Guest Speaker

THE CREATIVE LEE KNOWLES

How to create pictures that speak a thousand words. 

Lee Knowles is fine art portrait and commercial photographer, and owner of professional portrait specialist service.  He grew up watching his grandfather who always had his camera by his side capturing moments among family and friends. He was inspired by what we learn through watching others.

Lee knows the most powerful photos feel natural and organic.  He also believes the best photographs are developed through our connection to each other, our goals and values. 

Sparking his love for photography was shooting a  spectrum of live music performances as a freelancer for several review magazines including Laura Marling, The John Butler Trio, the Cat Empire, Snoopdog, Arrested Development and INXS.

"Front of stage is an exciting place to be at the best of times but for a photographer with camera in hand, I am in my element"

Lee has taken his love for music, being real, and his interest in people, to develop his photography into an art form.   

He has created professional portfolios for industry professionals such as models, actors, musicians and performing artists,  the building sector, law and financial industries, and some of Adelaide's top companies providing them with quality commercial and headshot photography.   

He understands how important first impressions are in your online presence, and in this presentation he will give you some tips about how you can bring that art into your branding photos.

You will learn how to create photos that:

  • Connect to your story
  • Capture the small details
  • Feel natural and real
  • Speak a thousand words

If you want to be inspired to create an image folio that captures and reflects the deep heart of who you are,  you will really be inspired by this presentation.
