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 feature articles, campaigns and magazines, including The Guardian Australia, Australian Financial Review Magazine, Good Weekend, Australian Women’s Weekly, Marie Claire, Australian Geographic, Halliday Magazine, Gourmet Traveller, The New York Times, Wine Decanter (New York & London Editions) The Weekend Australian, and 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, lifestyle, landscapes, food and wine. Corporate clients include Australia’s South West Tourism, Apparatus, Amelia Park Wines, Are Media, Alcoa, Ampersand Estates Winery, Cape Mentelle, Cullen Wines, Cherubino Wines, City of Swan, Christian Brothers College, Fogarty Wine Group, FMG, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Iona Presentation College, Leeuwin Estate, Lions Eye Institute, Lifeline, Luma (Women’s Health), Moss Wood Winery, Nikola Estate, Olio Bello, Penrhos College, Qantas, Red Cross, St John of God, Vasse Felix, Westpac, 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. Frances is represented by the Brown Bill Effect Agency in Melbourne, Australia.
In yet another way to share a client’s story, in a longer and often more engaging way, we produce videos and short films for multi-platform usage, including websites and social media. We often collaborate on larger video productions with filmmaker Michael Muntz.
Frances works closely with her team Olivia, Thomas, Jess and Clair, who are trained to take on the roles of second photographer and associate shooters. Their unique organisational and technical skills also make them vital assets in the pre and post-production of campaigns, often liaising with clients, coordinating schedules, assisting with styling and completing high quality retouch.
Our studio is devoted to consistently producing only the highest quality work. Working collaboratively with our clients, we are always pushing the boundaries to create outstanding images and videos that fulfil their individual briefs.
