Melbourne photographer with a design background. I shoot corporate events, exhibitions, and conventions with the end-use in mind, because I know how these images actually get used. Let's build your visual archive together.
A design background shapes everything I do. Your event gets photographed with intention, not just a trigger finger. Clean compositions, considered coverage, fast turnaround, and zero ego. Event photography — from $400 for up to 1.5 hours of coverage.
Professional Photographer & Visual Storyteller
I’m David Montana. My background in design gives me a perspective most photographers don’t have. I know what happens to your images after the event.
Marketing teams need clean, consistent shots that fit a brand style. Social media managers crave variety and candid energy. Internal comms want photos that show culture and connection, not just a logo on a podium. I’ve been on the other side, briefing photographers and getting back images that weren’t quite right. So I shoot with all of this front of mind.
The clients I work best with are the ones who see event photography as an investment in how their brand shows up. If you want someone who turns up on time, works quietly in the background, and hands over a gallery you can actually use, we’ll get along well.
I shoot discreetly. No interrupting presentations or distracting during networking. I work with whatever light is available, even in windowless conference rooms. And when you need headshots, I'll make sure they actually look like the person, not a stiff corporate version of them.
I treat product photography on-site with the same care I would in a studio, but while your booth is live and buzzing. Wide shots show your branding in its full context, while crowd shots prove people showed up and engaged. For art exhibitions, I capture the work itself with the respect it deserves, alongside the people who came to see it.
I'll cover your full day. Keynotes, breakouts, and the moments in between where the real energy happens. Those candid interactions during coffee breaks or hallway conversations often tell the best story.
Your full gallery lands in your inbox within 3 business days, colour-corrected and ready to use. No complicated licensing. You own the images. I deliver both carefully curated selects and the complete gallery, so you have options.
