corporate portrait photography

Most of our clients want high quality head and shoulders portraits to use for their websites, annual reports etc. The majority of corporate portraits are done on location and we take around 30 to 50 shots at varying angles, different focal lengths and backdrops. 

The Focus 10 portrait service is cost effective. Your staff and high paid executives only have to dedicate 10 to 15 minutes of their precious time. We save you time and money by shooting on location. On average we take six portraits per hour which works out to be just $50 per person! You get high quality images, a selection to choose from, they are colour balanced and Photoshop adjusted and if you are not 100% satisfied, we re-shoot at no charge.  You also keep all of the high quality jpeg/RAW files and have copyright over the images.

corporate product photography

We shoot everything from food photography to cars, white goods to fashion accessories. Digital cameras offer a huge cost saving for product shots and the quality is superb. Correct lighting is the crucial aspect of a great photo. Product photography done well is difficult.

Attention to lighting along with using the right lens to avoid curvature is essential to make a product look right. It's no secret that great product photography increases sales and lends professionalism and credibility to products and the people selling them. It's worth getting in experts who can shoot your product with the appropriate lighting, props and backdrops to show your product(s) in the best possible light. We provide 100% re-shoot guarantee, and provide you with all files over which you have copyright.

architecture / real estate photography

Focus 10 shoots for Hassell architecture, Property Council of Australia, Richardson and Wrench and other Real Estate companies, for rental property companies throughout Australia and Europe and also teaches Architecture/ Real Estate photography courses.

We understand distortion, linear perspective, how to shoot interiors and exteriors, eliminate clutter, prepare the property, use slave flashes and external light sources, and how to balance ambient light and flash.  Shooting architecture and real estate is a challenge as most properties will appear unattractive in harsh light and usually have unsightly bushes or power lines in front - this is where our ‘on site’ and post production skills can make any property or building look fantastic.

digital studio photography course

This intensive  digital studio photography course covers both portraiture and still life photography giving you the skills and confidence to create stunning, controlled photographs. With access to a wide range of lighting and accessories you will have the chance to experiment with new equipment, develop your understanding of lighting techniques and appreciate how the choice of lighting affects the final image.

conference photography

Conference photography requires organizational skills to shoot the keynote speakers, the awards presentations and to get the critical images as well as to encapsulate the flavour of the conference. In the last 16 years Focus 10 has been the official photographer for large conferences such as an ING conference in Madrid, for the software giant Oracle , Young Entrepreneurs Association (YEO), EMC on Hayman Island and various Holiday and Travel shows around Australia. We specialize in multi- tasking and can do video, stills, PowerPoint productions, on the spot DVD’s, souvenir photographs for delegates, etc.  Focus 10 can also provide photographic walking tours and workshops for delegates and their spouses. Focus 10 has very competitive pricing packages and services to create added value to your next conference or convention.

event & trade show photography

Event, function and trade show photography  are natural extensions to shooting weddings...where you have to understand the nuances of the occasion and to meet the brief of the client. 

We have photographed hundreds of functions over the years:  a function for Castrol in Parramatta, a party for Patterson Britton Partners at MCA, a day at the races for Tyco, a 30th birthday party in London, a Sydney to Hobart function at the CYC , the moon festival in Cabramatta.  Events and functions move quickly in a short time frame, so it's about capturing keynote speakers with an eye on logos, branding, sponsorship boards etc. with a photojournalists eye as to what will make a strong, appropriate image for the varying needs of many different parties.

fashion & advertising photography

This is the fastest growing sector of the Focus 10 business as we have dedicated courses in this field and have extensive networks with fashion/ design houses and the advertising industry.  Fashion photography must be styled to best show the cut, fit and design of the clothing.

The choice and direction of the models is very important and we are skilled in creating an image that today's youths, women and men want to emulate. We are in the business of delivering to our clients the images that will inspire and spur the consumer to buy the fashions involved. Focus 10 has considerable depth in ‘on location’ photography. All our professional photographers travel extensively and are up on the latest International trends in photography.
