Welcome to AARTICHOKE STUDIOS. A small-ish, new-ish creative studio with a passion for photography. It’s a studio, let’s say with an old spirit and young heart.

It started as a passing thought while staring out the window on the Pakenham line — and by late September 2024, that thought became AARTICHOKE STUDIOS.

In our first year, we’ve collaborated with emerging artists, established creatives, passionate enthusiasts, and even made our mark on the international scene.

Our photographs have gone on to do some pretty cool things — helping artists connect with fans, filling venues to sold-out shows, shaping marketing campaigns, building small business websites, and backing successful grant applications.

What began as a small idea has grown into a creative space that celebrates honesty, connection, and the art of doing things a bit differently.
