About Carla Speight.

Ever since I was young I’ve been fascinated with capturing an image full of memories and the art of great story telling.
I was the girl that always had a camera. Thanks to my mum handing me a disposable camera, to keep me busy during school holidays. I quickly worked out that the device she gave me had the power to capture a moment in time and hold memories that last forever. From the first time I held the developed images in my hand, I was hooked.
Yes I started out with film cameras, learning as much as I could about photography and advancing my skills with the ever  progressing technology. This means I have the ability to work quickly. Timing is everything with film photography, you have to capture that moment without hesistation. This is a skill I have managed to transfer into every aspect of my work.
My passion for capturing moments and memories led me to working in entertainment. I started out photographing a peformance in exchange for a ticket to watch the rest of the show. This gave me the opportunity to build up my portfolio and progress into paid work.
During the early days of my career, I started writing about the shows I watched, and took the opportunity to interview the stars too. I found my love of capturing the moment could also be reproduced in my love of great story telling.
My writing and photography career grew  quickly, I’ve been lucky enough to have the skills that enabled me to work with household names and wonderful independent businesses who have all gone on to recommend me to others within their industries and my work often features in global publications.
The ability to promote my clients by capturing the heart of their story, naturally led me to working in marketing and public relations. I have developed my skills and contacts to work collaboratively, resulting in truly effective marketing and PR strategies for those in the entertainment and business industries. Making sure my clients are seen in the right places by the right people has  helped elevate their presence and achieve their goals.
My dad once told me “do a job that you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” and he was right.
