Advertising and Commercial Photographer

Chris Cassar has always had a deep passion for creative photography. He purchased his first SLR camera at age twelve. As a young teenager he spent days and nights in a converted 1.2x1.2 meter pantry / darkroom - processing film, hand enlarging black & white prints as well as experimenting and refining other photographic techniques.

At seventeen, Chris entered the professional photography scene as a junior assistant with one of Melbourne’s leading commercial / industrial / advertising studios. He went on to work for a number of high profile commercial advertising photography studios until 1994 when he launched his own freelance creative photography business – Chris Cassar Photography Pty Ltd.

Chris has a wealth of photographic experience. His style is intuitive and finely evolved. He views his professional career as a vocation rather than a job. Chris is highly passionate about the creative process, and loves the intellectual challenge of interpreting a client’s idea, product or place - transforming it into a dynamic image that conveys a strong visual message which informs and inspires the viewer.
