Portovenere, Italy - Limited Edition of 9 Photograph

“Photography is my passion, and for 30 years now I have been lucky enough to do something I love. Whether it is for my own exhibitions or family portraits, the best thing about being a photographer is that you get invited into some amazing places by amazing people. Family portraits on one day, cookbooks the next, it is the diversity of the photographic assignments that we undertake that has kept us at the top of our game for so long.” Many couples say that they could never work together, but Vicki and Philip have been doing it for over 25 years now, since they started their photography studio in Launceston, Tasmania. Their personalities and talents complement each other perfectly so that everything gets done with great attention to all the little details that matter. Samantha, their daughter is following in her father’s footsteps and has joined the business as a fully accredited professional photographer to share the workload and ensure the smooth running of this busy photographic studio. Five times Tasmanian Professional Photographer of the Year, a Fellow of both the Australian and New Zealand Institiutes of Professional Photography, Philip is Tasmania’s only Grand Master of Photography and one of just a handful in Australia, and while it is great to win awards and be recognised for the work that you do, for Philip it is still the thrill of capturing a moment in a way that resonates with people that gets him up in the morning. “When we go on holidays (and I like going on holidays!) I always have a camera, and I am always looking for images. This conflicts with my other passion which is fishing, and often I am not sure whether to grab my fishing rod or my camera. I usually end up with both, weighed down and conflicted, but happy!! ”
