About
Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Randy has been working as a freelance commercial photographer since 1994. A natural curiosity and genuine interest in a wide range of topics has led to him building relationships with a very diverse group of clients both large and small. His love for and knowledge of light drives him to make ordinary places into photographs of deceptively simple beauty and despite the technical complexity of many shoots, he still manages to capture seemingly spontaneous images. An important part of his photography is exploring ideas, themes and techniques through the pursuit of personal work.

Contact Randy
My producer, Suzi, and handles the day-to-day running of the business. She will be the first point of call for most communication and usually knows more about where I am and what I’m supposed to be doing than I do.
She looks after all the nitty-gritty of handling enquiries, booking shoots, quoting on jobs, producing running sheets, licensing and stock purchases, invoicing, the sourcing of stylists, hair and make-up artists, talent, props and any “other duties as required”.
