Photography
Staff, documentary, event and performance photography for hospitals, community organisations, arts venues and brands. Made by a majority Aboriginal-owned team on the Central Coast of NSW.
Registered with Supply Nation. Scott Lahiff leads our photography, from portraits and architecture to dance and theatre, and edits every set we deliver.
What we make
Staff and clinical photography
Documentary photography
Event and festival photography
Performance photography
Headshots and team portraits
Documentary series and exhibitions
Portraits and candid frames made where people work. Gosford Private Hospital and Wyong Hospital use ours for recruitment, marketing and internal communications.
Real moments, unposed. At the Mission to Seafarers in Port Hedland we photographed the crews, chaplains and volunteers who keep the centre going.
Crowds, stages and the details in between. Yours and Owls used our images across its own channels, its promotion and its media outreach.
Theatre, dance and live music, shot quietly from the edges of the room. PAIA by Ngaiire at Carriageworks. A Chorus Line at Laycock Street.
Consistent headshots for a whole team, often on the same visit as a film shoot. We refreshed the Wirraka Maya team’s headshots in Port Hedland.
Between commissions we make our own series, from Jigalong to the Shaede Project, and some of it has been exhibited. See our own work.
Featured photography
Carriageworks Farmers Market Winter Seasonal
Carriageworks asked for real people having real fun. We photographed a full Saturday morning of market life for about 6,000 people, a cooking demonstration step by step, and the growers and makers behind the stalls.
Selects were with the Carriageworks team within two days, in portrait and landscape for web and social.
How a shoot comes together
1. Brief
2. Shot list and consent
3. Shoot
4. Edit and deliver
We start with what the images are for and where they will live. You get a written quote covering scope, timeline, deliverables and usage rights.
We agree the must-get shots with you. Who can be photographed, and how the images will be used, is settled before the shoot.
Scott or Luke on the day, working quietly and moving with the room, whether that is a hospital ward, a festival crowd or a remote community.
Every frame we deliver is edited and colour graded. For events, selects can come first for social, with the full gallery to follow. We keep every file.

Questions we get asked
Do you travel?
Yes. We are based on the Central Coast, work across Sydney and regional NSW, and have photographed in Port Hedland, Roebourne and Jigalong in the Pilbara. Travel is set out in the quote.
How do you handle consent?
Who appears and how images are used is agreed before we start. In community settings we follow cultural protocols and the wishes of the people we photograph. Read how we approach it.
How quickly do we get the photos?
It depends on the job, and the timing is in the quote. For events we can send selects first, so you can post while the moment is still fresh.
Can you film on the same shoot?
Yes. Luke leads our film work, and many of our jobs come back with both from one visit. See our video production.
Have a shoot coming up?
