Monte Luke Photography Studio

Established in 1920, Monte Luke Studio have been the photographers of choice for royalty, politicians, entertainers, media identities, sporting heroes, society weddings, large corporations and legal and accounting firms. We have developed an enviable reputation as leaders in the area of corporate photography, be it for large or small organisations or for individuals needing a business portrait or LinkedIn profile image. First impressions are all important, so it is critical that the photographic image you use to present yourself publicly is just right. and this means picking the right photographer! Our owner and principal photographer Keith Friendship will be behind the lens. Despite his 30 years experience, he still treats each shoot as an individual and unique assignment. Keith knows the facial expression and body positioning that will show you at your best, and how to put even the most camera shy at ease so that they relax into the shoot. Our Studio is just a few minutes walk from Wynyard Station and Martin Place, offering you convenience, a private space, professional lighting options, a variety of background screens and the ability for you to view and discuss your images on a studio monitor as the shoot progresses, actively involving you in the process. We can also come to your premises if preferred and have portable lighting and screens for this purpose. Your time is valuable and though every shoot is individual, on average you need 15 minutes with the photographer. The preferred image will then be selectively and discreetly tweaked - with the benefit of many years experience in this area - rather than using an overall retouching programme which can result in a 'too perfect' or 'plastic' image. Once finished (usually same day) your digital image is then made available to you to download from a password protected area of our website, a secure yet 'no fuss' delivery method. It is worth the investment to get the best possible results!
