About
Frances Andrijich is one of Western Australia’s finest photographers. Her extraordinary images – whether captured in the townships of South Africa, the Croatian countryside, or Indonesian slums – have earned her a growing national and international reputation. That said, Frances’ heart lies in Western Australia and she has a passion for capturing the people and the places they live in. Shooting intuitively and incisively, Frances’ photographs can be lush and painterly; or witty and surprising. They are always technically superb.
Frances’ images grace the covers of magazines, feature articles, books and campaigns, including Australian Financial Review Magazine, Good Weekend, Australian Geographic, Halliday Magazine, Gourmet Traveller, The New York Times, Wine Decanter (New York & London Editions) and The Australian, Wish Magazine. Her portfolio is diverse, grown out of her ability to be versatile, and her desire for the extraordinary. It includes portraits documentary, dance, corporate, landscapes, food and wine. Corporate clients include Alcoa, Amelia Park Wines, Apparatus, Are Media, Cape Mentelle, Cullen Wines, Larry Cherubino Wines, City of Swan, Leeuwin Estate, Lions eye Institute, Moss Wood, Parmelia Hilton, Qantas, Red Cross, Australia’s South West Tourism, Vasse Felix, Wine Australia and the West Australian Ballet.
Frances is the recipient of numerous awards; she exhibits regularly and has published eleven books, also a contributing photographer to 4 other books.
In yet another way to share a clients story in a longer and often more engaging way, we have introduced the production of videos, we create short films for websites and social media.
Frances works closely with her team and Associate Photographer Clair Negri. Clair takes on the role of second photographer and her unique organisational skills makes her vital in the pre-production on major campaigns, often liaising with clients, coordinating schedules and assisting with the styling. We have recently collaborated on larger productions with filmmaker Michael Muntz.
Our studio is devoted to consistently producing only the highest quality of work. Together, with our clients, we are always pushing the boundaries to create outstanding images and videos that fulfil their individual briefs.
