More than 20 years working for Australia’s top-selling lifestyle publications shooting celebrities as diverse as Janet Jackson, Nicole Kidman, Jimmy Barnes and Shane Warne to John Howard, Kerry Packer, Sylvester Stallone and Russell Crowe has given Ross Coffey the expertise to work in every situation, with every temperament, light and timeframe. His portfolio includes interiors, fashion, beauty, celebrity and corporate portraiture and celebrity weddings. Ross also documented the construction of Sydney’s Olympic Stadium with his coffee table book “How We Built the Dream”.
Working in locations as diverse as Italy, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Bali and Borneo his philosophy is to blend seamlessly into the shoot to capture the true personalities and essence of his subjects. Whether it be publicity stills for a movie or TV series or to immortalise the management team behind a leading corporate company “people will always be my favourite subjects as everyone I photograph has a story to tell.” Whether it’s a celebrity, politician or man off the street, my challenge is to always make them feel totally relaxed and then make them look their very best”.
