Lifestyle & Advertising Photography Sydney
Lifestyle photography is about creating commercial images that feel believable.
That might involve professional talent using a product or service, photographing real employees in their workplace, creating environmental portraits or documenting genuine interactions between people.
Jordan’s approach combines the spontaneity of editorial photography with the planning and technical control required for commercial work.
Having spent years working across editorial, commercial and production environments, he is comfortable adapting to different locations, changing conditions and people with varying levels of experience in front of the camera.
The objective is to create polished photography without making every photograph feel staged.
Corporate Photography Sydney
For businesses, a strong collection of original photography can provide content for websites, annual reports, recruitment, internal communications, PR and social media.
Corporate photography can include executive and staff portraits, people working, office environments, meetings, customer interactions and photographs that communicate the culture of an organisation.
Rather than producing generic corporate imagery, Jordan works to create photographs that are specific to the people, environment and character of the business being photographed.
Editorial & PR Photography Sydney
Jordan’s background in press and editorial photography has a strong influence on the way he approaches commercial work.
He spent ten years freelancing for News Corp and has worked with newspapers, magazines, PR agencies and communications teams throughout his career.
That experience is particularly useful for PR assignments where photographs need to be produced quickly, tell a clear story and meet the requirements of publications and media outlets.
Jordan has photographed five Australian Prime Ministers, HRH Queen Elizabeth II, musicians, artists, executives and people from an enormous variety of professions and backgrounds.
His photographs have appeared in Australian and international publications including The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times, The West Australian, Triple J Magazine, The Wire and DRUM! Magazine USA.
Photography on Location in Sydney
Having lived in Sydney for around a decade, Jordan is familiar with working throughout the city and its varied environments.
Commercial shoots can take place at your office, workplace, restaurant, venue or another location selected specifically for the project.
Depending on the production, Jordan can work independently, alongside your existing creative team, or with additional crew and equipment where required.
For larger commercial productions, additional specialists such as assistants, lighting technicians, producers, hair and makeup artists and other crew can be brought onto the project as required.
Commercial Photography Across Sydney & NSW
Jordan is available for commercial photography assignments throughout Sydney and New South Wales, as well as projects requiring photography across multiple Australian locations.
For national campaigns and organisations operating across several states, Jordan can provide consistent photography across different locations while maintaining the same visual approach throughout the project.
Travel and production requirements can be incorporated into the project quote where required.
