About
Darren is a Melbourne-based photographer and filmmaker whose work captures stories of people and places across the world. Having travelled through Scandinavia, Europe, and South America, he brings a global perspective to each project — blending curiosity, empathy, and a love for natural light.
His mission is simple: to reveal the story behind each individual and use imagery to inspire imagination and emotion. Darren’s approach is rooted in authenticity — creating photographs and films that feel honest, cinematic, and deeply human.
His work has been recognised with Highly Commended awards in both Portrait Photography (Australian Photographer of the Year) and Short Film (SmartFone Flick Fest 2025). He has collaborated with a range of creative and talent agencies, helping brands and individuals bring their stories to life through compelling visual narratives.
When he’s not behind the camera, Darren can be found hiking in the mountains, enjoying a good coffee, or walking with his Labradors — always chasing light and the next story waiting to be told.

Hear what some of my amazing clients have to say
“Ever had a photoshoot feel like therapy? Seriously. Last weekend with Darren was an unexpected journey. His incredible direction, patience, and calming presence didn’t just transform a photoshoot – they actually made me feel comfortable, dare I say, even enjoyed being in front of the camera! Wild, I know! Immense gratitude to Darren for his exceptional talent in capturing authentic human spirit, and inadvertently, for helping me challenge my own perceptions. A true gift!”
“Darren is an amazing photographer! I used him to reshoot over 100 items for my fragrance business. He was so easy to deal with and has a talent for capturing something special in his shots - almost brings them life - turned it all around in less than 2 days - will use Darren ongoing for all photographer . Reshoots, redoes are no problem.”
