camera Canon EOS R6, Canon EOS R5

With over 15 years in the industry, you could say I have some experience! I first started as an assistant for a few top photographers in Melbourne; soon after which I started shooting on a more regular basis. My philosophy on photography is to help everyone enjoy the experience. This is achieved by approaching the day in a natural, relaxed way - capturing the story as it unfolds. From the purely natural photo-journalistic moments, the details, and to any formal photographs with family. I have backup cameras and lens to ensure your moments are captured in all the angles. These include, Canon R6s, RF 15-35 2.8, RF 28-70 2.0, EF 50 1.2, RF 70-200 2.8, RF Macro 100 2.8, EF 120-300 2.8. Hopefully we can arrange a time to meet to show you what I do.

camera Fujifilm X-H1, Fujifilm X-H2S

My name is Thomas and I fell into photography when I was a kid. Since, my love for this art has never stopped growing. At 6, I became a model and played in several commercials in France. I really enjoyed it until I reached the age of 16 and decided to move to the other side of the lens. I bought my first camera and started shooting my family, friends, nature and architecture in my city. Becoming an adult, I founded an advertising agency in Paris but I always had my passion at heart so one day I decided to leave my Parisian life and live from my passion. My website is called “Filmerez” because it means “camera” in Breton where I am originally from.

How did you get started with photography

Photography has always been my passion. I bought my my first camera in 2003, it was an old Nikon film camera. Three years after I finally could afford a digital Canon 20D with a 50 mm lence. I decide to become a professional photographer straight after I graduated from the journalism faculty of Moscow State University. Yes, I enjoyed being journalist but at the same time I started understanding that writing is not my thing. I'm a visual person. I decided to become a professional and get a new diploma. I graduated from the photography faculty of British Higher School of Art and Design in Moscow. 
Photography continues to engage my mind. I am grateful to the people, who have crossed my path and helped me to become who I am.

What do you love about your job?

I love to work with people, create their personal histories and memories. In my opinion my fun approach frees every person to be themselves in front of my camera, revealing their true personalities and emotions. I connect my love of photography with a journalistic sense and artistic flair. I always try to reveal inner beauty of people and the joy of life and show all of this in one given moment. So I like being a family photographer. At the same time I love to work for creative businesses, publishers and photographic agencies. I like the collaborative process. I work in commercial and editorial photography with an emphasis on portraiture. There’s great satisfaction in seeing shots that were made possible by a team of passionate people: make up artists, stylists, producers and clients.

What are some of your favorite places in Melbourne to take photographs?

I like to take portraits in central of the city. There are many beautiful old buildings mixed in with new architecture and the small narrow streets are quite lovely. Also my favorite place for the fashion and family photo shoots is Sorrento beach. I can remember getting there really early on a morning, when the weather was little bit foggy. The clouds stayed for quite some time, creating a special mood.
