I'm Courtney Cunningham, a portrait, live music & travel photographer based in Australia, serving clients worldwide

I’m a storyteller with a camera in one hand and a pen in the other.

Capturing raw moments, bold personalities and the magic of live music as a Melbourne music photographer and portrait photographer. From backstage gigs to sun-drenched landscapes, I chase the kind of shots that make you feel something. My lens has framed corporate headshots for brands, intimate studio portraits and the electric energy of performers (shoutout to the Australian music photographers crew). When I’m not shooting, I’m crafting words, whether penning travel guides, editing magazines, or ghostwriting for global brands.

Creativity is what guides me. I’ve sold my art at RAW Artists, run my own photography print shop and even dabbled in soap-making (because why not?). I'm grateful that my life looks like a Pinterest board: 24 countries traveled, a stint living in South Korea, and constantly surrounded by baked goods and coffee. When I’m not editing photographs or writing, you’ll find me planning my next adventure, or convincing a stranger to let me take their portrait. Let’s make something unforgettable.
