Isaac McNicol Photography
Hi, I’m Isaac! I’ve been photographing people professionally since 2012 and it still feels like a privilege.
A privilege to be invited into people’s inner worlds and a pleasure to create a space where people feel totally free to just be their natural selves. The way I see it, why not make this fun!
A little bit about me - I was born and raised in Adelaide into a family of five kids. Now I have 10 nieces and nephews with more on the way! I love being an uncle - the bonus is you also get to hand them back when you’ve had enough! When I get a chance I also love rock-climbing and drawing.
I really love photography that tells a story. I love capturing natural moments between people, especially ones that reveal a glimpse into who they are.
I’m an introvert in what sometimes feels like a world of larger-than-life extrovert photographers. When I’m shooting, my preference is to just allow moments to happen naturally and capture them documentary style. A honest smile will always be better than a posed one, even if I have to edit out the parsley between your teeth. But seriously, natural is always better.
And while I prefer to remain out of the limelight, I love it when I can ask a simple question or prompt people in such a way that it opens up a beautiful moment where the camera fades into the background and it becomes about why you want to remember this moment in the first place.
