A Cairns photographer with a passion for people and places.
Natalie Turner is the professional photographer and designer for Stella Studios. Natalie loves her profession!!! She is also an affliated member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers.
She believes that the most inspiring images photographers can capture are the ones that are treasured forever. Natalie’s success at being rated as one of the leading Cairns Wedding photographers and Portrait Studio specialists is the ability to capture human spirit, love and powerful emotion.
Natalie believes that a photographers purpose is to bring smiles and a quiet remembrance down memory lane. A photographers ability to see and feel is the foundation of being a top wedding portrait photographer and is a trait that is worthy of trust and commitment. North Queensland is filled with technically challenging conditions – a Cairns photographers challenge is to utilise this lighting, colours, patterns and landscapes to create a timeless piece. Stella Studios achieves this.
A great wedding photographers sole intention should be to provide a service that goes beyond any boundary. Weddings photography and Portrait photography should have no rules, a photographers position is to capture even the finest of details in a visual impact that will stun the clients, push the limits. Great wedding and portrait photographers create images that are personal, have an affect on the viewer, last a lifetime! Natalie continues to push the boundaries of photography each time she releases the shutter. She believes that her best work will be her next and strives to attain this standard in all areas of her work. She never creates ‘average’.
Natalie completed her Photography degree at James Cook University in 2004, achieving the highest grade point average. To stay competitive and keep her creative edge, Natalie is continually updating her skills and knowledge through forums and seminars around Australia and this is combined with professional equipment, software, and the highest quality materials. Being apart of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography she has to maintain a professional level at all times and attend seminars to keep her affiliation.
Natalie can guarantee that her photography will be exceptional.
Natalie’s camera equipment is of professional standards. She uses three professional bodies – Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 5D Mark II and a 7D, interchangeable lenses that range from 16mm – 300mm both fixed and zoom, filters, professional flash (that can be used off camera and combine with a softbox or honeycomb reflector to create unique lighting in dark or rainy conditions), Tripod, reflectors and professional memory cards. This is mainly for outdoor photography shoots. For indoor, a studio setup that compromises of three 500W lights, softboxes, barndoors, honeycombs, reflectors, backgrounds and props.
For her digital imaging, Natalie has a Macintosh 27inch computer with a graphic pad instead of a mouse. Natalie photographs in a RAW format (which is of professional standard – something important to ask your potential photographer), then uses a combination of Photo Mechanic, Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 to work the images. It is only transferred to a JPEG format at the very end – no digital work is completed after this is done. Natalie’s retouching will amaze you. (working in JPEG format decreases the stability of the image). She also only uses archival DVD’s as ordinary DVD’s start to breakdown after about 4 years. Natalie’s photography equipment is reliable, professional and is able to handle all extremes and demands. Basically, her kit will perform and is like her second skin.
ON a personal note, while establishing her photography career she also started her family. She is engaged to a supportive partner and has two beautiful children aged 5 and 7 which are full of energy. A quote that Natalie uses to describe her little family is ‘look out world here we come’. Natalie combines her love of being a mum with the challenge of being a professional photographer and balances both. In fact, being a mum has improved her photography. It has allowed her to understand, it has created patience and instilled a passion to achieve – if not for herself but for others. She also has a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is constantly by her side when she is at home. Fishing and snowboarding are her sports of choice. The money destroyer of the family is a 22 ft cruise craft reef boat which is taken out as much as it can to chase those wonderful reef fish. A challenge that Natalie most enjoys. They also try and go snowboarding every year, mostly to Japan, Natalie is a very passionate snowboarder and a lover of the Japanese culture and heritage. Prior to having children she was a traveller and has had wonderful adventures all around the world.

Hi all & welcome to my site.
Over the last 8 years I have built a reputation for capturing outstanding commercial, editorial and corporate photography in Cairns and throughout North Queensland. Photographing people and places is my passion... and whether it's capturing company directors in a boardroom, heading out to a remote industrial location or shooting lifestyle images on the Great Barrier Reef, I'm a photographer who's likely shot it.
I think that my versatility as a photographer has come about because of the diverse range of jobs that comes my way, but also through a mix of good planning, organisational and logistical skills. I'm a firm believer in Murphy's Law, and so I make it my business to anticipate the unexpected and plan for every contingency. I also consider that being a good communicator allows me to get to the heart of what a client's looking for and to put the most reluctant of photographic subjects at ease.
Photography is also one of those areas that is evolving every day in terms of equipment, techniques & business. To that end, I'm always looking to improve my photographic skills & experience through industry training. I'm also passionate about helping others get behind the camera and sharing the photographic gems of the region.
Growing up in North Queensland, I didn't have the most traditional of starts in photography. I originally graduated with a mechanical engineering degree... It took around me around the world an instilled in me a professional, but down-to-earth approach to business. The travel also gave me my first introduction to an SLR camera and in interest in photography. After a number of years that interest turned into a full-blown passion, and following photographic training in the UK, I returned to Cairns and started Andrew Watson Photography.
These days I work for a variety of clients ranging from private business, to government agencies, to magazines. I've had my images widely published, including everything from regional tourist brochures, to annual reports and national newspapers. In between work for clients, I'm slowing covering all the other parts of Australia, shooting it's diverse people & places.
I'm available for photographic assignments throughout North Queensland, including Port Douglas, the Atherton Tablelands, Cape York, as well as Australia-wide.
