MELBOURNE based LIFESTYLE AND FAMILY DOCUMENTARY Photography, by NICOLE BARTLEET
I’m a Melbourne photographer specialising in women’s lifestyle photography. Whether it’s documentary style family shoots (maternity, birth, at home newborn and family shoots), or lifestyle shoots showcasing your personal brand(your other baby!), each shoot has a documentary aesthetic ensuring authentic, natural photography as it unfolds. My background in social documentary, fine art and portrait photography informs my minimalist, emotive, narrative style.
MATERNITY
You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.
– Joan Miro

“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.

I love to photograph people in their own environment. It offers clues to what's important in their lives

ADOLESCENTS
If the moon smiled, she would resemble you.
You leave the same impression
Of something beautiful, but annihilating.
