DEE GERLACH

BUSINESS NAME: DEeanna gerlach photography
Services: Family portraits, weddings, events, editorial 

The notoriously humble, impossibly funny and ridiculously likeable @dgerl is one of the most talented photographers you are likely to meet. Deanna has captured not only a host of life changing moments through her lens but also worked with some of Australia’s coolest brands, including cult label Pony Rider and influencers They All Hate Us. 

It’s when Deanna reveals that she photographed an infant the day before he was taken off life support, and when you view the breadth of heart-warming shots on her website, that you realise this woman has enormous soul and compassion - no doubt what makes her photography so incredibly compelling and beautiful. She now works with individuals, families and brands on a range of personal shoots, editorial and advertising projects. When not behind the lens, Deanna blisses out with hubby and three kids somewhere - anywhere - near the water. 

“For me, photography is a bit like hunting. Your’e observing, listening, smelling for the moment, going in for the kill. There’s a lot of joy in that.”
