Small businesses have been doing it tough. It’s affected all of our favorite shops, from restaurants & boutiques, to local services.

At the same time, there’s been growing support from people choosing local. It’s beautiful to see this in our community, and we need to keep and build this momentum in the months to come.

To celebrate & encourage local spending, we imagined The Bounceback Project 💝.

Baby, Rosebery

I loved the experience from the beginning to the end. It was super important for me that he wanted to know our story, what was so special about us and our relation with Hugo and our connection. Because in the end that's what we wanted to capture. With so many photographers and everything we chose Valent because we felt he could capture that special relationship with our family and baby. The Design Consultation was the most enjoyable part of the process. We ended with with many amazing artworks for our walls and then you know it's really worth it.

Baby, Kingsford

We came for a baby shoot with our 4 month old. It was a really fun experience. We went from Valent first taking us around to the studio and showing us the place. It was very professional and we could see a lot of samples of the kind of photos we could get.

After that we came in to do an actual photo shoot session. On the day we arrived, Valent made us feel really comfortable. Valent had a lot of good ideas, the session actually went a lot faster than we initially thought!

When we came in for the photos, they were really awesome. I think they turned out beyond our expectations to be (...)

I had two maternity photo session with Valent last month, one at my house and one outdoor, both were brilliant! Valent is very attentive and flexible with changing dates etc. he understands our ideas well and was able to present them with his professional skill set. Highly recommended!

Event, UNSW

I appointed Valent to take candid shots of my son during his graduation at UNSW last year. My purpose for doing so is because I would not have had much time to do so myself and wanted a third party's viewpoint. I had emailed Valent from Malaysia prior to my arrival in Sydney and we arranged for Valent to be present on the graduation day itself. His photos were very well captured and I absolutely recommend Valent's services in covering similar events
