commissioned art

Life lived through creativity, because every story begins with a spark. We’ve always been drawn to the process of turning ideas into something tangible – shaping concepts, refining visions and creating work that feels personal, intentional and true. Years of working across creative fields taught us how to listen deeply, read between the lines and understand what someone wants long before the final image exists. That experience is what shaped this offering: a space where your ideas become art, and where collaboration leads the way. From bold concepts to subtle details, we chase the real stuff – the feeling, the vision, the story you’re trying to bring to life. This is where creativity meets intention, and where your idea becomes art.

Photography & videography services tailored to your story.

Let's talk about it

Bring Your Vision to Life

What we SPECIALISE in

We bring ideas to life – shaped through creative direction, thoughtful composition and a process built around your vision. Every concept holds its own story, so we explore them all: bold visual ideas, minimal designs, conceptual shoots, detailed textures and cinematic frames crafted for prints, publications or personal projects.

Our work is built on collaboration – custom photography, stylised concepts, artistic storytelling and full creative development designed to turn your idea into something tangible and uniquely yours.

Portraits, abstract concepts, product-led pieces, nature-inspired visuals, atmospheric scenes; if you can imagine it, we can create it. From initial spark to final artwork, we bring creativity and storytelling together in a way that feels intentional, refined and true to you.

HOW IT WORKS — FROM concept TO CREATION

  • Fill out the form below and tell us about your project – the vibe, the purpose, the story you want to tell.

    Choose your preferred date, and we’ll check if we’re free to make it happen.

  • If we haven’t crossed paths yet, this is where we change that. Before cameras, waves or golden-hour magic – we start with a chat.

    A quick call, coffee date (or a cocktail), or voice note back-and-forth… whatever feels natural.
    You can tell me what you're dreaming up, what inspires you and what this shoot really means to you.
    Ask anything – the process, the gear, my favourite surf spot… I’m an open book.

  • Based on our chat, You’ll then receive a personalised price package & scope, shaped around your project and what you need.

    Once we’ve shaped the shoot into something that feels right – we’ll lock it in.

    We’ll send through your booking info, contract and the final details.
    Once the paperwork’s signed and locked away, the date is yours – fully secured and officially part of the This Is Art story.

  • This is where the shoot starts taking shape.

    We’ll dive into locations, timing, mood, colours, outfits – the whole creative flow.
    Whether you know exactly what you want or you just know how you want it to feel, we’ll help pull the pieces together.

    We’re always just an email, text or call away leading up to the shoot. You choose how hands-on you want me to be.

    Oh, and we’re big inspiration seekers over here. We’ll collaborate on a Pinterest mood-board to ensure our ideas are aligned, and you’ll receive a personalised pre-shoot checklist to ease any nerves before the big day.

  • Here we go.

    All you need to do is show up, breathe and be present.
    We’ll guide where needed, step back when it’s natural and capture the moments in-between – the ones that feel like you.

    Whether we’re in the ocean, running through dunes, celebrating a milestone or capturing your brand – it’s all about creating art that feels real.

  • Your gallery lands in your inbox within 2-6 weeks (depending on scope, but often sooner), ready for reliving and re-loving.

    This is your story, told the way it felt.

    Your moments can be downloaded, shared and revisited via a private online gallery for 12 months, with the option to secure some extra hand-selected goodies on the platform (you’ll just have to wait and see about that one)

the questions

  • It starts with your idea – big, small, clear or still forming. We chat through your concept, refine it together, and create a plan for style, direction and execution. Once everything is aligned, we move into the creative stage and bring your vision to life.

  • Absolutely. Many clients come with a feeling or concept rather than a fully formed brief. We help refine your idea through moodboards, inspiration, styling, and creative direction until it becomes something tangible.

  • Custom portraits, abstract visual pieces, conceptual shoots, product-led artworks, nature-inspired art, print-ready pieces and bespoke creative projects for both individuals and brands. If it needs intention and artistry, we can create it.

  • Yes. Your final artwork can be purely photographic, or we can blend photography with creative editing, textural overlays, conceptual styling or graphic elements depending on your vision.

  • Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the project, but most commissions take 2–6 weeks from concept to completion. If you have a deadline, let us know – we’re happy to work around it.

  • Of course. Each commissioned piece includes a round of revisions to make sure the final artwork feels exactly right. Additional revisions can be added if needed.

  • Yes. Your artwork can be supplied as a high-resolution digital file, or professionally printed on fine art paper, canvas or framed prints. We’ll guide you through sizes and finishes.

  • We do – from commercial campaigns to athlete profiles, team shoots, content days and sports events.

    Custom project quotes are always available for larger or ongoing work.

  • If conditions are unsafe or simply not suitable, we reschedule at no extra cost. The ocean sets the pace — we work with her, not against her.

hear it from them

  • 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.”

  • Riley deck

    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!”

  • 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.
