Five stars, without hesitation!!! From the initial booking with Debbie through to the viewing with Chris, the whole experience felt easy, respectful and genuinely enjoyable. Tracy’s styling guidance made everything feel considered, Flo did beautiful makeup that still felt like me (but elevated!), and Simone created such a calm, empowering space… Read more
during the shoot. Nothing felt forced or overdone. Just a really thoughtful team who know what they’re doing and make the process feel natural. Such an excellent experience- thanks team :)
My daughter and I recently had a boudoir session and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we both felt completely relaxed and comfortable. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and very professional, which immediately put us at ease. Our hair and makeup by Flo was beautifully done so soft, flattering, and… Read more
perfectly suited to the style of the shoot. But we still felt like ourselves. The attention to detail and care taken to ensure everything looked natural yet elegant really stood out.
Our Photographer Damien was exceptional. Professional, respectful, and incredibly talented, he guided us through every pose with calm confidence and clear direction. What I appreciated most was how comfortable he made us both feel there was no pressure, just encouragement and reassurance throughout the session. It truly felt like a collaborative and empowering experience.
The final images are stunning so classy, tasteful, and timeless. I couldn’t be happier (there was even a tear or 2 watching the slides) with the entire process and would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to celebrate themselves in a relaxed and supportive environment.
I was fortunate enough to win the grand prize through Exclusive Photography — a $3000 package including a photoshoot, hair and makeup, and all digital images — and the experience exceeded all expectations. Damien is an incredibly talented photographer who immediately makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Flo, who did… Read more
the hair and makeup, was equally wonderful. She created a look that felt polished and beautiful while still feeling like me.
This shoot was a bit of a defining moment for me personally. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since my teenage years and chose to embrace my stretch marks rather than hide them. Damien captured everything beautifully and the photos look incredible.
And I should probably mention — my partner Rob is especially fond of the ones where I’m wearing the “Daddy’s Favourite” singlet… so clearly they got the brief right!
I would absolutely recommend Exclusive Photography to anyone considering a photoshoot.

I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions online about Exclusive Photography, particularly around the gift voucher — so I want to share my genuine experience. Yes, I was one of the people who won the $700 gift voucher through a Facebook competition — and I’ll admit, it’s a clever marketing move… but it worked, because I genuinely loved the experience.… Read more
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and empowered.
Flo did my makeup and nailed it — flawless, high-quality, and it didn’t settle into my skin at all (which is huge for me). It even survived multiple head-under-water moments at the beach! She was warm, easy to talk to, and really listened to what I wanted, giving me full control over the final look.
I’ll admit, I had a moment of hesitation when I realised my boudoir photographer, Damien, was male — but that disappeared quickly. He was professional, relaxed, and made the whole shoot feel comfortable and natural. Any initial self-consciousness melted away once I saw his experience and attention to detail (and yes, he’s definitely seen it all before).
The photos from this shoot are hands down my favourites (in comparison to another shoot I did recently with different wonderful company). The angles, the natural retouching, and the creative direction have done wonders for my confidence — genuinely worth every dollar.
Huge thank you as well to Simone for the thoughtful, no-pressure care after the shoot. I felt supported the entire way through.
Couldn’t recommend Exclusive Photography more. Thank you to Damien, Flo, Simone, and the whole team xx
I had my first ever professional photoshoot at Exclusive Photography and its safe to say that the overall experience was amazing! At the very start, Simone gave us a warm welcome, making me feel at home already even with the nerves are crippling upon me! Flo was an awesome hair and make up artist and knew exactly what I wanted when I said "I… Read more
want to look natural as I barely wear make up..."
My personality generally screams confident already, but man, Damien my photographer, made me feel empowered with my body, that I am in complete control of my own image. He knew exactly what I wanted by showing a few examples. He's cool and makes you feel comfortable, especially when he senses that the pose may be out of your comfort zone!
While I agree that there should be more transparency on the pricing for the photo packages, people should also be aware that quality comes with price, and Exclusive Photography 1000% delivers quality both from a product and experience point of view.
I wholeheartedly enjoyed my first boudoir photoshoot experience and I thank the team at Exclusive Photography for making it happen!!!

I had such a great experience with Exclusive Photography! I’d had a really full-on week and was feeling a bit all over the place, but the team were so warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. They made me feel completely comfortable and at ease throughout the whole shoot. The photographer was lovely — really encouraging and patient — and… Read more
helped bring out my confidence in front of the camera. What started as a stressful day ended up being such a fun and positive experience. I’m so glad I did it and absolutely love the photos!

An absolutely incredible experience with Damien & Simone in the Studio from the get go. Despite being a woman who has has embraced her body through divine femenine intervention and has come out the other end of the everlasting journey to find herself looking in the mirror to see a woman I would have dreamt of becoming - I have never before seen… Read more
myself through the lens of not the camera, but the photographer (Damien) to be able to capture myself in such raw & vulnerable beauty, and seeing yourself for the first time coming into your 30's is an incredible experience.
Collaborating with Damien throughout the shoot was brilliant, fun and very professional. We were able to create a sublime dynamic to create what we had both envisioned, with extraordinary results that transcended my expectations. Doing bouidor shoots can be daunting for some; however, it is an eye-opening experience to show yourself how much beauty you carry through other people's eyes.
Simone works with her own type of magic, evoking an environment in which makes you feel validatied to recognise the beauty within yourself that you may not seen before. (don't worry, she already has the tissues ready to hand to you). This shoot held something a little closer to my heart, secrets that are meant to be kept until ready to be shared, and she saw that within me, probably when I burst into tears when I saw the art created from the fusion between Damiens artistic eye and my vision exceeded expectations.
Not only do I have a beautiful new collection of portolio photos, but I also have a beautiful leather-bound book and a gifted portrait from the team.
An incredible experience working with the team, thank you so much for inviting me to your studio and gifting me something so special.
Love, Anna Michelle Coke X

I had an amazing opportunity to get photos done with Exclusive Photography Melbourne. I was so nervous after 5 kids, I had gained some weight. I had lost my confidence. Walking in I was welcomed by Damien who made me feel comfortable straight away. I was offered a drink of my choice. Going up to get my make up done by Flo who was amazing, not only… Read more
did she do my makeup amazing Flo made me feel comfortable, and relaxed while we chatted the whole time. Getting my photos done being a boudoir shoot with a couple nice photos for my kids. I was nervous having a male photographer but Damien made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and have so much fun. Seeing a sneak peak of one photo made me relax even more and flaunt it that but more. Damien made sure I was comfortable in every position before taking the shot. The studio is so comfortable, relaxing and warm. To go down and see my photos, having everything explain to me and all on my terms of how I wanted to proceed. I highly recommend getting photos done with this amazing team Being a single mum of 5 the interaction and conversations was amazing to walk away with photos for life.
I recently had a photoshoot at Exclusive Photography with my beautiful dog Yoda, and I can honestly say it was nothing short of amazing! At first, I was a little nervous, especially about doing a lingerie shoot, something totally out of my comfort zone. But the moment I walked into the studio, that nervous energy melted away. Damian and his calm… Read more
energy, professionalism, and sense of fun made me feel relaxed, seen, and totally at ease.
We started with some playful shots, had a few laughs, and suddenly I didn’t feel silly or awkward at all. I was actually enjoying it! I’d never done anything like this before, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
The photos are stunning, it was almost impossible to not purchase all of them! They all captured something so special. I honestly can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’ve ever thought, “That’s not for me,” or felt too shy or unsure... trust me, do it anyway. You’ll walk away feeling confident, empowered, and glowing from the inside out.
This wasn’t just a photoshoot, it was a moment of self-love, fun, and celebration and I’m so grateful for it.
Thank you Damien and the lovely staff ✨️
Professional, lively and comforting. Any insecurities you have, leave at the door as you’ll forget all about them within moments of being there. Being a larger girl, I was terrified of the outcome. Damien works with you like he’s known you for years and makes you feel right at home and that you’re the most gorgeous thing on legs. It was such an amazing experience and would definitely do it again! Show details

outcome. Miranda was warm and welcoming, and did an amazing job on my hair and make up, truly felt beautiful and heard. Damien made me at ease right away, his ability to direct and guide you is invaluable as I was absolutely terrified to be so scantily dressed in front of stranger. I felt safe, beautiful, powerful and had FUN with Damien directing and gave him my full trust really paid off. Having zero experience or expectations wasnt an issue because this team know exactly what they are doing to get the best shots possible. Payment plans helped as lot because the photo were truly fantastic and I wonderful gift of self indulgence that we all need to do more often. All I can say is do it and trust this team to do you justice.
Follow-up · Studio atmosphere was really warm and welcoming. Was completely comfortable from the moment I got into my outfits untill I was finished. Most of the poses felt powerful and sexy. The ones I wasnt sure about, i did anyway and still loved the photos. Clothing changes was directed by photographer and i am grateful he took charge on those because I was very unsure of what would work but he knew exactly which ones would look best in photographs

right out of our comfort zones but Damien made us feel more than comfortable. The girls in make up and hair were also friendly and reassuring. Photos were definitely not cheap and we spent a fair bit more than we anticipated but hey why not once in a lifetime? Photos looked fabulous.
Follow-up · Team did make up to suit my age and we discussed how to do my hair. We had a couples shoot and did a few different outfits. Damien was easy to talk with and he kept the conversation s going to distract us. Making us feel a lot more comfortable.

$700 EXCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY CONSUMER EXTORTION SCAM: Do not fall for the free gift card scam, this has been reported to the ACCC multiple times, they never discuss pricing until you have had all your photo's taken, then they take you into a room and make you select the ones you do and don't want. they price the electric prints at $2,700 for 80… Read more
prints and $700 just for one print, the $700 gift card consists of the $395 been taken for the photo session, then $305 is used against the prints as credit, they are scammers, they never discuss pricing until the very end once all the photo's have been taken.
It is like as if you brought a loaf of bread and then you eat one slice and then they charge you $100 for the loaf of bread after you have had a slice.
good gimmick & marketing strategy but disappointing customer experience – I had a session at Exclusive Photography after winning a $2,800 prize from FB ad, which initially seemed like a fantastic opportunity. Before attending, I clarified that there was no obligation to purchase photos, and the team reassured me that they offered packages but no pressure to buy, also i can choose some poses I like and show the… Read more
photographer.
Upon arrival, the atmosphere felt exclusive, with a quiet lobby and a bit of mystery around the process. The session started with a makeup artist who did a great job, but the photography experience itself felt rushed. When I asked for guidance on outfit selection, the photographer simply told me to wear whatever I liked without much direction, which felt unprofessional for an exclusive experience.
During the boudoir session, I attempted to reference specific styles I had in mind, but I was told it was "too late," which left me confused.
The selection process was presented impressively on a big screen in a dimmed room, creating a premium feel. However, when it came to purchasing, I found that individual photos were priced almost as high as the full package around $2500, making it difficult to justify selecting just a few. They were also very persistent in ensuring the payment plan went through, even staying past working hours to finalize it. (that made me realized why the photographer rushed through the session)
After receiving the final product, I was disappointed with the quality—it did not reflect the premium pricing. Additionally, after researching the well-known photographer associated with the brand, I discovered it was not actually their work, which was misleading.
Overall, while the experience was marketed well, it did not deliver on the exclusivity and professionalism I expected for the price. I would advise others to carefully consider the value before committing to a package.
PLEASE READ, IF YOU HAVE WON A GIFT CARD – I am editing this review to one star to make other unexpecting gift card winners aware, I won I think about $750 gift card for this company. It included a makeover and photoshoot, and champagne. I don’t believe I asked for any champagne because they sounded rushed. As I had $300 or so left over after the price of the shoot and makeover, I asked… Read more
on the phone how much the photos were. The person stated it starts from $400, what they didn’t tell me is to get over 20 photos I needed to pay over $2000 and I felt pressured by them to pay more, even though I couldn’t afford $2000, so I went on a payment plan. It’s been over a year and I am still paying it off. I am a student and only work part time. $2000+ for photos is probably reasonable, but what isn’t reasonable is not stating that to begin with, and taking advantage of people who think they have won something rare.
I have been considering changing this review for a year now, I wrote this review to get one more photo for free. I have seen other reviews, and realise I am not the only one that has experienced this. To me it feels like a scam and a tactic to take advantage.
I am not going to edit the rest, because the photos are amazing and [Name Removed] and [Name Removed] were lovely and made me feel comfortable. [The overall experience was really professional and enjoyable. All the staff are lovely and experienced. [Name Removed] did a great job on my makeup and [Name Removed] was a fun and easy photographer to work with.]

Thank you so much Simone! Made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the photoshoot. I was blown away by the end results. Looking over all the photos just amazing! Can’t thank you enough!
The team at Exclusive Photography Melbourne were great! I did a Boudoir Photo Session. So friendly, professional and easy to talk to. Damian made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.

and safe, which is so important when you’re doing something outside your comfort zone.
Having my hair and makeup done was such a beautiful part of the experience. I’m embarrassed that I can’t remember her name, but she was unbelievably down-to-earth and completely understood the look I was hoping for. She made me feel beautiful before I even stepped in front of the camera.
The shoot itself… I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I’ve never been someone who looks in the mirror and embraces what I see, yet somehow they guided me into poses that felt effortless and made me feel confident, powerful, and sexy in a way I’ve never experienced.
When it came time to view the images, I actually had tears in my eyes. For the first time in my life I saw myself the way others must see me. And when they asked if I wanted anything Photoshopped, it was an easy “no.” I loved what I saw — every curve, every line, exactly as it is.
Choosing my final canvas piece was emotional in the best way. As a single mum with two very protective teenage boys, I know they might not understand right now — but one day, I know they’ll see these images and think: That’s our mum at 46… and she looks amazing.
Yesterday wasn’t just a photoshoot. It was a moment of healing, empowerment, and finally seeing my worth. Thank you, Exclusive Photography, for helping me embrace myself in a way I never have before.

I had a fantastic experience with Flo and Damien today. Flo’s makeup skills are incredible, she perfectly matched my style and made me feel beautiful without feeling overdone. The photoshoot with Damien was just as impressive. He created a comfortable atmosphere, gave great direction, and produced stunning photos.

I had an amazing experience with Exclusive Photography in Melbourne. I had never had a boudoir photoshoot before so I was quite nervous but Miranda made me feel very comfortable from the get go.

She was easy to talk to and also made me feel very comfortable, any changes I had she was more than happy to make. Damien was my photographer, he helped me to choose which outfits looked best. He was very warm and welcoming. I had no inspiration for my poses or the vibe I wanted to portray. Damien asked be about myself and worked to create a photos that reflect me. He was extremely patient when posing me. I could believe that the photos were of me when I saw the results, I was so happy!
