HI, I’M EVAN 👋
I’m a queer, award-winning photographer based in Narrm, Melbourne, with over 20 years behind the camera 📸✨
My work is driven by a deep love for people — especially the LGBTQIA+ community — and the stories that unfold within our lives. It’s a genuine privilege to be trusted with moments that matter, and to document them in a way that feels honest, personal, and lasting.
Over the years, my practice has taken many forms — from photographing the Virgin Alternative Fashion Festival in Berlin at Berghain for Kevin Murphy, to documenting Burning Man, to shooting landscapes across Iceland on a Hasselblad — on film.
My work has also been recognised through multiple solo exhibitions and awards, including the CCP Salon (Best Fashion) and the City of Melbourne photography award, among others.
At its core, my photography is about one simple idea:
freeze the feeling 🎞️
The real stuff — connection, emotion, energy.
The laughter at a first birthday, the quiet intimacy of an engagement, the chaos and joy of a packed dance floor.
I’m not interested in stiff, overposed images. I focus on capturing moments as they happen — the in-between glances, the big laughs, the subtle details that tell a deeper story 👀✨
More than anything, this is a collaboration 🤝
I work closely with you to make sure the images feel like you — relaxed, authentic, and full of life.
Because photography isn’t just about how something looked…
it’s about how it felt 💛
— Evan
