“As a filmmaker, the most important aspect of my role is the people I’m working with. Making a film is often a really daunting task for the client, but when someone feels settled and relaxed enough to be authentic it is a joy to witness.”

“I love design, but even more than that, I love to connect with my clients and get to know them and all they represent. In that way whatever I produce reflects exactly who they are and what they do. And isn’t that the whole purpose of design after all?”

HISTORY OF ALL IS LIGHT

.

We are born

We started way back in 2003 on October 4th when we had our very first paid job. Dean had been a keen amateur photographer for a couple of years prior to that and was asked to photograph a council event in Mackay, Nth Queensland. He said yes and despite the trepidation (read: abject fear), the event shoot went off without a hitch, and DWPhoto was born. We’ve been doing it ever since.

First Wedding Shoot

Not long after that first gig we continued shooting for commercial businesses and private portraits. In 2005 we were asked by dear friends in Mackay to photograph their wedding. We are forever grateful for the faith and trust they showed in us to cover their important day. Dean has always said, and maintains to this day, if you can shoot a wedding you can shoot anything. It involves people, landscapes, products, food, action, events and all of it under a certain amount of pressure. Most of all though it teaches you how to be with people, how to interact with them and be part of the experience without taking it over or imposing. This set a foundation for everything that was to follow.

Then in late December of 2010, we up and moved from Mackay to Brisbane; just a couple of weeks prior to the big 2011 floods! This was a huge move for us and our business. Up until then, DWPhoto covered weddings, commercial photography, family portraits and pretty much everything in between. Once we relocated to Brisbane, we narrowed our focus from shooting everything under the sun, to focusing on commercial work. This was a shift that felt very purposeful and proved to be an important change for the business.

Times were changing, and the landscape of commercial needs also changed. The explosion of social media and the subsequent change in marketing saw a need to introduce videography to the business. Dean embraced the call and so DWPhoto became DW Photos and Videos!

Name change

In 2015 DWPhoto was growing and was becoming so much more than just Dean Whitling the photographer. With more people and greater scope, the name needed to change to embrace that growth. We needed something to be more inclusive of the team whilst representing the business more accurately. Where we’d grown to and where we were headed. All Is Light was born.  So why the name you ask?
LIGHT IS EVERYTHING!
It’s all about the light. We need it to survive and we need it for warmth. We are even made of the stuff. Of course, with no light, there can be no photographs, videos nor colour for magical designs either. So one level the name relates to the light needed for visual representations, on a deeper level: everything is energy, e=mc2 and All Is Light.
