Yalburu Photography

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

I have been interested in photography for a very long time, especially since I got my first digital camera back in 2000, a Canon Powershot S10.

Almost 6 years back when we were expecting our son I wanted to hire a photographer to capture some beautiful memories. Given my strong background in information technology I wanted to get access to the original un-edited photos from the camera as well.

This is primarily so that with technological advancement I would have the freedom to produce a better photo out of the original image file in future. Or at least to produce a digital photo that keeps up with the technological advances. To my utter disappointment I found that every single photographer I contacted refused to hand me over the full digital negatives.

As technologist I could never accept that. So I went ahead and purchased a Nikon DSLR and became my own photographer. As time went on I purchased other equipment (including studio lights) and started taking photography bit more seriously. The result is now I am happy to be a professional photographer who understands that clients want to have some control over their digital memories.

Today I want to change the way the photography is done.

WHAT'S IN THE NAME?

Yalburu means ‘happy’ in dialect spoken by local Yugambeh Bundjalung people. I wanted to choose a name that’s meaningful and recognises the first people of this land I live in. Also my name in my native language means being ‘happy’. So it was only appropriate to choose a name that means a lot to me :)
