storytelling

Life lived with intention, because every brand begins with a story.

It all starts by building identities – shaping ideas into visuals, crafting narratives and learning what makes a business feel human from the inside out. We've spent years working across creative industries; which taught us clarity, connection and how to read the heart of a brand long before the camera switches on. That experience is what shaped this offering: a way to honour the makers, the founders, the creatives and the businesses bringing something meaningful into the world.

From the spark of an idea to the details that define you, we chase the real stuff – the tone, the truth, the story that sits beneath the surface. This is where intention meets identity, and where branding becomes art.

What we SPECIALISE in

We specialise in identity captured through thoughtful visuals, intentional direction and a full suite of photo and video tools. Every brand has layers, so we explore them all: clean product frames, lifestyle storytelling, editorial portraits, behind-the-scenes moments and cinematic video built for reels, websites, campaigns or complete brand narratives.

Our media is built for clarity and connection – brand photography, cinematic video, product visuals, founder portraits, social content suites and full storytelling packages for businesses and creatives.

Small businesses, personal brands, creatives, founders, products, services, campaigns… if it has a story, we’re here to uncover it. From launch-ready campaigns to updated brand libraries, personal branding sessions to evergreen content, we bring identity and storytelling together in a way that feels true, intentional and alive.

Bring Your Vision to Life

the questions

  • We’re based in Newcastle, NSW — but we shoot wherever your brand lives.

    Offices, studios, homes, cafés, co-working spaces, retail stores, creative hubs, outdoors, or a location we source specifically for your project.

    We can also travel interstate or internationally for campaigns and content days.

  • Absolutely. Once we understand your brand identity, we’ll help shape the visual direction – location, lighting, styling, wardrobe, colour palette and overall mood. We can keep it natural and documentary-style, or build out a full creative concept together.

  • All kinds. We work with small businesses, creatives, founders, personal brands, wellness providers, product-based businesses, service-based brands and companies launching new offerings. If you have a story, we can translate it visually.

  • Yes – every project is customised. You can choose lifestyle imagery, product photography, behind-the-scenes content, headshots, editorial portraits, environmental branding, reels, or a full combined package. We tailor everything to your goals.

  • Turnaround times vary depending on the scope of your project, but most brand shoots are delivered within 2–6 weeks. Larger campaigns or multi-day shoots may take a little longer. If you’re working to a launch deadline, event date or campaign schedule, just let us know — we’re happy to prioritise your timeline.

  • Definitely.

    We’ll go through everything to understand your brand tone, audience, platforms and goals. We’ll send you a pre-shoot checklist to help settle those nerves, too.

    In the planning stage, we will assist with wardrobe, props, shot lists, creative ideas and anything else you need to make the day run smoothly.

  • Of course. Most people feel that way. We guide poses, movement and shots in a way that feels natural, relaxed and on-brand. You don’t need to “perform” – we’ll help you feel comfortable so the images look genuine and confident.

  • We shoot with professional photo and video equipment, including multiple camera bodies, high-end lenses, lighting setups, audio for video, and drone capabilities when relevant. This gives us a full range of brand-ready content – from crisp portraits to cinematic clips.

  • Yes. Every delivered project includes personal and business-use rights for web, socials and marketing. If you need extended commercial licensing (e.g., billboards, packaging, paid campaigns), we can arrange that too.

  • Absolutely. We work across commercial campaigns, seasonal content, product releases, social media libraries, lookbooks and multi-day shoots. Custom quotes are available for larger or ongoing projects.

    Peri captured my pregnancy in a way I didn’t know was possible. She is incredibly artistic and shot with such care, and creativity. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident, and the final images are absolutely stunning. A true professional with an incredible eye – I couldn’t recommend her more.”

  • Kellie Mitchell

    “I’ve worked with Peri on multiple projects now, and she is always a dream to collaborate with. She listens deeply, understands your vision, and then exceeds it every time when delivering. Peri’s eye and artistic style is truely unique, there’s depth and intention to everything she creates. The love and effort she pours into her work reflects in the final result. I couldn’t recommend working with her more.”

  • Hunter Clinical Hypnotherapy

    “Peri is a pleasure to work with. She expanded upon the ideas I presented  and clearly explained the shooting  process, which then went brilliantly. I can highly recommend her for her creativity and professionalism.”

  • Brielle Kalliafas

    “Peri was amazing to work with on our wedding day, she made everything feel so natural and effortless. We felt completely comfortable, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and warm photographer!”

  • Soul & Stone Jewellery

    “I have just started my own jewellery business and I commissioned Peri to take professional shots of my pieces at my local beach, she was very professional and has such a natural flair, she listened to what I wanted and also made some suggestions to add her creative flair and an individual touch to the look of the final shots. Her model was also very accommodating. The end result was fabulous, especially the main feature, my gemstone lariat. I also used Peri to take shots of my new Emerald collection and Meditation Bracelets at the iconic location, Seal Rocks on the East Coast. This time Peri used her natural artistic flair without any direction from me and once again the results were outstanding,  she truly is very talented. I highly recommend her.”

  • Banksii

    “Peri / This is Art was such a dream to work with! She was amazing at transferring my vision for my brand into pictures and I can’t wait to work with her again. Her creative and professional vision enhanced my branding and it engaged more customers, seeing a spike in sales. Seriously talented at what she does, I highly recommend hiring This is Art!!”

  • Brodie & Johnny

    Thank you so much, Peri, for capturing the beginning of our parenthood journey. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of our photos. Every image is something we’ll treasure forever. You made us all feel so comfortable behind the lens, and the whole experience was genuinely enjoyable.

    We would highly recommend This Is Art for newborn photography and family shoots.
