About Christopher

Portrait, Lifestyle & Branding Photographer

Black & White Studio Portrait Photo of Christopher Perkins, Australian Lifestyle and Travel Photographer holding a camera, smiling and looking off camera

I grew up in the UK, studied Editorial & Advertising Photography at the University for the Creative Arts, and was fortunate to travel extensively before landing in Australia in 2009.

I came for the adventure and stayed for love, the light — and the lifestyle, if I'm honest. These days I'm based on the NSW Central Coast with my family, and it's hard to imagine a better place to be. Its the beach life that all us Poms dream of!

I've been shooting professionally for over fifteen years, working with small local businesses, national brands, editorial clients and individuals who just want photographs that feel like them.

My Approach

The work I love centres around real, honest moments — moments that capture a fleeting unguarded expression or a composition that provides subtle meaning and becomes a little more thought-provoking.

I think carefully about light, composition and what a photograph needs to communicate. I want my subjects to relax in front of my lens but also to give me something of themselves.

My clients are often surprised by how comfortable the shoot felt, whether they’ve known me for a while or we’ve just met. That's not an accident — it's how I want to be remembered and how I ensure results.

What I do…

Whether it's a personal branding session or an editorial brief, the goal is always the same: a photograph that brings out the real you.

Portrait Photography

Natural and genuine imagery for businesses who want to connect with their audience. From boutique independents to household names like Qantas, ANZ, Westfield.

Branding & Lifestyle Photography

Storytelling imagery for brands, publications and creative projects. I shoot on location and love finding the authentic detail that makes a story worth reading.

Editorial & Fashion Photography

Travel Documentary Photography

I'm a natural wanderer and my favourite memories are from exploring new destinations. I aim to find little pockets that might otherwise go unnoticed but in reality say the most about a place.

Let’s Collaborate

What I offer is experience across a genuinely broad range of subjects and environments, a calm and easy presence on set, and a genuine interest in the stories behind the businesses and people I photograph.

I'm not trying to be the right fit for everyone. But if you're looking for imagery that feels considered, authentic and a lot like you, you’re in the right place.
