It was a pleasure to photograph the champions at St Vincent’s Institute. The annual report for SVI this year will feature the key people responsible for making it all work. The team at SVI are on a mission to find cures and treatments for life’s toughest diseases; cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

We wanted to develop a strong portrait for each person allowing their personality to shine through. These weren’t you typical corporate portraits, the individuals are heroic in their missions yet humbled by enormous task they face.
