Photoplay Photography has kicked off 2024 with two star additions to its roster – photographer and visual artist, Tim Georgeson, and portrait photographer, Hugh Stewart.
Tim Georgeson is known for his unique creative insights into the human condition and his emotionally stirring work. This is exemplified in his ground-breaking collaborations with Australian Indigenous artists that highlight his commitment to complex storytelling. He works with film, photography, musical design and environmental storytelling that capture the intricacies of contemporary life.
Georgeson’s commercial work spans directing and photography, with major campaigns for brands such as The Guardian, James Boags, Fila, Converse and Apple. His extensive exhibition history is celebrated internationally, winning acclaim from intenrational awards programs such as World Press Photo and Leica Camera Awards, and his work is held in prestigious collections including Australian National Portrait Gallery, the Australian Museum and Bundanon Trust Art Museum.
Hugh Stewart’s portfolio is a treasure trove of A-listers – Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Snook, and the late Barry Humphries – work that often captures unguarded moments and reveals genuine personalities. Stewart’s editorial credits include publications Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Rolling Stone and he is a key collaborator with Baz Luhrmann, working on Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, and Elvis, and his commercial work includes iconic imagery for Tourism Australia, RM Williams, Westfield and Sony.
Stewart’s portraits hang in the National Portrait Galleries in London and Canberra. His highly successful Pop-Up Portrait Gallery in Woollahra and Bangalow allows anyone the experience of sitting for one of the local greats of photographic portraiture.
Alison Lydiard, executive producer at Photoplay Photography, stated, “Alongside the highly regarded group of photographers we represent at Photoplay Photography, we are very pleased that Tim and Hugh have joined the likes of artist Vicki Lee, Dutch photographer Jouk Oosterhof and LA-based artist Sarah Bahbah to consolidate our artistic credentials in the commercial context. They’re a perfect mix of creativity and inspiration and add tremendous depth and experience to our roster.”
