WELCOME TO OUR STUDIO
You've perfected the lines. Mastered the light. Balanced form and function with precision. But there's that moment, you know it well, when a beautifully designed space still feels incomplete. Like it's waiting for something.
We create contemporary fine art photography for the professionals who refuse to compromise. For the architects and interior designers who know that the right piece doesn't just fill a wall, it completes the vision, elevates the atmosphere, and gives your clients that visceral "this is it" feeling.
NOT DECORATION. DESTINATION.
Our collection isn't about matching a colour palette. It's about capturing moments, textures, and perspectives that transform spaces into experiences. Each piece is intentionally crafted to complement modern design, clean, sophisticated, and powerful enough to stand as the focal point or subtle enough to enhance the symphony you've already composed. Because your clients don't just want a beautiful room, they want to feel something when they walk into it.
GARY
STEELE
CURATOR & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
With over 30 years as an Art and Creative Director in advertising, I've mastered the art of making images work, not just look good.
Every visual has a job to do, a story to tell,
a space to complete.
Throughout my career, I've collaborated with some of the world's finest photographers and visual storytellers, directing shoots, shaping narratives, and understanding what makes an image truly resonate. It's this experience in recognising exceptional imagery and knowing how it performs in context that I bring to Painted by Light.
At Painted by Light, I curate a collection that includes both my own fine art photography and work from other talented photographers whose vision aligns with our mission.
These aren't just a collection of beautiful images, they're the final layer that transforms a project into a fully realised space. Art that doesn't just hang on the wall, but adds to the story the space is telling.
OUR UNIQUE OFFERING
Sometimes the piece you need doesn't exist yet, so we create it. Share your vision, your space parameters, your aesthetic goals, and we'll develop original photography specifically for your project. This is for the projects that deserve something no one else will ever have.
