Ethan Wright
Film photographer. Campaign, lookbook, portrait and editorial work, made in and around Byron Bay.
Everything here was shot on film, and most of it within an hour of wherever I was parked that week.
I grew up on the Victorian coast photographing beaches and forest until I could do it properly, then moved north to make a living at it. These days it's campaign and lookbook work for clothing labels, portrait sessions by appointment, and whatever the light is doing when I'm not booked.
Campaign and lookbook
Labels, from national names through to independents launching their first run. Location work, mostly within an hour of home. Every job comes back as two edits: the frames that carry the feeling, and clean detail shots of fabric, hardware and fit.
Linen, at the tide line
Troop carrier
Red, at the lake
Suede and fringe, after dark
Portraits
Sessions by appointment. Labels, musicians, locals, and people who want a picture that looks like them. Mostly available light, mostly medium format.
Dining room
Pleasure seeker
Pushed film, on the rocks
Studio
Controlled light, projection, shadow. Where the stranger ideas get tested before they go anywhere near a client brief.
Spiral
Veil
Raffia
Place and personal work
Rolls shot between jobs. Coastal Victoria, the Northern Rivers, and whatever happens to be out the window on the way through.

About
I'm Ethan, thirty, born in southern Victoria. I spent my youth photographing the coast and the country behind it — Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne — learning how beaches and forest behave on film before I knew what I'd do with it.
I moved to the Northern Rivers to make the work pay for itself. Since then I've shot campaigns and lookbooks for roughly ten national labels and more than fifty independents, alongside portrait sessions, editorial commissions and documentary work around the region.
If you're a label, you'll get location frames that carry the feeling plus clean detail shots of fabric, hardware and fit. Both edits, every time. If you're booking a personal session, you'll get an hour or two of my full attention and a set of pictures that look like you rather than like a catalogue.
