NAPWHA – end of year photos

Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of photographing the team at NAPWHA  (National Association of People with HIV Australia) for their end-of-year lunch. This shoot was a mix of individual portraits of staff members, alongside a group shot (I’ve been photographing the NAPWHA team for several years).

We started in the gardens in Surry Hills, aiming for a relaxed, leafy backdrop — but the weather had other ideas. So we wrapped things up, staging the final shots right in front of the restaurant nearby. The change of location gave the images a fresh, urban feel.

The shoot was a success — a combination of friendly faces, professional portraits, and the group camaraderie that makes NAPWHA such a standout organisation.

Taking a rooftop group image of 50

NAPWHA members gathered together in late 2024 for their annual conference, held in Surry Hills, Sydney.

To mark the occasion and for upcoming communication purposes, I was asked to take a group portrait. I always enjoy the challenges of photographing larger groups and look forward to seeing the results. 

Finding an ample space can be an obvious obstacle. Fortunately we had access to a large balcony with an impressive view of the CBD.

I always check the lighting before assembling people for a group portrait. I usually take test-snaps of myself posed in various positions in the chosen setting – this creates a silly opportunity to create duplicate images of myself … and this was no exception.

I look forward to working with NAPWHA (National Association of People with HIV Australia) again on a future project. And do not hesitate to get in touch should you require photography of team members or groups.
