Fiorella responded to a very urgent matter i needed her skills with. I really appreciated her efficiency, skill level and commitment to getting the task done. The photography session went well and she submitted many photos for me to select from and keep for later use. I will happily engage Fiorella again soon for another similar task and would recommend her to anyone else with a need for portrait photography.

If I could give more stars I would. The job Trevor assisted me with was no ordinary shoot, it was fast paced, 38+ degrees and he took it all on the chi with a smile while never accepting anything but the highest standard possible. Thank you for today, your skills behind the camera were definitely appreciated.

Portrait Photoshoot for LinkedIn & Academic Profiles

$150

Sydney, New South Wales

7th Jul 2026

I’m looking for an amateur or emerging photographer (or photography student) to do a relaxed 45–60 minute lifestyle portrait session in the Sydney CBD. The photos will be used for my LinkedIn profile, university/research profile, conference speaker bios and other professional purposes. I’m after a natural, polished and approachable look rather than traditional corporate headshots. I’m hoping to shoot in and around a library, university or similar academic setting (such as the State Library of NSW or another suitable location) with a mix of: * Natural portraits * Candid “working” shots (reading, writing or using a laptop) * Walking/environmental portraits * A few classic head-and-shoulders portraits The style I’m after is bright, modern and editorial, using natural light where possible. I’d love photos that feel genuine and relaxed rather than overly posed. Deliverables: * Approximately 20–30 professionally edited, high-resolution images * Natural colour correction and light retouching * Images suitable for personal and professional use Budget: A$100–150 (please let me know if your rate differs). When applying, please include: * A link to your portfolio, Instagram or examples of your portrait photography * Your availability over the next few weeks * Your quote I look forward to hearing from you!

Take portrait photos of my clients

$400

Sydney, New South Wales

20th May 2026

I am looking for a photographer skilled in taking human portrait shots based in Sydney to take very nice photos of my partners in restaurants. These photos will be used for TabTalks, a storytelling initiative spotlighting restaurant merchants across our ecosystem. Each feature celebrates the people behind restaurants — founders, GMs, chefs, and team members — through a short written story accompanied by a set of authentic portrait photographs taken in their restaurant environment. The visual style should feel human, documentary and authentic, capturing merchants in their natural environment rather than staged studio portraits. The scope will be 2 on-site shoot at the restaurant to be done during the week of 25 May, spread out across 2 to 3 days. Estimated shoot duration: 45–60 minutes, and we need your help to capture portraits of the merchant and the venue environment.

See was extremely easy to work with and came prepared with all his equipments. He is really good at his craft and what I loved about him was his adaptability. I had a shoot confirmed at the very last minute and despite not having the time to brief him, he showed up, displayed a tremendous eye for angles, lighting and good shots, and executed it to excellence. Thank you for everything, See!
