Photography


Photography is a natural extension of my design practice.


I photograph brands, interiors, artworks and events with a calm, considered approach. My work prioritises composition, light and authenticity — creating imagery that feels aligned with the wider brand narrative.

What I Do

Brand Photography

Imagery that supports your visual identity.

  • Portraits

  • Team imagery

  • Products in context

  • Studio and workplace documentation

  • Website and campaign imagery

My design background allows me to shoot with layout, cropping and digital application in mind.

Bright living room with large windows, colorful striped accent wall, orange sofa with pillows, wooden dining table with a bouquet of flowers, and sliding glass doors leading to outdoor patio.

Spatial Photography

Documenting thoughtfully designed spaces.

  • Hospitality

  • Retail

  • Galleries

  • Studios

  • Architectural interiors

I focus on atmosphere, materiality and the experience of being within the space.

Art & Installation Documentation

Working alongside artists and exhibitions, I photograph:

  • Artworks

  • Installations

  • Exhibition environments

  • Creative processes

The aim is respectful, accurate and visually compelling documentation.

Events

Quietly observed, naturally captured.

  • Creative events

  • Exhibitions

  • Launches

  • Community gatherings

The emphasis is on genuine interaction and atmosphere rather than staged imagery.

How I Work

I work collaboratively and strategically, ensuring design decisions are grounded in purpose. I value clarity, calm visual language, and systems that endure.

Kind words

Two women standing behind a table with various printed materials, smiling at the camera in a well-lit room with framed artwork on the walls.

"We have worked with Catherine from Wonderbird on 2 occasions now for a new product photo shoot and a subsequent lifestyle shoot with the product and clients. Both times have been an absolute delight. Not only does Catherine bring a beautiful warmth, but her attention to detail, direction in the shoot, preparation and quick turn around make it so easy to work with her. Her ability to capture our product the way we want it seen was spot on. Would highly recommend Catherine and her incredible work. 10/10. Lorissa, Co-Founder, Workplace Rituals Deck."

"Catherine has an incredible eye. She sees the simple beauty in people and nature, and captures that vividly with her camera. We loved her clean elegant design work and appreciated her attention to detail and professional approach to communication. Working with Wonderbird was a joy, Catherine's work is truly beautiful. We can't imagine working with anyone else!"

"Catherine brings a very special quality to her photography. The words ‘exquisite’ and ‘beautiful’ are most apt to describe a style that embodies a special calibre of light and clarity. She brings an energy to each project and commission that is creative, joyful, mindful and respectful. It has been such a pleasure to collaborate with Catherine on projects and to be one of her clients too!”
