As well as photography, our team offers photo retouching, video filming and editing and even website creation.

We work in a creative industry, but professionalism and being easy to work with is our number one goal.

We have never had an unsatisfied client, and we aim to keep it that way.

What to expect from your shoot with us

• Check whether your company has guidelines for its staff photos and forward them to us.
• Decide on the look you are aiming for, e.g. friendly, approachable, professional, intimidating.
• Make sure staff are neatly groomed as applicable to your industry (if getting a hair cut or trying on a new style, try to do it a few days before the shoot, so it has time to settle)
• Consider and choose a backdrop and pose which represents the look you’re going for
• Practice your smile and poses in front of a mirror
• Make sure to bring any hair or make-up supplies in case you need to touch them up before the shoot.
• Get a great night’s sleep!
• Please let us know these things in advance as they will affect the lighting, backdrops and equipment setups.

• We generally shoot with a senior photographer and an assistant, so if security passes are required, please organise them for both of us.
• When we arrive, we take around 15 minutes to set up and test lighting so we can get your staff members through with as little disruption to their day as possible.
• If you are organising a team, please provide a list of team members to tick off.
• If your Project Agreement has not been signed yet, it will need to be completed before we are able to begin shooting.
• We often shoot tethered to an iPad so you can review each image as we go, it’s a great idea to have the person in charge available to review the photos and make sure each has approval. It also speeds up the process as our photographer can mark the numbers down on the camera for later.
• Each person being shot will have around 5-10 minutes of shooting time with us. We understand that many people are uncomfortable in front of the camera, so we try to make the process as quick and painless as possible.
• Don’t forget to bring your smile and a sense of humour!

• Once we have the approval of photos on the day of the shoot, we will pack and up and head back to our studio.
• Within 48 hours, your images will appear in a password-protected online gallery for you to choose your favourites for us to edit.
• Once edited, we will send through low resolution watermarked versions for approval. Any editing changes which need to be made can be at this time.
• Then once we have received the remainder of your balance, you will be sent the full-sized versions of your images. We can also provide you with web-optimised or square-cropped images if you would like.
• We upload the edited images to a secure Google Drive account where you can download them and also send the images via registered mail if applicable.

Thanks for shooting with us!

Chalk Studio – Commercial Photographers Melbourne

0402 266 257

Chalk Studio is a Melbourne photography business run by me, Stefan Postles. For more than 20 years, I’ve been taking photos that move people, sell products and spark imaginations. Any professional photographer can produce nice shots. That goes without saying. What I do at Chalk Studio is deliver a premium experience that makes managing your project (and life) easier, so you’ll enjoy the ride as much as you love the results.

I specialise in commercial photography, architectural photography and portraits.

CHALK STUDIO MELBOURNE COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

ABOUT CHALK STUDIO MELBOURNE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m Stefan –

a Melbourne photographer with more than 20 years of experience and the one-man band that is Chalk Studio. My love affair with photography started as a teenager. It began as a bit of fun, but it wasn’t long before my photos were being published in skateboard and snowboarding magazines. I decided to pursue a career in photography and, since then, I’ve clocked up thousands of hours behind the lens.

Over the past two decades, I’ve been fortunate to work with incredible clients across Australia and beyond. My work has been featured on the front page of most Australian newspapers, in major magazines, on gallery walls, and in powerful campaigns for some of the world’s most recognisable brands. I’ve worked with government departments, media outlets, corporate clients and individuals, amassing experience and knowledge across all areas of photography.

There’s a massive number of Melbourne photographers with impressive portfolios. So why choose Stefan? I think it comes down to confidence. Having worked with hundreds of clients, I understand how daunting it can be to find the right photographer. Of course, you want exceptional shots – but you also want someone who is flexible, reliable, creative and efficient. Someone who can interpret your vision (even when you’re not sure what that looks like). You also want a photographer who makes the process easy and enjoyable. That’s what I deliver at Chalk Studio. Great photos and a stress-free experience you can rely on.

I work with you to tailor a strategy based on your goals, budget and resources. I understand that not everyone thinks visually, so I provide options and examples to ensure we’re always on the same page. If you have a large advertising project, I can even assemble a full team encompassing make-up, styling, art direction and props. All you need to do is show up – or leave everything to me.

When it comes to your final shots, I’m not satisfied unless you are. That’s how I’ve been able to build Chalk Studio on word-of-mouth and referrals. Here’s what some of my happy clients have to say about my work.

Zoom Studio – Commercial Photographer Melbourne

0417 509 956

Welcome to Zoom Studio

Zoom studio is the new name for all commercial work from Aguiar Photography. You will see the Aguiar Photography logo on some videos and articles. Aguiar Photography Logo

We are located in Wantirna South, a few kilometres from Melbourne and have a very comfortable and fun studio. We mainly photograph products for advertising and portraits. 

Our work is very diverse, and we love it! In addition to product photography, we photograph and film business sites, restaurants, models, musicians and shoot for fashion catalogues.

Give us a call, and let’s talk about your next project.

Commercial photography and video services in Melbourne

For all your commercial photography requirements, including advertising, product, events, and portraits, all with super quality, speed and great price.

Let us help your business with our commercial advertising photos. Your business places, products, people and whatever makes you successful. Let your clients see you in the best light.

Commercial photography is a very broad definition

We have a dedicated area of the website and many articles about product photography on a white background and lifestyle.

Food photography is a specialisation that includes food styling and, in many cases, props and backgrounds. We also have pages and articles dedicated to explain and show our work in this area.

We will cover all your business events and have it all well documented and with minimum fuzz. 

This page shows some businesses we photographed and activities on those businesses. The aiming style is documental but from the best possible angle and light. It is to give your business clients a good but true representation of your business and services. This is super-effective advertising because your client believes in what they see and as a result, they believe in your business.

Photography of external commercial and business buildings

There are many reasons you should consider photographing the business building where you operate. It helps your clients in locating your business, give them a perception of how prestigious your business is, its size, and it all leads to them trust you and your business.

These photos were done for a client that has consulting rooms in these hospitals. They are very well known and important hospitals in Melbourne. They tell the client that this client is in a convenient and comfortable place.

Another great reason to include external photos of your building is to show its size and that you are capable of operating at a high capacity and volume.

Even small businesses should consider having some photos of their external areas, including parking spaces.

You know your services and products are good, and we want to show it. Show how you do what you do, how good looking your product is, how large and nice your place is, and in some cases, it is good to show how the clients feel in your business.

Commercial Photography FAQs

How to Get Started in Commercial Photography?

If you are a wedding, portrait, pet or generalist photographer and want to make a change with your business and/or add a lucrative revenue stream, you may have considered offering your photography services to companies and small businesses (e.g. ‘commercial photography’).

Some of these businesses may have even approached you to do work for them.

It’s exciting to think about because the pay is often many multiples more than what you can charge private clients for investment. Still, it can also feel overwhelming just getting started due to the lack of information available.

How to Write a Business Plan as a Commercial Photographer?

You’re probably saying to yourself right now, “Hold on a second… a business plan is for an actual business with a storefront!” 

You couldn’t be more incorrect if that’s what you said. Commercial photography can be your one-person business if you get good at it and expand your client base. That’s why writing a business plan for your aims is a smart idea.

Let’s say you’re going to do corporate-brochure commercial photography. Well, identify who your target audience is going to be. 

From there, brainstorm timetables and various fees for specific project completions – you’ll want to know exactly how to respond to different leads that come through your sales funnel.

How Do You Price Commercial Photography and Bidding Software?

It’s very hard to provide accurate pricing for image licenses (the rights-managed ‘leasing fee’ you charge to clients for the use of your images) without using any pricing database/program.

Many new commercial photographers resort to asking others what they charge and then pull a number out of the air, which is never a good strategy.

So having software that you can use as a tool when calculating licensing fees can be extremely helpful.

Similarly, it can be challenging to bid on an agency job without bidding software. You need both to provide fair pricing and appear to be the professional photographer that you are.

The two types of software that most commercial photographers use are BlinkBid, and FotoQuote/FotoBiz X by Cradoc Software.

How to Create a Portfolio for Commercial Photography?

Ideally, you’ll have a separate website with only your photography that you’ll use to target and appeal to commercial clients.

Keep the branding simple, and include only your logo and galleries of your very best work. Your five-star shots. Think: cream-of-the-crop-plan to retouch every photo to perfection before placing it in a gallery.

Don’t be afraid to feature your best photos as full-screen photos. (If you don’t know what your best photos are, place a handful in a post in a photography group and ask other people which one is best!)

And if you don’t feel a photo is a high enough quality to display full-screen, then it shouldn’t be in your commercial photography portfolio. But, again, the key is to impress a potential client with the quality of your work.

After you have some jobs under your belt, you will also place your ‘client list’ (a list of companies you have shot for) on that portfolio website.

How to Get Clients as a Commercial Photographer?

Think of which friends and family you could reach out to help you pitch your commercial photography services to the companies they work for.

Maybe you decide to do a corporate headshot day, and you ask your friend or family for an ‘in’ with their marketing team.

Or you mention that you are doing product photography and ask them if they know someone at their company you can contact to send you a product you can photograph for your portfolio.

Take time to go through your friend’s lists and see if any of them work at/for companies you’d love to work with.

Look at the relationships they have with other businesses in your community. Maybe they are friends with the owner of a local children’s boutique or pet store and can send over a glowing referral.

A direct connection and ‘in’ is worth its weight in gold, and this can be valuable even if it’s not your ideal type of client since the experience you are gaining is valuable all on its own.

Don’t be afraid to leverage the connections you already have when getting started in commercial photography.

It’s the best thing you can do. If you build a career as a commercial photographer, that career will truly be built on connections.

Headshot – Commercial Photographers Melbourne

03 9642 1659

Some people are naturally photogenic. They’re rare. Most of us need persuasion to pose for a photograph, and even then, we usually wince at the outcome. It was this awareness, from experiences on both sides of the lens, that in January 2000 brought The Melbourne Headshot Company into being.

For years, award-winning photographers Andrew and Robyn Campbell had been watching clients squirm their way through sittings as though in a dentist’s chair; they decided to take a streamlined, professional approach to corporate portraiture that for clients would be all-gain and no-pain.

Andrew and Robyn wanted clients to enjoy the experience of having their photos taken. In a world of routine, run-of-the-mill pictorial clichés, an arresting or memorable portrait is a competitive edge – not to mention a personal affirmation.

Having your photograph taken shouldn’t be a burden, or a duty, or an irritation. It should be about bringing out your best and showing it off to the world. It should be easy. It should be fun. The Melbourne Headshot Company is about giving you the best possible experience – and the image to go with it.

Headshots As Impressive As You!

Melbourne Headshot Company creates a unique photography experience that visually defines, positions and depicts leadership and inspiration.

We Don’t Just Take Your Picture… We Create Your Image

Your headshot is your personal logo, often the first thing that someone is going to associate with you. It is a major part of your audience deciding if they want to connect and work with you.

Being the first opportunity to create an impactful impression and begin to develop a personal connection with your target audience from clients, colleagues and collaborators.

Personal Branding Photography is about capturing who you are, what you do and what makes you stand out! 

 

The Melbourne Headshot Company will help you create images that capture true and authentic images for your personal brand.

Showcase a Unified, Stable and Current Corporate Team Image.

Group and Team images are a great addition to company websites and other promotional material to show the faces behind your workforce.

ABOUT MARCEL VAN DER HORST

That has been going for 13 years now. It started off as a hobby, which grew into a business selling prints when digital photography became a more commonplace way of taking photographs. The journey into wedding photography was by chance, helping a friend out photographing his sister’s wedding. Ever since it turned into a full-time career after being in the automotive accessory retail and wholesale trade for 18 years, yes, he’s that old! To date, there have been over 350 weddings photographed for various leading studios and under his own brand. 

Full-time photography started off when there was an opening to work for a real estate company shooting photo and video to work alongside the weddings, which are seasonal in Melbourne. This opened doors to more commercial work that leant towards a speciality in restaurants and fitness/gyms. His careful eye for detail and composition also translates into his wedding work with very precise lines, framing and editing. Having a customer service background, he is very client-focused and aims to get down to the crux of why they want to hire a professional photographer or videographer, all in order to service his clients better.  

He can talk about scotch whiskeys all day, the ups and downs of real estate, custom car building and restoration, melts at the sight of dogs and cats and loves to lift heavy things and put them down repetitively. He lives in the outer eastern suburbs with his partner Rachael and her two fur babies. 

Marcel’s brand of photography is always evolving, precise, consistent, constantly upskilling and keeping his gear up to date with the latest technology.  

Freelance Photographer Melbourne – Commercial Photographers

03 8804 1383

Corporate & Commercial

We’ll work together to create imagery that speaks to your audience and complements your company’s messaging.

My services for commercial and corporate shoots include professional photographs of your workplace, personnel, employees, corporate portraits and more. These images can be specified in advertising, brochures, catalogues and websites. As you can see in my Corporate & Commercial folio here, I cater to all industries and styles.

Hi, I’m Stav Sakellaris. As you’ve probably gathered if you’ve reached this far, I’m a freelance photographer based in Melbourne with a handy studio nestled in Collingwood. My niches are the commercial and corporate sectors, but I do like to mix things up, as you can see by my folio.

For a little background, at the age of 13, my brother gave me an SLR, and I’ve been snapping away ever since. I was trained back in the days of chemical-ridden dark rooms when a photographer needed intense but solid patience as they waited for their vision to reveal itself. Sure, processing via computer might not be as romantic, but I won’t miss those fumes… In the last few years, I have also gathered experience in the cinematography sector. You can view that work here.

In 2003, I began my own business working as a freelance commercial photographer – the business that you are reading about at this very moment. In recent years, I’ve been lucky enough to get some additional talent in-house in the form of my wonderful assistant, David.

Now, I haven’t designed this website to be a heavily curated portfolio of my “favourite” work. I don’t think that does anyone any favours. What I aim to do is show you the plethora of styles and industries that I have worked with. If your industry or your ideal style don’t appear, don’t write me off just yet – I love undertaking new challenges and exceeding expectations (who doesn’t?!).

COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Product photography (clothing, food, sportswear, jewellery, shoes, accessories, millinery, jewellery, beauty, apparel, lingerie), event photography, catwalk, runway, ad campaigns, promotional material, billboards, editorial, brochures, e-commerce, in-store posters, album covers, catalogues, blogs, publications, media, magazine, online and print ad campaigns, brochures, fliers, Instagram, retail, social media and more. Since February 2000, Blush Creative has photographed every type of commercial imagery imaginable for all types of industries, from startups to SME’s to charities and large retail chains.

We will work with you to create powerful images that best represent your product, service or concept in a way that captures the attention of your ideal customers and helps you grow your brand.

We offer super fast turnaround and reliable, professional service to suit all of your commercial photography needs.

Great product imagery is crucial to your commercial success. High-quality professional imagery will drive sales, increase brand awareness and build credibility for your brand. Whether you are a small operator or a large established business, the internet gives an even playing field for all businesses to sell online, provided your visual brand is portrayed in a way that connects with your target market.

For e-commerce, your online store, we recommend showcasing your product from a variety of different angles with specialised lighting techniques to highlight product features. It is also crucial to use high-quality images that allow zoom functionality to show product detail.

You might think you are saving money by doing your product photos yourself, but the difference between an amateur product photograph taken on your iPhone and a high-quality image taken by a professional photographer in your e-store could very well mean the difference between making or not making the sale.

We also understand that for your brand to be a success, it takes a lot more than just incredible imagery. Having been in the industry for over 20 years, we have built up relationships with many experts that we know and trust. We are happy to connect you with fantastic graphic designers, web developers, social media/SEO experts, videographers, printers, business coaches, fashion consultants and more.

Where it All Began…

We met in 1998 at a 1980’s style glamour photography studio in the Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre food court, where we both worked.

Think Kath and Kim, big hair, big earrings, taffeta, leather and lots of soft focus!

This style of ‘glamour photography’ was hugely popular in the 1980’s. But times had certainly changed. We listened to our clients tell us how there was a need to shift how the industry was perceived.

We were one of the first Melbourne photography studios to offer something new, modern, and more authentic for our clients and Blush was born on Feb 9, 2000.

We’ve had lots of ups and downs in our business over the last 20 years. We’ve seen enormous changes in our industry, including the evolution of film to digital and the change in how our clients want to be photographed and perceived, especially online. Here is one of our proud highlights.

We are extremely passionate about giving back to the community. We are proud that a Blush Creative photograph of Jo’s son, Zeke (who was born with a serious heart condition) raised $60,000 for Heartkids charity in the Canon’ Creative for a Cause’ competition.

Jo has always been very involved in fundraising and publicity for Heartkids and the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Melinda volunteers teaching art and craft to older residents at her local community centre. She is also Vice President of not-for-profit organisation Gateway Community Services and has received numerous community awards for her volunteer work.

ECOMMERCE PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

Ecommerce product photography is studio shot on a clean white background, carefully edited and deep etched (background removed).  

You can request as many angles per product as you like. 

Clothing Photography

• Flatlay shots – Clothing articles are laid flat and shot from above. 
• Ghosted Mannequin or Fill Out shots – Clothing is presented on a mannequin, but the mannequin is photoshopped out.

Amazon Product Photography

I do a lot of product photos for Amazon products, so I know the style and what you need out of the shoot. 

What will it cost?

White background photography is relatively inexpensive, all quotes are custom and based on the type of product, the number of angles needed per product and the total number of products. I try to make it accessible & affordable for everyone, especially small businesses.

​There is no minimum; if you only have 1 product, that’s absolutely fine. 

Large quantities are quoted at a discounted bulk rate, and you can have extra products shot later in the year at the same rate, even if it’s just 1 or 2 you’ve added to your line.  

​LIFESTYLE PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

Lifestyle shoots are a great way to show the vibe of your products and brand. They can be used on your website, in catalogues, advertisements, and articles.

Typically, lifestyle photography is an expensive process, but we try to offer simply styled photography at a lower price point to suit small businesses. 

To offer affordable rates, we get you to bring along all the props we think you might need. We can do all the actual styling on the day for you, though.  

Who Am I?

Hello… I’m Nicole Herrick. I’m based in Melbourne and have 20 years of experience in the Graphic Design and Photography field. I also have a lot of experience in setting up small businesses. My first was at just 21, and I’ve had a few over the years. I have gone through the process of setting up from scratch many times. 

“The biggest thing that I find my clients really appreciate is my advice on all subjects small business, not just photography. I have extensive marketing experience, and I know what works and what is a waste of money. All my clients can call and ask small business questions at any time, I’m here to help you grow!”

I’m my own boss, and I run my business from home, so I don’t have huge overheads like commercial building rental; this allows me to keep my rates affordable.

My passion and focus are helping small businesses grow. Being a small business myself, I hate seeing people get ripped off by not knowing much going into something. There are too many people out there that take advantage of newbies, so I decided to stay within this niche to provide great quality service at an affordable price.

Michael Evans Photographer – Commercial Photographer Melbourne

0421 853 978

Commercial & Industrial Photographer based in Melbourne

What an amazing time to be working as a professional photographer! When I first started shooting large format films over 25 years ago, I could never have imagined the incredible versatility and quality that I would achieve with modern digital capture. Subsequently, with the advent of drone photography, I can now capture stunning images from above or use my high megapixel cameras with an extensive range of lenses to document the world at work from the ground, hanging out the side of a helicopter, or even while working down a mine shaft.

As a commercial industrial and architectural photographer based in Melbourne, I thrive on creating modern dynamic imagery for use in company reports, websites and marketing materials. Because I specialise in corporate industrial photography, I find that my clients range from government departments to architects and construction companies, right through to local small businesses and individuals in need of product shots or just a good effective corporate portrait.

Best known for my easygoing fresh, and vibrant style, I always ensure that I approach each brief with a thorough understanding of the desired outcome. As a result, I am able to deliver technically crafted images that are as visually pleasing as they are effective in highlighting the product or brand. Shooting throughout Australia and internationally, my personal passion for travel and documenting this beautiful world is hopefully also self-evident in the Travel galleries.

If you are looking for creative technical imagery from a photographer who loves his craft, please do get in touch. 

About Michael…

My career as a commercial photographer began when I had the good fortune to be working for London based commercial and retail design giant Fitch and Company during the design boom. The diverse range of projects that the company undertook at that time meant that in any one week, I could be photographing everything from the construction at Heathrow airport through to a new office building, a shopping centre or just a single retail outlet. The week that followed might see me working as a product photographer in the studio, photographing a new telephone or vacuum cleaner prototype…

I fondly remember the purchase of my first 4×5 inch view camera during this period, whereupon I set about learning the intricacies of photographing architecture and commercial interiors. In the late 1990’s I photographed several Time Life travel books on Israel and the Middle East; thoroughly inspired by the travel bug, my journey continued, and I found myself settling in Melbourne, Australia, which I have now called home for the past 24 years.

While I continue to shoot architecture, I have developed a solid reputation as a reliable and technically skilled commercial and industrial photographer here in Melbourne; I am considered easy going and very adaptable, with excellent visual problem-solving abilities both behind the camera and in front of the computer. Working underground, underwater, in a boardroom or even from a helicopter, I am today more passionate about capturing the perfect images than I think I have ever been. Having recently added a drone to my kit bag, I am also a licensed drone pilot (CASA, $20 million public liability) and offer aerial photography as part of my imaging services. Combining the drone with a photographer’s eye is an exciting way to provide a stunning perspective to any project, particularly when combined with solid terrestrial images.

While I have become a specialist in the demanding field of industrial and commercial photography, I also plan to shoot and edit basic corporate videos, examples of which can be found on this site as compressed files for easy web streaming, although higher quality previews are available by clicking on the gear icon on the lower right-hand side of the video controls.

I consider myself fortunate indeed in that I truly love my work; in fact, it seems almost unfair to label it as ‘work’… I could no more stop looking through the viewfinder than I could give up breathing…

Within the portfolio galleries on this site, you will find the range of my professional work, as well as my recent personal projects. The travel galleries offer my insight into some of the destinations I have been fortunate enough to visit, and due to my obsession with always travelling camera in hand, they contain many more images per gallery. Travel has always been a real passion that feeds my soul on every trip I take; I very much subscribe to the sentiment that travel is the one thing that you spend money on that makes you richer.
