About Me

This is the official caspix blog. I shoot digital and film. I heart square crop. I love holga. All photography is my passion.

I have had a camera in hand for years. I have worn my heart on my sleeve since I was born. I have worked in creative fields for years. I have shot live music, chefs in the kitchen, pregnancy at dawn and Australian fashion week. I have shot 16hr weddings, witnessed broken wrists at Roller Derby, been sprayed with sweat at Muay Thai fights and documented a birth. And I loved every minute of it. Why? Because it is all part of life, and that’s what I capture. Life and the in-between. I capture it as creatively as I can. I shoot with a documentary/editorial eye and love shooting warmth and emotion. Life is emotional.

I don't make people do cheesy duck lip kisses, awkward Charlie's Angel poses or pretend album covers. And absolutely no jumping wedding parties. Just natural, fabulous and real.

I am available for commissions Australian wide and beyond and do not offer pre-packaged ad nauseum. Cross my heart.

Wedding commissions start at $3,000
Portrait and editorial commissions start at $500
Commercial commissions POA

Christine Pobke - Cas – I love you. You’re amazing. Just needed to tell you that. And any couple that gets to have a shoot with you is the luckiest couple in the world – I WOULD KNOW!

Cathy Crawley - I would fly in a hot air balloon over the Hunter Valley with my beloved BTW, awesome to see more of Christine on the blog!

Peta - ive always been a huge fan of yours Cas, your work is just amazing….
But im afraid the only way i can step infront of the camera is if the photos are TOTALLY photoshopped!!!!!!!!!! (& that’s if i haven’t broken it in the first place!!) haha
I will just continue to admire your work from right here……xx

janine kaye - Hey Cas, I would love a session with my hubby..where I look cute and happy (opposite to the frumpy and panicked look I normally sport in photos) and we are together, alone, no children, long grass, late afternoon sun and a picnic blanket! I dream of photos together that capture our connection and our love…in a totally fun and funky way!

Chrissy N - Hi Cas,
I think your work is awesome!!!!
I hope you will consider to shoot for my husband and I.It will be a 3 in 1 session
1.we got married last year on Valentines day,but I don’t know if you remember last valentines day,but it rained and rained so we did not get nice wedding photos. I had a red wedding dress made but did not get the chance to have it photographed which upset me coz i have no memories of it

2.it will be our 1st year wedding anniversary and I cannot think of a better surprise for my husband than a shoot with you.He will be over the moon!!!

3.This year Valentines day also happen to be on Chinese new year day and we celebrate this tradition.So a shoot on this day will be so memorable

My idea is to have a red theme for this shoot.
1.I can wear three different red dress to represent the 3 occasions,one is my red wedding dress to represent our anniversary.I can even wear my red wedding shoes.(Yes I wore red shoes on my wedding day)
2.have lots of red roses/petals and red love hearts to celebrate Valentines day.
3.We can also have red envelopes to celebrate Chinese new year.with $20 notes(coz it is red).they are good luck as it mean money is coming and that equals wealth.
What do you think?Does it sound too crazy to have that many items for a red theme????I hope you will consider my ideas.

Angie Baxter - Your photographs are awesome Cas – I love this one of Christine and her man. Would love to win a session with you. Dream session? My husband and I met in Sydney and spent all our pre-babelet years around Elizabeth Bay/Potts Point/Darlinghurst. Would love a session around some of those old streets, cafes, secluded gardens with harbour backdrop… and would be awesome if I looked thin and adored

linda - Your photos transcend the emotion felt by the people they capture. My dream session would be something that is often missed. Photos of us in the everyday – the place we call our own – our home. After all home is where the heart is. And it’s that simplicity of emotion that underlies your photography.

christine goodman - As opposed to catching on camera newly found love, I would love you to capture the lines of wisdom, experience and the undying love on our faces developed over the great years of being together.

Shantel - Me and my partner are a young couple who are expecting our first baby in May and is our first Valentines together, we’ve been through alot of struggle this year being young and doing it on our own, and would love to do something like this together, pregnacy photo’s together, black and white, simple but beautiful.. I just think it would be the most amazing valentine present to give my partner to remind us, it eachother that got us through..

Rhiannon - Love what you do and the joy you capture…what would my dream be? A group of photos that capture the laughter my partner and I share every day!

Kayla Hoye - I am quite into Photograhy and I took some time to look through your website….WOW. I am amazed by your talent and would be honoured to do a shoot with you.
My partner and I have recently moved out together and would love to decorate the house with beautiful photos of the two of us.
I would love to shoot on a Sydney Beach – simply capturing the love my partner and I have for one another.
Dressed casually in white, barefoot and happy – natural photos, that would be my dream shoot. I hope you can make it come true.

Marie - My dream photo shoot with Pix…. I think another instalment of my little one growing up with pics at Centennial Park (bit of a pictorial) – last time it was just me and the little one – this time – to add in the hubby – her wonderful step dad – just lurking in the background…. that would be neat!

Juz - I would love a loved up coupled session
staring into his eyes
every feeling in expression
even the one where i cry!

Julie - What about some lady love? No no not *that* kind…;o) I have five of the best girlfriends in the world. Not all of us are married loved up ones! Two of us are totally single! But we’ve been in each others lives for a hundred years (literally!), have travelled together, been pregnant together, given birth together, partied, fought and played together. One thing we’ve never done is had photographs taken together! We are the ultimate loved up love match for Valentines Day…;o)

Lisa - Well, first I’d just like to say that I’m glad it’s not one of those 25 words or less things, God I hate those! Now as for the photo, back in the day I was a Body Pump instructor, and I met my husband in a Pump class. I used to wear a little pink crop top and my hair in ‘Heidi braids’ and he would make jokes and heckle me from the back of the class for about 6 months… and then one day he asked me out, and the rest is history! I would love to recreate our meeting (I still have the crop top!) but of course with your beautiful artistic twist on it. Oh, and my former ‘abs of steel’ are now competing with a baby bump! These days I’m a photographer too, but so we rarely get shots of the two of us together, as I’m always on the other side of the camera! We live in Melbourne, but have family in Sydney, so if you happen to be down here, or we go up there, we’d love a fun chance to capture our relationship!

serge garwoli - I would like to have some pics of me and my true love.

My real life partner.

We only met 12 months ago and we are both in our middle 50′s.

Life has never been better….and…I would like to say that life doesn’t begin at 40 …but…when ever you like it.

Some pics of us together now would be inspirational for our grand children.

Let’s get one thing straight….sex at 55 is much better than at 25.

Take care and be happy…there is nothing else!

All we can do is be our selves…all the time.
That’s the thing that differentiates us from the rest.
cheers

Joe - A photography session with my kids and partner,
On a beach having fun, full of laughter,
With the perfect scenery of the majestic sea behind,
These memories will always stay in my mind,
A glorious day, dressed in white and blue,
Going barefoot is well overdue,
With family footprints embedded in the sand,
This is the place where you’ll make our memories stand,
“Caspix” can only make this families dream come true,
Of a photo session by the beach with a tranquil view.
