Exactly what I asked for.
