Diana is an Eora/Sydney-based photographer who brings a calm, thoughtful energy to every shoot.

Her passion for photography started at a young age, when she carried around a little film point and shoot, her first “event shoot” being her Year 6 school formal. All throughout high school, she was the one with a digital camera in hand, capturing everyday moments. Some of her earliest live music photos were taken at concerts at UNSW Roundhouse and her first music festival, Soundwave, which sparked a love for fast paced, high energy environments.

Since then, Diana has captured a wide range of events including SXSW Sydney, Mode Festival and Subsonic Music Festival. She was the main photographer for the Rolling Stone Music Awards for 2025, photographing both the red carpet and live performances. She also captures local community events such as Worship Queer Collective and Big Thick Energy. Diana freelances for Destination NSW, showcasing locations and events happening in Sydney.

Diana has gained valuable hands on experience as a photography assistant at a busy photo studio, learning the ins and outs of lighting, composition, and working closely with clients. Diana is outcomes focused and enjoys working closely with her clients, making sure that what is on their mind is shown in her work.

She currently runs her own publication, Grains and Tones, where she captures live music and shares her work with an emphasis on mood, sound, and scene.

Outside of photography, Diana loves travelling and makes it a priority to explore new places at least twice a year. She finds inspiration in learning about different cultures, meeting new people, and experiencing new environments - fueling her creativity and broadening her perspective in both life and work.
