What I offer
I work across a range of photography: portraits, couples, families, events and editorial. If you have something specific in mind that doesn't fit neatly into a category, reach out anyway.
Portraits & Couples
Mini sessions from 20 minutes, full sessions up to 1.5 hours. Minimum 15 finished images from a mini, 40 from a full session, delivered through an online gallery. I work with natural light and I don't over-direct. The goal is something that feels like you, not a performance of you.
Editorial & Brand
Organisations, content creators, tours, brand portraits. Documentary-style coverage or directed sessions depending on what the work needs. I shoot honestly, whether that's capturing a guided tour as it unfolds or setting up portraits that feel like the person, not a pose.
Sessions include usage across your own website, social channels and business profiles. Paid advertising, publication and third-party use are quoted separately.
Events
Two, three or four hour coverage. Birthdays, engagements, milestones, concerts, markets, community gatherings, launches. I work quietly and stay out of the way while making sure nothing worth keeping gets missed. Full-day coverage and weddings by enquiry.
Something else in mind?
A skater who wants the shot when they finally nail it. A musician before the show. A place worth documenting. If your idea doesn't fit a category, reach out. This is often where the most interesting work happens. I'm open to trade or barter arrangements, because good photography shouldn't only be for people with money to spare.
Real estate and corporate photography also available. Get in touch for rates.
FAQ
How do I book a session with you?
Send me a message through the contact page, or email gneiss.creative@gmail.com, with what you have in mind and a date if you have one. I'll come back to you with options and a quote. Once you're happy, a deposit locks it in, and I'll send through a simple agreement and a short questionnaire. If you'd rather talk it through first, we can set up a quick call.
How long does it take to receive my photos?
Generally 10 days, depending on the session. I'll give you a clearer timeframe when we book. If you have a specific deadline, like an event, a gift or something time-sensitive, let me know upfront and I'll do my best to work around it.
Do you travel outside of Wollongong?
Yes. I'm based in Wollongong but available for work across the Illawarra, Sydney and beyond. Travel outside the region may add costs depending on location. Get in touch and we can work something out.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
For outdoor sessions, we'll make a call together closer to the date. I'm happy to reschedule if conditions are difficult, or we can lean into it. Some of the best shots happen in unexpected weather.
What should I wear?
Whatever you'd normally wear. I'm not going to ask you to coordinate outfits or avoid patterns. The goal is for you to look like yourself, not like a stock photo. If you're unsure, bring a couple of options and we can work it out on the day or talk it through beforehand.
Do you do video as well?
Not as a primary offering right now, but it's something I'm developing. If you have a specific project in mind that involves both photo and video, get in touch and we can have a conversation about it.
I have an idea that doesn't fit any of your listed services, can we still work together?
Absolutely. The listed services are a starting point, not a limit. If you've got something specific in mind, like a project, a concept or a day you want documented, reach out and tell me about it.
