Print Shop & Fine Art Photography
What paper do you use for your fine art prints?
All of my prints are made on archival cotton rag paper, a paper I love working with because it truly complements my style of photography. The colours pop, the textures are rich and soft, and the detail is beautifully preserved. It’s a matte, museum-quality paper designed for fine art photography and made to last for hundreds of years when cared for properly. Every print is crafted to feel timeless, something you’ll treasure for decades to come.
Where are your prints made?
I work with trusted fine art printers in Sydney, UK, US, and Mexico. Each print is crafted with care and attention to detail.
Do you offer framing?
Yes! I offer framing using high-quality Australian Timber Oak, along with other timber options like mahogany, white or black stain. Choose with or without a mat board to style your art with or without a floating border. I can help you select the best frame, or you’re welcome to specify your preference. Framed prints arrive ready to hang with archival materials and UV-protective glass.
Please note: At this time, framed orders can only be shipped within Australia due to the fragile nature and cost of shipping internationally. For international customers, I recommend ordering your print unframed and working with a local framer in your area.
Can I customize size or crop for my space?
Absolutely! If you’d like a custom size, format, or crop just let me know the wall or space you’re styling and I’ll help tailor the image to fit. This includes multi-panel installations and bespoke print dimensions.
Can I request a commissioned print?
Yes. If there’s a special place, surf break, or coastal moment you’d love captured, I offer custom commissions. Just get in touch with your idea and we can chat further.
Do you offer a trade program for interior designers or hotels?
Yes. I offer a trade program for stylists, interior designers, and boutique hotels that includes exclusive pricing, design consultations, and discounts on bulk print orders.
Can I purchase multiple prints for a project?
Definitely. If you’re sourcing art for a larger space or project and would like to purchase multiple prints, I offer discounts for bundled orders. Just reach out and I can help you put together the perfect collection.
Can I license your images for commercial or editorial use?
Yes! I offer image licensing to brands, publications, or tourism clients looking to use my photography commercially. Please reach out with details about intended use and duration for a licensing quote.
How should I care for my fine art print?
Keep it out of direct sunlight, and handle it gently. We recommend framing behind UV-protective glass for longevity.
Do you sell digital files so I can print locally?
No, only physical prints and framed artwork are sold. This helps protect the integrity and quality control of the images, and maintains artwork value and authenticity.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! I offer free worldwide shipping via trusted labs in Australia, Mexico, and the U.S. This ensures safe delivery and reduced transit times. Please note, customers are responsible for any import duties, VAT, or customs charges. You'll be provided a tracking number once your order is packed and sent.
Brand Services & Content Sessions
What kind of photography services do you offer for brands?
I offer full-service brand photography and content creation for surf, lifestyle, fashion, lifestyle products and swimwear brands. Whether you’re launching a new collection or need refreshing new content, I create authentic, story-driven imagery that brings your brand to life, capturing everything from dreamy lifestyle moments to detailed product shots.
Do you offer creative direction and production support?
Yes! I provide end-to-end support across creative direction, pre-production, shoot logistics, and post-production but I’m always behind the camera as your photographer. With over eight years of industry experience, I can help shape your campaign from concept to final imagery. I can source talent, scout locations, and bring together a trusted team like producers, models, videographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, and assistants.
What are your rates?
My rates vary depending on the scope of the project. I like to gather as much information as possible about your campaign, deliverables, timeline, and usage needs so I can provide a quote that’s tailored specifically to your shoot. To get started, just send me an email or fill out the contact form on my website with a few details, and I’ll take it from there.
What kind of experience do you have with larger productions?
Before launching Salty See, I worked in broadcast television as a motion graphic designer and worked across live-action shoots in various production roles, from art director to assistant. I bring that same level of professionalism and adaptability to photography, whether I’m shooting solo or working with a larger team.
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes! I’m based in Cabarita Beach, NSW and regularly shoot across Byron Bay, the Gold Coast, and wider Australia. I also travel internationally, my work has taken me to Mexico, Hawaii, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. I love working with brands in unique, location-driven environments.
Can you tailor the shoot to fit our campaign goals?
Of course. Every brand is different, and I love shaping each shoot to reflect your campaign goals whether that’s for a seasonal launch, eCommerce update, or storytelling content for socials. I work closely with you from planning through delivery to ensure the final images are purposeful and aligned with your vision.
