B I O G R A P H Y

Lewis Warner is a Melbourne-based photographer specialising in portraiture, commercial, event, and documentary work.

His personal work often explores photographic truths through a surrealist, ambiguous, and often darkly humorous lens. With an affinity for visual theory, and detail-oriented research, Lewis revels in building bodies of work that are realised from the inside - out rather than outside - in.

His work has led him to work with an array of clients in fashion, editorial, events, and music, both as a lead photographer, assistant, and also as creative director/ producer.

Selected clients include; Champion, Sneaker Freaker, Sleeping with Jacques, Shane Warne Legacy, Melbourne Comedy Festival, Mushroom Management, Elektra Records, Target Australia, Sportsgirl, EndemolShine Australia, Melbourne Comedy Festival,

Lewis is available for work in Australia and internationally.
