Based in beautiful Cairns, Queensland Australia - I have been a professional photographer in Cairns for over 20 years, building a diverse career that began as a photojournalist at The Cairns Post newspaper—back in the days before digital cameras were commonplace! This early experience instilled in me a passion for variety, adaptability, and storytelling through imagery.
I specialise in capturing genuine action, emotion, energy, and enjoyment, delivering editorial-style photography that truly tells a story. Photographing people is at the heart of what I do—I'm naturally a people person, and I believe that warmth and connection shine through in my images.
I pride myself on being approachable, flexible, patient, and meticulous, always ensuring attention to detail. In recent years, my focus has primarily been on commercial and event photography within Cairns and beyond—I love to travel wherever your project may take me!
A little bit about Romy Photography
My Story
“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes,
even when the people in it do"
Andy Warhol
My role here at Romy Photography is to make you and your business look their absolute best. It helps that I genuinely love what I do, and I’m dedicated to creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in front of the camera. I understand that not everyone naturally enjoys being photographed, but I’m committed to ensuring your experience is positive and enjoyable. My goal is to deliver images you’ll proudly display on your website, social media, in magazines, or even on billboards—images that powerfully promote your business or vividly capture the essence of the event you’ve worked so hard to organise. I’m flexible, dedicated, and fully committed to delivering the perfect shot every time.
Vibrant images captured with creativity, warmth, and genuine connection.
