Growing up between Australia & Belgium, I’ve always had a camera in my hand to document the world as I see it. After completing a film production course during high school and a BA in Fiction and Documentary Film at The Royal Institute of Theatre, Cinema and Sound in Brussels, I decided I wanted to venture onward in the creative industries and see where it would take me. And now, with over 10 years of professional photography and filmmaking experience in Europe, being featured in numerous print and online publications, I’m back in Australia to work with clients all over the globe on sun-soaked projects
Drawing influence from both classic and contemporary cinema, I've created a signature aesthetic of an elevated reality that is both intimate and dynamic with a hint of melancholy.
While I love to work on all types of projects, my main areas of expertise are portrait, lifestyle, fashion, documentary and editorial photography & film.
About Me
“Saën Sunderland’s distinct fashion photography is infused by a gentle romanticism and a unique melancholic charm. Each frame appears almost like a cinematic moment. Soft diffused light, a rich, warm palette, and the humble elements of nature transformed into artistic backdrops lend Sunderland’s images their enchantment. Little wild flowers studding the green grass, mountains of crisp glowing hay, or even the sunset tainted waters elevate the fabrics, textures and colors of the garments that Sunderland features.”
