One photographer, the whole brief.
Most businesses do not need five photographers. They need one who can shoot the team on Monday, the product on Tuesday, and the room it all happens in on Wednesday, and hand back a set that looks like it came from the same place.
That is what this page covers. Commercial work for businesses that sell on how they look, event coverage that keeps earning after the room empties, product frames built for listings and wholesale decks, and headshots that hold one standard across a whole team. Same photographer, same grade, one invoice.
I work across Melbourne and out through the eastern suburbs, the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley. Briefs usually start with a short conversation about what the images have to do, rather than how many of them you want. The shot list follows from that.
What each type actually looks like.
Sixty-two frames across people, events and sport, landscape and aerial, and product. One frame is not a category, so here is more than one of each.
Five ways the camera earns its keep.
Founder & Team Portraits
Portraits that look like the person rather than the pose. Shot for founders, teams and anyone who fronts the business, then graded to sit consistently across a website, a profile photo, a media kit and a conference program.
Headshot suites for service teams
Press and speaker library imagery
Environmental & Lifestyle
People in their actual working world. Workshops, studios, sites, kitchens, offices. The shots that prove what you do, not just say it. Strong on motion, light, and real moments.
Working shots on location
Client and customer interaction
Lifestyle libraries for socials and web
Professional Services
Branding suites for advisors, consultants, agents, and operators who sell expertise. Portraits, environments, and detail shots designed to work across web, ads, listings, and referrals, without looking like everyone else in your industry.
Full brand suite (people, place, detail)
Real estate and advisor branding
Consultant and clinic libraries
Product & Detail
Hero product frames and the small detail shots that make a campaign feel considered. Texture, packaging, tools of trade, finishes. Built for online stores, print, and brand systems.

Events & Spaces
Launches, activations, and the interiors brands trade in. Coverage that captures crowd, energy, and detail in one pass, and gives you a library you can use long after the event packs down.

Melbourne, and the country east of it.
Based in Belgrave, so the hills and the valley are a local job rather than a travel fee. City work is a straight run down the highway. If you are further out than these three, ask anyway, most of Victoria is a day trip.
Dandenong Ranges
Belgrave, Olinda, Sassafras and the townships through the hills, shot by someone who lives in them.
Yarra Valley
Cellar doors, venues and produce, for brands that trade on where they are from.
Eastern suburbs
Box Hill through to Ringwood, offices, clinics and fitouts, usually inside a morning.
The things people ask first.
What does a photography shoot cost?
Shoots are quoted as a fixed fee against the brief rather than off a rate card, because the number of setups drives the day far more than the number of hours.
Quarter day, half day and full day rates all exist and are set out in the packages guide. Tell me what the images have to do and where they will live, and the quote comes back with the scope written beside it.
How many photos do we actually get?
A half day typically delivers 40 to 80 finished frames, a full day 100 to 200, depending on how many setups the brief carries.
The number matters less than the spread. Twenty images covering people, product, space and detail is worth more to a website than two hundred variations of the same handshake.
Do you shoot on location or in a studio?
On location, almost always. Your premises are what make the images yours rather than something anyone could have bought.
I bring a portable setup that handles clean product and headshot work on site. Where a brief genuinely needs a studio I book one and roll the hire into the invoice.
How long until we see the photos?
A preview gallery of selects inside about three business days, so there is something to work with straight away.
The full graded set lands in ten to fifteen business days depending on volume. If a deadline sits inside that, say so at booking and the schedule is built backwards from it.
Is retouching included?
Yes. Every delivered frame is graded, and portraits get the standard pass: skin evened out, stray hair, blemishes, a distracting sign in the background.
Heavier work like compositing, removing a whole structure or reshaping a product is quoted separately, because it is a different job to finishing a photograph.
Can we use the images for paid advertising?
Yes. Commercial licensing for your own marketing is included, covering your website, socials, print, decks and paid media, in perpetuity.
The exception is hired talent. If a shoot uses models rather than your own staff, their usage terms are separate and get quoted as their own line.
What areas do you cover?
All of Melbourne. I am based in Belgrave, which puts the eastern suburbs, the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley closest, and I work the metro area, Mernda, the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong as standard.
Regional Victoria and interstate are quoted with travel shown as its own line.
How do I book?
Send through what the shoot is for and roughly when. We do a short call to pin the scope down, then the proposal, contract and payment schedule all come through one client portal.
Dates hold on a signed proposal and a deposit. Popular dates around end of financial year and the pre-Christmas run go early.
“Jordy is way more than a nice camera. His eye for detail, his engagement with clients to understand their goals, and his respect for the process from start to finish are all impeccable.”
Have a shoot in mind?
Tell me about the brand, the audience, and the deliverables. I will come back with a treatment and a quote.
