It's about collaboration; the more you put into your sessions, the better the final images will be.

Let’s get to know each other.
Welcome, I'm John Ferguson... or just Fergie, if you prefer.
If you're someone who's curious, a bit adventurous, and knows how to have a laugh when the time's right—well, we’re probably your found your photographer.
Photography has been my life for nearly forty years, and I still feel that same buzz I did when I first picked up a camera. Actually, no....I'm even more fired up about it now than ever before.
But let’s be clear. I’m not your typical photographer. I won’t blind you with science, bore you with kit talk, or pretend it’s all about megapixels. What I will do is make you feel relaxed, understood, and genuinely excited about the images we’re going to create together.
I love all kinds of portrait photography from documentary, editorial, fashion, to headshots... I love photographing people (and getting to know them). And, without blowing my own trumpet, I’m bloody good at it too.
But here’s the secret sauce: great photography is a two-way association . It’s all about collaboration. When we both bring something to the table..honesty, energy, humour, even a bit of vulnerability - that’s when the magic happens. My job is to guide, direct, and help you feel confident every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at one of my portraits and felt that spark of connection… that's no accident.
So, whether you're after something bold and cinematic, clean and classic, or totally outside the box, then let’s make it happen. Let’s tell your story in a way that feels real, powerful, and unapologetically you.
