So Why?

Why Photography
It started with adventures with my dad, exploring, noticing the little things, and wanting to keep those moments forever.

Why Brush & Shutter
I’ve always loved photography, art, and making things. Brush & Shutter lets me bring all of that together in one creative space.

Why Blue & Purple
Purple is my mum’s favourite colour, and blue used to be mine. They’re my way of keeping a little bit of home in everything I do.

Meet Blue — studio dog, unofficial supervisor, and professional distraction. Whether he’s napping through edits or popping in to brighten the day, Blue brings the good vibes (and wagging tail) wherever Brush & Shutter goes.

Ben is the ultimate behind-the-scenes MVP — husband, taxi driver, model, muscle, and resident packhorse. Whether he’s hauling gear, filming BTS content, stepping in front of the camera, or keeping shoots running smoothly, Ben is the quiet backbone of the business. Always reliable, endlessly supportive, and never without a helping hand.
