If you are looking for a place to start building your business or brand in Western Australia, then Perth is the place to be! As the capital and largest WA city, it is also a thriving hub of people, brands, and products all fighting for air time and attention. Without engaging and impactful images even a brilliant idea is not likely to get much traction here. That’s why the work of the top 8 Perth commercial photographers is so worth taking a close look at! Each of these creative professionals has mastered the art of visual media that captivates right from the start while sharing with viewers the essential message of your brand!
1. Jody D’Arcy
Jody D’Arcy is the creative partner of choice when looking for editorial and commercial photography. Her specialties include real estate, magazine editorials, advertising campaigns, and architecture. We love how Jody showcases a space from a refined, fine art perspective. In fact, not a single element in the frame feels unintended or out of place.
What’s more, Jody has an entire team of interior, prop, and food stylists and commercial lighting to ensure that viewers see precisely the final vision you wish when collaborating with her!
2. Sum Effect Studio
Heartfelt, genuine smiles are a major part of the Sum Effect Studio’s brand! We see these throughout their body of work. In fact, they are remarkable because a true smile is the mark of photographers that can keep their clients at ease in front of the camera. A great smile also transmits the essence of who a subject is to the viewer, a skill that not every commercial photographer can do well. And the smiles that result when collaborators view their completed work inspire this studio to keep on creating.
3. Dion Robeson
Lifestyle, interior, and architectural photography are the favored genre of Dion Robeson, Perth commercial photographer. He describes his style as “minimalist and crisp,” adjectives we entirely agree with when viewing his portfolio.
Dion’s work has a distinct sense of how lines and shapes enter and exit the frame. He allows the shadow to balance light without straying into an unnatural HDR presentation of space. And we get a sense of not only the possibilities but the simple beauty and craftsmanship of the architecture. The colors, curves, and other elements are the result of years of practice and hours of labor.
4. Kyle Spyrides of Soul Gazing Photography
Kyle Spyrides of Soul Gazing Photography is a confident and passionate creative. In fact, his photography is an outgrowth of his love of the visual arts’ ability to convey who you are to a wider audience. The “who” may be a person, brand, or service. However, Kyle always manages to refine the message and then present his subjects in an engaging and exciting way! You will often see a celebratory note in much of Kyle’s work, as if both he and his client are truly thrilled to be working together, creating something entirely new through their shared passion!
As he shares with us: “My business came about as a natural development from my deep interest in powerful imagery. My ambition is to move people with my photography by creating photographs that would draw you in and pique your interest as you peel back the layers behind that moment in time.”
5. Speedlite Photo
With over 20 years of photography experience, Martin Poole of Speedlite Photo uses his talents to tell stories and create emotional bonds between the viewer and the subject of his images. As he shares with us: “my greatest asset is my ability to connect with people through the lens and create images that tell a story.”
Portraiture is his strong suit, from commercial and non-commercial angles. In one series, Martin may be telling a lifestyle story about his subjects on a day outing or urban fashion photoshoot. While in others, he offers a polished and professional portrait for corporate clients looking to cultivate the right tone for their business cards and website.
6. Dennis Tan Creative
Perth commercial photographers like Dennis Tan offer a beautifully subdued and natural take on this genre of visual arts. You may have seen his work already in magazines, advertisements, and PR campaigns for national companies. Where many other commercial artists prefer loud colors and bright exposure, Dennis favors more controlled lighting and shades that give a true-to-life flavor to his collaborations.
Besides commercial photography, Dennis is also an incredibly talented candid wedding photographer. He uses a photojournalistic approach, allowing his couples to enjoy the moment while he shoots organically moments throughout the day.
7. Abigail Harman
Few Perth commercial photographers have the collective experience that Abigail Harman does! She has been working for over 40 years to provide professional results to US, UK, and Australian businesses looking to get the word out about their services and products. Her current partners include event and corporate headshots for major organizations like Rio Tinto.
Abigail provides aerial views and on-the-ground coverage of operations and the people behind them. This helps business partners and the general public better understand the values of Abigail’s commercial partners.
8. Robert Frith of Acorn Photo
The breadth of Robert Frith’s work is massive, touching on most of the major genres of commercial photography. We see architectural images, industrial shots, food photography, tourism, and much more in his portfolio. Anywhere there is a story to be told about businesses and the services or products they offer, Rob is there with a camera in hand!
His style is as interesting as his subject matter, using vibrant contrast and color in ways that celebrate the beauty and artistry of the scene as much as document the subject itself. Rob’s eye for artistic lens flare, dramatic natural light, and other elements all ensure a distinct emotional tone is transmitted with each image.
