Testimonials

"I can't elaborate enough on the exceptional images and visual creations that Damien has produced for me on each and every campaign, over the last 6 years. (He's my secret weapon that makes the creative so great!) 
Apart from his amazing talent behind the lens and in post, Damien and producer Nicole, are professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, and put all their energy into meeting deadlines, budgets and achieving outstanding results with casting and styling too. (Making my job easier!)
Not only that, every shoot is so much fun to be part of. "
- Fiona Neaves – Creative Services @ Smart Advertising

"We've worked on and off with Damien for many years now.  Damien is always our first choice when it comes to professional photography.
Damien has a reputation for being a highly creative and highly stylised advertising photographer - and this reputation is no accident.  Damien's work, certainly in our experience, is unparalleled when it comes to bringing ideas to life.  From the initial moment he receives a brief, right through to delivery of the final shots, Damien exudes an extraordinary level of enthusiasm and passion.  And this passion does not go unnoticed by our clients.  Nearly every client we know that has worked with Damien can't speak highly enough of the energy he brings to the process and the excellence of the final work (in terms of both concept and execution).
Damien also is easy to work with.  His personable nature makes it easy to brainstorm ideas, finalise a concept and then bring it all to life in the shoot.  He naturally makes his subjects at ease during the shoot and has the innate ability to get people to act outside their comfort zone. 
But perhaps the best part of working Damien is simply the creativity he brings to every project.  Often we'll bring Damien a brief and after discussing through with him change our entire approach as we've collectively come up with something better... he just "gets" what makes a good image and striking message.
We look forward to working with Damien on many shoots to come..."
- Ben Stokes – Director @ Cru Digital

“Damien makes me look good on every job he does for us. He takes an idea or a mock-up, no matter how primitive and transforms it into something brilliant every time. Whether the idea is extremely elaborate or pure and simple he just makes it happen and blows your mind with the end-product. Having the ability to really understand the expectations and vision for a project is a rare talent and one that Damien also possesses which makes it just that much easier to achieve the outcome you want. I have 100% confidence in what he does and it's always fun times working with him and his Producer.”
- Shane Cresser - Creative Director @ Cresser Creative

Damien is a talented and highly professional photographer in Brisbane whose social and humorous attitudes to life and work bring an extra level of comfort to a shoot. This not only brings out the best in the talent in front of the camera but helps push each creative concept far past expectation. We always look forward to working with Damien as we know he'll get the job done with complete professionalism.
- Mike Fritz - Art Director @ Clemenger BBDO

“Damien Bredberg is one of those people who makes work a joy. His folio speaks for itself. Damien is also very easy to work with. He has a great professional manner that is both easy-going and expedient. And I believe it’s this combination that makes him successful.
Damien is very skilled in all aspects of production and post-production across all styles of photography. However, the fact that he is so good with people (clients and talent), has made him a stand out people photographer; whether it be fashion, contemporary editorial portraiture, creating conceptually idiosyncratic characters or massively detailed ensemble performances. With Damien you know you’ll be happy with the result, and you’ll enjoy the journey along the way.”
- Rem Bruijn– Creative Director @ Brain Heart

"I have used Damien's services for the past seven years for corporate, campaign and commercial work and - without exception - have been impressed his with photographic and post-production work every time. Sure he's multi-award winning with an enviable reputation - but perhaps the best aspect of Damien's work, for me, is his professionalism. He is prompt, accurate in quoting, understands how to interpret a brief - and always thinking about how to achieve the best outcome. You won't need to find another photographer. Ever."
- Jason Olsson-Seeto – Director @ Meshlogic

“Damien's work and ability to help manage a large and complex photo for a TV Series Poster was Excellent. All commented on the quality of his work after a recent USA Pitching Trip which showcased his work. Many thanks Damien; we look forward to working with you in future!”
- Dean Pannell -- CEO / EP at Ebermedia Ltd

How to choose the right photographer?

Assessing photographer’s folios is essentially subjective, making it difficult to compare apples with apples. But above all, the decision should not be price driven but whether the style of the photographer’s folio most represents your requirements.

What to expect from a professional photographer?

Whatever the subject, whatever the medium, the professional photographer's job is to make the client look good by creating powerful images. Being a professional commercial photographer means making the clients’ interests your own. So when you, as the client, put your photography in professional hands, you get the enthusiasm on top of an array of creative, technical and organisational skills.

As well as having the creativity to visualise the composition, the knowledge to place the lighting, the eye to capture the moment and the people skills to manage the talent, professional photographers must do the maths, understand the ever-changing technology, run the computers, and make the great images even better through digital manipulation.

Cameras are getting smarter, but cameras don't take pictures, people do. And in photography as in any other field, professionals do it better.
