Advertising-Trained.
Camera in Hand.
Plan in Place.
Hi, I'm Tammy TingTing. I DON'T WING IT.
I’m a Sydney-based professional branding and commercial photographer with over 15 years behind the camera. My background is in advertising and fashion, where I was trained to think in positioning, messaging and outcomes. That mindset never left.
So when you say, “I just need some photos,” I’m already thinking: For what? For who? For where?
Because photography isn’t decoration. It’s a tool. And tools should work.
Every shoot is planned around your brand, your goals and where the images need to live, whether that’s branding photography for your business, commercial work for a campaign, casting portfolios or personal photography done properly.
Nothing is random. Nothing is improvised. Just strategy that works.
How I Work
I take the stress out of showing up.
For you and your brand.
You don't need to know how to pose- I'll direct every frame.
You don't need to feel photogenic- That's the most common fear and it's almost never the reality.
You don't need to figure it out on the day- We've already planned it.
We define the outcome first- Then we create.
Structured. Calm. Intentional.
(And yes — midway through the shoot I'm probably on the floor or climbing furniture to get the angle right. The preparation is serious. The process, considerably less so.)
Who I Work With
Not sure how to sell yourself or your product visually?
Good. You're exactly my kind of client.
You might be:
- A founder building a brand
- A business owner scaling your presence (and your team's)
- A brand launching a campaign
- A model or actor building a portfolio for agencies or casting
- Or someone who wants personal photography done properly
Maybe the camera's never felt like your friend. Maybe your past photos didn't reflect where you're headed.
You care how you're seen. You just don't want to guess.
Why choose me
I'm lucky to attract clients who already know what they're building. They don't need convincing that this matters. They just want it done properly.
I'm not the cheapest option in Sydney. Not because I'm expensive for the sake of it. Because the work that happens before you walk in. The brief, the strategy, the research, and the planning is what makes the shoot work. That's not the visible part. It's also the whole job.
When you book with me, you're not paying for a day in front of a camera. You're paying for the thinking before it, the direction during it, and the years of experience behind every single decision.
The images should still be working for you two years from now.
That's the standard I hold myself to.
Sceptical? Fair.
Testimonials
Sarah Barrie, crime thrillers AUTHOR (personal Branding)
Tammy is an incredibly warm, friendly, and polished professional. As someone who’s usually uncomfortable in front of a camera, I was put completely at ease from our first contact. She takes care of everything: from helping you choose what to wear, to showing you how to stand and what to do with your hands. The whole process is easy, stress-free, and genuinely fun. Then she delivers absolutely outstanding photographs. My mini-branding shoot with her was the most amazing experience! I can’t recommend her high enough.
Matt Smith, Sales Director (Executive Portrait)
I’d never done a professional branding shoot before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the start, Tammy made the process clear and structured. The pre-shoot questionnaire and planning session helped me define what I wanted to communicate, and the detailed shot list meant everything had purpose. On the day, her direction was calm and precise. I never felt awkward or unsure , she knew exactly how to adjust posture, expression, and tone to achieve the right outcome. The final images strike the balance I was hoping for: professional and authoritative, while still approachable. They’ve elevated how I present myself across platforms and strengthened my personal brand.
If you care about how you show up, I highly recommend working with Tammy.
