What is LIFESTYLE photography?
We call lifestyle photography when the focus is to create images that tells a lot about your real you, about your memories, bringing elements, clothes that reflect your personality and story. Then we can create more than photography we create memories to be cherished forever.
What to EXPECT?
Elegant, contemporary, and naturally beautiful memories.
I will create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere making it a pleasant experience for you and your loved ones, with lots of fun. As a result, you can expect more than beautiful natural pictures, but also a soulful storytelling.
In my editing, I like to deliver a sophisticated and natural color tone with a discrete fuji film twist, yet I pride myself on these timeless black-and-white shots. Believe me, I know while photographing, before even editing which shots are meant to be in black and white.
My artistic style was developed just after finishing my degrees in Psychology and Publicity, plus plenty of photography courses and workshops with other super-talented artists.
The flow between these subjects works perfectly, once I can easily connect to people's emotions and also be attentive to all the aesthetic details which will make you love your photos.

What to Wear?
BE YOURSELF, SHOW YOUR PERSONALITY
When we are talking about lifestyle photography we are talking about being real, being ourselves. Most of the couples are stylish and I incentivise them to look cool.
The most important aspect in my opinion is having a neutral pallet colour that will help harmonise with any background. For instance jeans, white/off-white, brown, creamy, mint, rose, all these dry colours. I would avoid strong colours like red, royal blue, and colourful prints.
Fabrics with natural fibres could be an elegant touch, like pure cotton, linen and silk.
It’s also important the harmony of colours and style between the couple.
To make it simple for the man I suggest a linen shirt, or maybe just a plain cotton T-shirt, with jeans or creamy pants. If you thinking of something not too casual what about a blazer with a pocket square? If you want something even more glam fully dressed up like a black tie dress code, I am keen! I would avoid shorts if your fiancé is wearing a nice dress, but if you decide to do something super casual at the beach, all good it might work!
I always recommend having the hair and natural professional make-up done, it’s a special day and you must be glowing!
Another suggestion that really helps is searching for some references on Pinterest or even on my portfolio and making a mood board. Then you search the styles online and when you go shopping you know already the style you looking for. It also helps you get familiar with the poses.
Don’t worry if you still need help to decide, in our 30-minute video call I can help you!
Witch LOCATION?
It is personal, and I recommend you choose a place that, once more, represents a bit of your lifestyle and personality. Or some iconic spots to represent the place you are living. Maybe you will prefer it more private and do it at home, it can be super meaningful!
Here are some suggestions: Opera House and Royal Botanic Gardens are classics. The Rocks and old buildings for some urban vibes also Paddington, and Newtown for some cool vibes. Any beach in Australia is beautiful I personally like Milk Beach, Shark Beach, Bondi, Tamarama and Bronte, Gordons and Coogee, and Curl Curl Beach.
Centennial Park for something bushier, forest, greenery vibes. You can even hide an Airbnb and do something glam! The possibilities are infinite, don’t worry I can help you with that!
