01 / Approach

How I work with Perth editorial clients

Brief first

Every Perth portrait and editorial project starts with a proper conversation. I want to understand what the image needs to communicate, who it is for and where it will live before any planning begins.

Technically considered

Lighting, location, timing and direction are all mapped out in pre-production. Whether shooting in a Perth studio or on location, shoot day should feel relaxed, not uncertain.

Built for use

Every frame is delivered with intent. Whether it is print, digital or campaign use across Perth and beyond, the images are edited and formatted for how they will actually be deployed.

Collaborative by default

I work well alongside stylists, creative directors and in-house marketing teams across Perth. Bring your people and I will bring mine.

Frequently asked questions

Do you shoot on location across Perth or in a studio?

Both. I shoot on location across the Perth metro area including the CBD, Fremantle, Northbridge, Subiaco and surrounding suburbs, as well as regional WA when required. I also have access to studio spaces in Perth for controlled lighting work. The right environment is always chosen based on your brief and the look we are going for, whether that is a clean white studio for headshots or a specific Perth location that suits the editorial concept.

Can you supply both photography and video from the same shoot in Perth?

Yes. Many Perth brand and editorial projects benefit from running stills and video content on the same day, which is also more cost effective for clients. This is factored into the brief and pre-production planning so neither format feels rushed or compromised on shoot day. Álom offers both photography and videography services across Perth, making it straightforward to produce a full content package from a single session.

What is included in the editing and how quickly will I receive my images?

All final selects are colour graded and retouched to a professional standard. You receive high resolution files delivered via a private online gallery, ready to download and use immediately across your website, social media and marketing channels. Turnaround time for most Perth portrait and editorial shoots is five to seven business days. Rush delivery is available on request. The number of final edited images is agreed in advance based on the scope of the shoot.

Do you work with stylists, hair and makeup artists in Perth?

Yes, and for larger editorial shoots I actively encourage it. I have established working relationships with talented Perth-based creatives across styling, hair and makeup, and can make introductions or coordinate the full production team on your behalf. Bringing in the right creative team makes a significant difference to the final result and I am happy to manage that process so you do not have to.

How far in advance should I book a portrait or editorial photographer in Perth?

For most Perth portrait shoots, headshots and personal brand photography sessions, two to three weeks notice is generally sufficient to secure a date and complete pre-production. For larger editorial projects, brand campaigns and fashion shoots in Perth, four to six weeks of lead time is recommended to allow for proper creative briefing, location scouting, styling coordination and shoot planning. For time-sensitive projects I will always do my best to accommodate shorter timeframes, so it is worth reaching out regardless of how soon you need the shoot.

How much does an editorial photographer cost in Perth?

Editorial and portrait photography pricing in Perth varies depending on the scope, duration and deliverables involved. A half day portrait or personal brand shoot typically starts from $650, while brand campaign and fashion editorial shoots are quoted based on the brief. I work with Perth businesses, brands and individuals across a range of budgets and put together accurate quotes based on your specific project. Get in touch with your details and I will have a quote back to you promptly.

I partner with brands and creatives who value substance over noise. Whether you have a campaign ready to roll or a concept that needs refining, reach out, and let’s make something remarkable together. I’m available for bookings and commissioned work.
