Photographs that look like you on a great day.
I make portraits for people who know what they want but don’t want to direct themselves. Brand photography for founders, creatives, and consultants who need images that actually hold up.

How it works
The process.
The brief call
A 20-minute video call where we talk about you — what you do, who you're trying to reach, what the photographs need to do. I'll ask about your wardrobe, your preferred light, and what you hated about your last shoot.
Shot list & prep guide
You'll get a typed brief back within 48 hours: locations, timings, clothing notes, and a mood reference PDF. No surprises on the day.
The shoot
I direct, but lightly. Most people leave saying they forgot to be nervous. We work fast when we need to and slow when we don't.
Gallery delivery
Your edited gallery lands in your inbox within 7 days. You choose your selects. Retouching is included — heavy-handed editing is not.
What people say
Their words.
“I've had brand shoots before that felt like corporate headshots. Otto's was the first time I saw myself on screen and thought — yes, that's actually me.”
“The brief process alone was worth it. By the time we got to the shoot I was calm because everything had been thought through. The images are extraordinary.”
“Booked for personal branding and ended up with images I use everywhere — my website, LinkedIn, speaking bio, even my book cover. Couldn't rate this highly enough.”
FAQ
Before you ask.
Do you shoot outside of Hobart?
Yes — I travel to Melbourne, Sydney, and regional TAS regularly. Travel is billed at cost. If you have a project in mind, reach out and we'll work it out.
What should I wear?
You'll get a full styling guide after our brief call. The short version: dress like yourself on a day you feel good. Avoid heavy patterns and very bright colours unless that's your brand.
How many final images do I get?
Half Day: 30 selects. Full Day: 60 selects. These are fully retouched, high-res images ready for web and print. You choose them from a full proof gallery.
I'm not photogenic. Can you still make this work?
Everyone says this before their first shoot with me. The people who say it most confidently are usually the easiest to photograph. The images prove it every time.
