Christie Moore

City:

Sydney, New South Wales

Loves working with:

I love working with industry leading creatives and coaches. My magic making clients are anything but cookie cutter and aren't looking to emulate others in their industry. They love to show up and stand out in a way that connects with their ideal clients/customers and feels like them. My wonderful clients don't just want pretty pictures. They want brand building imagery that positions them as the go-to in their industry. They value investing in specialist expertise to stay in their genius zone.

Photoshoot locations:

No two branding sessions are ever the same and the location(s) is tailored to each client's brand and goals. I shoot on-location in hired styled home/creative spaces, in studios, my clients home/office or even outdoors..

Photography style / aesthetic:

Bespoke personal brand photography that not only looks good but connects with your ideal audience and converts. My signature style focuses on visual storytelling and capturing the unique essence of my clients brand.

Languages spoken:

English

Vibe check:

I'm laid back yet strategic and make sure my clients feel comfortable, at ease and supported. My bespoke sessions are more than a photo shoot. They are a high-touch, end-to-end experience that feels seamless and FUN for my clients.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

I'm a Sydneysider that has also called Paris and Berlin home.

Karen Sadek

City: Sydney, New South Wales

Loves working with:

I love working with women entrepreneurs, founders, and creatives who are building a personal brand and want to own their presence online. Think: bold thinkers, big dreamers, women who are leaders in their space and aren’t afraid to show up. They're time-poor, smart as hell, value their personal brand, and want visuals that feel powerful and strategic.

Photoshoot locations:

I'm based in Sydney and usually shoot in natural light studios, stylish Airbnbs, modern co-working spaces, and city locations that feel polished but still real. I also do on-location shoots at client offices, cafes with character, rooftop terraces, boutique hotels, lifestyle spaces. Always scouting spots that feel authentic and aspirational without feeling staged.

Photography style / aesthetic:

My style blends clean, natural imagery with a sharp, editorial feel.
It’s real, it’s confident, and it’s designed to showcase people at their best — without over-editing or over-posing.
The energy is polished but never stiff, with a focus on connection, clarity, and strong visual storytelling.

Languages spoken:

English and Spanish

Vibe check:

I’m my clients hype girl meets creative director — calm, clear, and ready to bring out your best without it feeling awkward.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

I have this weird life skill where I can remember tiny random details about people… but forget where I left my sunglasses.

Tammy TingTing

City:

Sydney, New South Wales

Loves working with:

My clients sit at two ends of the same spectrum.

One end: they know exactly what they want. They've thought about their brand, they have a point of view, and they're ready to build something intentional. They're not looking for a photographer to make decisions for them. They want a collaborator who can take what's in their head and make it work visually.

The other end: they have no idea where to start. They know their business, they know their audience, they know they need stronger imagery but the creative side feels completely foreign. They show up ready to be led, and they trust the process.

What they share is more important than what separates them. They understand this is an investment, not an expense. They respect the expertise they're paying for. They don't micromanage the creative. And they're not shopping for the cheapest option. What they do varies. Founders, coaches, consultants, authors, speakers. Some are product-based, some are service-based. What they have in common is that their personal brand matters to their business, and they've reached a point where their current photos aren't keeping up.

Photoshoot locations:

Wherever the brief takes us. Sydney-wide, and I'll build a set if that's what the brand requires. Some sessions happen in a hired creative space, a studio, or the client's own environment. The location is never a default. It's a decision.

Photography style / aesthetic:

Honestly? I don't have one. And I mean that as a good thing. As a personal branding photographer, my job is to visualise my client's brand not express mine. The moment I start shooting everything in the same style, I'm making your brand look like my portfolio. That's not the point. Before every shoot I do a brand audit and build a creative concept from the brief. Then I figure out how to bring it to life. An author with manuscript pages flying through the frame. A mental health coach with a screen full of expressions in front of him. The concept always comes from the client, the brand, and what it needs to say. Not every client calls for that level of concept. Some brands are cleaner and more straightforward, and that's exactly right for them. What stays consistent across all of it is the standard. I love working with strobe to complement the available light so that everything is sharp and in focus.

Languages spoken:

English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay

Vibe check:

I show up looking like the coolest photographer you've ever hired and leave looking like I've been through a war, because somewhere between the first frame and the last I was on the floor, up on a ladder, and in three positions that have no name.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

Australia is my fifth country. I get restless easily. At one point I decided to open a whole food café in a city I'd never lived in, purely on impulse.
