You have stumbled upon Photobat, I’m a Melbourne Photographer that has been clicking with awesome families, businesses, artists, comedians and anyone who needs a photo since 2000.
For all my life I’ve had a camera in my hand and been having photo adventures with people. In that time I’ve come to realise how important a families story is to capture, I’ve become quite obsessed with it.
I don’t believe in saying “cheese” or “smelly socks” because expression in a portrait should be real, we don’t have time to have fake laughter in our world, so that is why we keep things relaxed and fun making even the most camera nervous person have a good time and love the final artworks.
Warning … I’m kinda an UN-BORING Melbourne Photographer when it comes to Family Portraits. I LOVE getting outdoors with families, having fun, playing with the kids, telling bad fart jokes and capturing REAL GENUINE moments.
No boring poses. No bland studio shots. No phony forced smiles. And ABSOLUTELY NO cheesy awkward family photos.
Just your family, being real, having fun … with me and my camera (but not in that weird stalkery way).
Posted on Pamela Andrews We booked a shoot with Alan to capture our son’s first birthday, a very low-key family affair in a backyard, and he captured our vibe perfectly. We are so happy with the photos of our whole family and especially our tiny human. The wooden-backed artwork for the wall is divine! Thank you.Posted on Angela Carnovale Best photography experience we've had. Alan worked with our very energetic 18 month old so well and took absolutely incredible photos of our little family. Thank you, Alan for making us feel so comfortable and taking such lovely photos!Posted on Jenny Seymour We had a great photoshoot with Alan. He took some super cute pics of my kids with our their furry best friend. Alan was very professional and knowledgeable about our local area. Such a great cause the raising funds for The Kids Cancer Project. Would highly recommend a kids and dogs photo session.Posted on Grant Rounsley Alan was fantastic to work with and made it a seamless process from start to finish! He was able to capture a special snapshot in time for our family. Alan had a calm and fun nature that was a hit with our two girls and energy filled kelpie. Couldn’t recommend him more!!Posted on Megan Cassar It was a pleasure to have Alan come into our family home for our photoshoot! He immediately built rapport with our kids (including the furry one) and made the experience lots of fun and not at all awkward. He was in and out in a flash and the results were wonderful! Thanks for capturing some great moments, Alan :)Posted on Chris Demitri Alan is the BEST! We can’t recommend him highly enough. It’s always such a fun photoshoot with him with lots of laughs. The memories Alan captures is just AMAZING! We LOVE looking at all the photos Alan’s captured for us on our walls each day. We LOVE you Alan!Posted on Raizl Worcester Really loved doing our photo shoot with Alan! He made kids giggle the whole time and even managed to make my grumpy husband smile too! Alan was easy to work with and made the whole experience super seamlessly easy. Would certainly recommend. Pics all came out amazing and it was hard to chose my favourites. Would certainly recommend.Posted on Olivia Walford Thank you Alan for our amazing photos. The session was fun and relaxed (even with our crazy dog!)Posted on Michelle Putt Alan made our family photo experience fun and put us all at ease, even our photography-reluctant 3yo. The end result has captured our family spirit so well and we are thrilled to have these beautiful keepsakes to remember the early years with our young children! Highly recommend a photo session with Alan ☺️Posted on Kate Edwards The whole process from enquiry through to art work on the wall was easy and fun with Alan. The photo shoot with my son and dog down on the beach provided a range of different, and yet all fantastic, photos - the hard part was choosing which ones to keep. Highly recommend Alan, a great photographer who adds humour along the way.Load more
