CEO of Glamorazzi. Marketing Strategist & Mentor.
"I engaged Gary for a corporate event photography on behalf of my marketing agency's client. It was a small professional industry event at Taxi Dining, Federation Square Melbourne. I needed some professional headshots of committee members plus general event coverage. Gary showed up early, had everything set up, zero fuss, proactive in getting shots, great attention to detail and made my clients and guests felt very comfortable as he snapped away. I would engage Gary again and I highly recommend him to anyone in Melbourne looking for a stress-free, friendly and professional corporate event photographer."
”I recently had the pleasure of working with Gary for a comprehensive corporate headshot session, not only for myself, but for our entire team, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. As the representative of our company, I needed to ensure that our headshots aligned with our brand's image and that the entire team presented a cohesive and professional appearance. Gary went above and beyond, delivering sophisticated portraits that we are all happy with. From the beginning, Gary’s professionalism and dedication were evident. He took the time to understand our brief, ensuring that every detail of the shoot was tailored to reflect our company's unique brand and identity. Nothing was too challenging for Gary, he made the entire process simple, enjoyable, and effective. Gary’s meticulous attention to detail, professionalism and approachability resulted in a series of photos that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Gary for his professionalism and his ability to capture sophisticated corporate portraits that truly stand out.”
Event & Marketing Manager, Lymphoma Australia.
"Gary provided an exceptional service that captured our Lymphoma Australia, National Nurse Conference perfectly. Professional pictures and followed the brief very well. Pictures are amazing and will definitely help us promote future events. He was running around doing everything he could to make sure he captured both of our simultaneous events, capturing speakers, networking, workshops and panel discussions. We will happily use Gary's services for our next event. Thank you so much Gary!"

"A big thank you to Gary for his wonderful photography for our national symposium. Gary is the consummate professional, working non-stop throughout the day to capture fantastic images, yet doing so without any intrusion or disruption to the event. He covered speakers, workshops and panels, in a packed venue. We are very happy with Gary's photos and will be using them to promote our symposium and to enhance our website."

His work is always excellent; he's a personable and reliable professional and we will continue to use his services in future.

Business woman.
"Gary was very helpful, he calmed my nerves during the shoot as it was my first corporate headshot. He was professional. He helped me through the entire process, and I had numerous options (like maybe around 200 photos?) to choose from. The best thing is that you get to choose your photos immediately right after the shoot, and I received my final photos on the same day! You only pay for what you want, so you don’t have to worry about locked-in “package deals” that a lot of studios seem to be doing. Go with Gary!"
Actor.
"I recently enquired about getting some headshots done by Gary and from the first interaction he was super friendly and accomodating. Gary was very helpful and great with guidance and support with what to do throughout the shoot and was very professional. He took many photos and then we spent quite a bit of time together going through all the photos straight after the shoot. I had many options to choose from and once I had made my choices I received the photos I had chosen later that day. I only paid for what I wanted and received excellent Actor Headshots as well as Corporate Headshots. I had some reservations about being photographed but Gary was very kind and easy to work with, easing my nerves almost immediately".
Roy Bird. OAPSM. Retired Scientist.
"Gary has been the professional photographer I get to do all my photographic work over the years. He is always very professional, relaxed and puts people at ease. He is an expert at lighting, posturing and finding the right aesthetics. His head shots and all photos are technically perfect, his prices are very reasonable, and best of all he is a nice guy. He gets five out of five from me".
Musician/Business man.
"I highly recommend Gary. I'm a professional musician who required some promotional photos. Gary is an excellent communicator who provided some great ideas for the shots. He went above and beyond in editing to give me a fabulous set of photos. Pricing was fair and transparent. Service was great. He got the final images to me about 8 hrs after the photo shoot!"
Actor.
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Gary on my new headshots, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Gary was personable and professional, making me feel at ease right away. He offered excellent advice on outfit choices and guided me through the entire process seamlessly. His creativity was evident as he provided numerous options for the final photos, and I was able to choose my favourites immediately. The efficiency of the process was impressive, with the final edited photographs delivered very promptly. Overall, Gary made the experience enjoyable and efficient, and the quality of the headshots exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of top-notch photography."

"Gary has a great studio set up. It was warm and cozy and he makes you feel very at home which is key to feeling relaxed. He has good direction for the shots and open communication in what you are looking for, so that the expectation and aims are fulfilled for the shoot. I will be going back for more!"
Actor.
"Engaged Gary to update my actor's headshot. Gary was very professional, efficient, and gave great direction. The final image selected was sent through quickly. There was lots of options to chose from and no pressure to selected more than I needed and he made the selection process easier with his guidance".
Actor.
"Gary is super professional and helped me navigate the headshot process. We were able to narrow down the shots together and I am super happy with the final products! I received my actor headshots that night!!! Super affordable and he provides options in regards to how many final shots you would like to purchase. Fun tunes and a professional set up. I am super happy with the actor headshots he took. I would recommend Gary to any actors looking to update their portfolio!!!"
Actor.
"Gary is an absolute professional at his job. He takes the best out of people, in the most fun and comfortable way, no matter if you're the biggest introvert. I'm very happy that I could select the best shots by myself and get them edited on the same day. I love the concept of paying for the amount of pictures, so there is no need to pay hundreds if you only need one portrait".
