Hello. My name is Simon Fazio and I am a freelance photographer and video director based in Melbourne.

I specialise in portraiture and music-related photography, and often do event work, weddings, parties, corporate headshots, lifestyle shoots and some product work - but generally any style of photography involving people (and sometimes animals).

Have a look through some of my work below, and if my particular style and approach matches with your vision, I'd love to chat more about bringing your idea to life.
