Perth photographer for events, portraits, sport, food and brands.
Álom is the photography of Kia Bako-Kirkpatrick, a Perth photographer based in Inglewood. I make real, considered photography for businesses, venues, sports clubs and creatives, from event coverage and brand portraits to fitness, food and live music.
I’m Kia, a Perth photographer who works with brands, not just cameras.
I partner with Perth businesses, venues and creatives to produce photography and video that feels real and considered. My approach is grounded in strategy, so every shoot captures the authentic character of the brand I am working with.
Whether it is stills or motion, I build content for how brands actually show up, from social feeds to major campaigns. Every frame is made to be impactful, relevant and ready for the real world.
I have five years of professional photography, videography and digital marketing experience, and a marketing degree behind it. That is why my photos are planned around what you want them to do, whether that is more bookings, a better website or a stronger brand.
