……………………………….
My career began as a school photographer, sidelining for 2 wedding studios on the weekend. I rapidly moved into more challenging fields, working full time for McGee’s Advertising in Richmond Melb, shooting business and real estate.
In 1996 I started a wedding & portrait photography studio on the Gold Coast.
By 2004 the studio had 9 part time photographers shooting 180 weddings a year as well as portraits, family, corporate events, corporate head shots and also running photography courses.
During this time we received 4 annual awards from ABIA Australian bridal industry association voted by the brides.
I also worked part time for AICA collage in Southport for 4 years as an Industry Representative. My job here was to evaluate photography students diploma submissions. I also worked there as a part time photography teacher.
Highlight events including shooting Hugh Jackman’s wedding, political coverage of John Howard, a dozen magazine covers and overseas corporate commissions. While covering shoots for famous people, my tip to my staff was to stay cool and don’t get star struck.
I was fortunate enough to have a brilliant teacher and mentor, James Barbone who became my best friend. James taught me the definition of a great photograph is EMOTION! This advice, I have committed to in each shoot, observing personalities, capturing emotion and bringing it alive in the finished product.
I'm so happy when a person, couple or family say "You have captured our true characters perfectly in that image"
Expressions of love and family are everywhere at a wedding, birthday or anniversary. Family photo shoots have lots of love and fun and the kids show so much expression.
It's very satisfying to capture real love and emotion in a photograph that will live on in memories for ever. Just priceless!
Warm regards,
Peter Crichton
