Chris Cassar has always had a deep passion for creative photography. The Son of an Artist, he purchased his first SLR camera at age twelve. As a young teenager he would always be found with a camera in his hands. He would spend days and nights in a 1.2 X 1.2 meter pantry converted into a darkroom. Countless hours were spent in that little space processing film, hand enlarging black & white prints, whilst exploring and refining various photographic techniques.

At seventeen, Chris entered the Professional Photography scene as a junior assistant with Val Foreman Photography and Commercial Colour Laboratories. This was one of Australia's leading commercial / industrial / advertising studios at that time. After a working there for 7 years,  he went on to work for several other high profile commercial studios until 1994 when he launched his own freelance creative photography business – Chris Cassar Photography Pty Ltd.

The business was an instant success, winning a number of awards, and securing prestigious contracts from many of Australia’s leading corporations and advertising agencies. Specialising in Corporate, Manufacturing, Mining, Events, Annual Report, legal, Catalogue / Brochure, Construction,  Architectural,  Portrait, Automotive, Editorial & Press Photography on location and in the Studio.

Chris has a wealth of experience and an extensive current and past client list.

Chris is a career Photographer who has spent his entire life working in this creative industry. His style is intuitive and finely evolved. 

He views his professional career as a vocation rather than a job, and is highly motivated and passionate about the creative process. He loves the intellectual challenge of interpreting client’s ideas, and transforming them into  dynamic visual images which convey a powerful story that informs and inspires the viewer.
