As the founder of Melbourne Headshot Company, Andrew has photographed thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, politicians, and business leaders. His clients include major organisations such as Westpac, ANZ, Telstra, and the Victorian Government, and he is known for helping people look confident, authentic, and approachable in front of the camera. In 2012, Andrew discovered astrophotography after receiving a telescope from a friend. What began as a hobby quickly developed into a passion that earned him international acclaim, including multiple Science Photographer of the Year awards, the prestigious David Malin Award, and six NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day selections. Beyond his own photography, Andrew has spent decades mentoring photographers, judging competitions, and sharing his knowledge with the wider photography community.

| 5/15/26 | ![]() IR Camera Conversions Explained - Wayne Rogers from Imaging By Design (EP176) | Wayne Rogers from Imaging by Design joins The Camera Life to unpack camera repairs, infrared conversions, autofocus systems, lens calibration, Leica engineering, sensor technology, and the hidden world of forensic and industrial imaging. From cleaning sensors safely to building thermal and speed cameras, this episode dives deep into how cameras actually work and why precision matters. If you’ve ever wondered about infrared photography, lens sharpness, or what really separates premium gear, this episode is packed with insight. Imaging By Design.A Melbourne-based company selling IR conversions and accessories. “The humble camera” possibly the most complicated piece of equipment we own, fine mechanics, micro electronics and precision optics sitting dormant for most of its life until it springs into action to capture a moment of time that never repeats. Imaging By Design is a highly specialised imaging engineering + camera service business based in Melbourne. While many know them for high-end camera servicing and repairs, that’s only part of the story. Imaging By Design sits at the intersection of precision camera work, advanced technical modifications, and fully custom imaging systems, functioning more like a specialised imaging lab than a traditional camera shop. We’ll be diving into the unique work they do, from infrared, UV, and full-spectrum camera conversions to astro modifications and cinema lens adjustments. These are highly technical services that place them in a niche category, with very few businesses in Australia capable of delivering this level of expertise. It’s a side of the industry most photographers never see, but one that plays a critical role in pushing the boundaries of what cameras can actually do. Imaging By Design also designs and builds custom imaging solutions for scientific, industrial, and specialist applications, solving complex problems with tailored hardware and software systems. If you’ve ever wondered what sits beyond traditional photography, this conversation will give you a completely different perspective on what cameras are truly capable of. https://imagingbydesign.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/imagingbydesign/https://www.facebook.com/people/Imaging-by-Design/100083555133282/ ===========================================THE CAMERA LIFE - LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST===========================================➡Blog: https://luckystraps.com/the-camera-life➡YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the_camera_life ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_camera_life_podcast➡Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dC4kPNrLORz2ASrukyOS5?si=18c6fd2534cf4d97➡Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-camera-life/id1760304677 ===================================================LUCKY STRAPS - THE BEST CAMERA STRAPS ON THE PLANET===================================================✅ Quick Release System✅ Anti-Theft, Cut-Resistant and Safety Lock✅ Super Comfortable Genuine Leather✅ Australian Made and Lifetime Guarantee a✅ Personalise with Your Name or Logo✅ Owned, Designed and Used by Working Photographers SHOP NOW https://luckystraps.com/(Use code for 15% off - Codes are JUSTIN JIM or GREG - Which host do you like the most?) ================CONNECT WITH US================Greg Cromie - Writer and Photographer➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/➡Greg's Blog: https://gregcromie.blog/ Justin Castles - Photographer and Founder of Lucky Straps➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/justincastles Jim Aldersey - Wedding and Boudoir Photographer➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/jimaldersey/➡Wedding IG: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsbyjim_/=================================================== | — | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | ![]() Kris Anderson | How to Stand Out as a Performer (Headshots That Actually Work) (EP182) | Award-winning performance photographer Kris Anderson joins The Camera Life Podcast to discuss theater photography, actor headshots, improv performance, imposter syndrome, judging photography competitions, mentoring creatives, AI image generation, cosplay culture, and balancing a long-term corporate career with creative work. Kris shares practical insights into building authentic relationships with performers, experimenting with photography techniques, and why authenticity still matters in an AI-driven world. Kris is a photographer specialising in performers, with over a decade of experience capturing actors, dancers, and theatre professionals. After starting in 2010 shooting a wide range of subjects—from weddings to families—he refined his focus to the creative industries he’s most passionate about. Today, his work blends headshots, portraiture, theatre, and editorial-style imagery, all designed to help performers stand out and get noticed. Known for creating a relaxed, collaborative environment, Kris makes the experience of being photographed feel natural and enjoyable—even for those who usually feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. His approach is simple: clear communication, a bit of fun, and delivering images clients genuinely connect with. Beyond the camera, Kris is deeply embedded in the photography community. He serves as a board director for the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography, Director of Judging for the Australian Photographic Prize, and regularly judges and speaks at events worldwide. As a performer himself with decades in improv theatre, he understands exactly how powerful the right image can be in capturing attention and opening doors. https://www.imagesbyanderson.com/https://www.instagram.com/imagesbyanderson ===========================================THE CAMERA LIFE - LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST===========================================➡Blog: https://luckystraps.com/the-camera-life➡YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the_camera_life ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_camera_life_podcast➡Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dC4kPNrLORz2ASrukyOS5?si=18c6fd2534cf4d97➡Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-camera-life/id1760304677 ===================================================LUCKY STRAPS - THE BEST CAMERA STRAPS ON THE PLANET===================================================✅ Quick Release System✅ Anti-Theft, Cut-Resistant and Safety Lock✅ Super Comfortable Genuine Leather✅ Australian Made and Lifetime Guarantee a✅ Personalise with Your Name or Logo✅ Owned, Designed and Used by Working Photographers SHOP NOW https://luckystraps.com/(Use code for 15% off - Codes are JUSTIN JIM or GREG - Which host do you like the most?) ================CONNECT WITH US================Greg Cromie - Writer and Photographer➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/➡Greg's Blog: https://gregcromie.blog/ Justin Castles - Photographer and Founder of Lucky Straps➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/justincastles Jim Aldersey - Wedding and Boudoir Photographer➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/jimaldersey/➡Wedding IG: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsbyjim_/=================================================== | — | ||||||
