Annie la Rue Photography bio picture

hi, i'm annie...

Welcome to my blog.... I am a contemporary lifestyle photographer who splits my time between East Coast, Australia and Singapore.  

You can find my website portfolio here ... but this is the place to come if you'd like to see what I've recently been doing, listen to my random ramblings and sometimes see what's going on in my life.

After spending the past four years based in Singapore I have now returned to Canberra, ACT.  I still travel to Singapore every 12 weeks or so as well as servicing Sydney & Rural NSW.  If that doesn't cover you - just ask!  I have been tempted by Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and even Brunei before!

If I had to describe my style I would say; honest and true.  I love to capture the true essence of a moment.  I thrive on capturing honest connections, with the camera but especially with each other, the true honesty that is a family, a friendship,  and love, sometimes warts and all!  

...thanks for stopping by... come often and please feel free to leave a comment!

hega | just because

you know when you meet a person and they just exude joy?!  when their enthusiasm and positivity is instantly contagious?  Hega is just one of those people… which was why it was no surprise when I found out she was a health, business and financial coach…

Hega and her husband have not long moved to Singapore via a few years in Vietnam.  I could instantly see the buzz she gets from helping people get their lives a little more organised, whether it be financially, health or personal development…I wanted to sign up for all three!  you can check out her business here… HS Coaching.

This started out as a corporate session to get some new pics for her business but it we had far too much fun for a corp session so it became a “just because”….  we started out at Hega’s home (that’s Hay-ga for the Australians in the audience) and then jumped in a cab and headed to one of her favourite spots in Singapore which turned out was one of mine too…Kampong Glam & Haji Lane.

We had a ball, we laughed a lot…I thought my jokes must have been on fire that day until near the end of the shoot… I asked if her refined German ear can understand my Australian cold effected drawl an occasional mumble (I confess I mumble, just ask my mother!) …and Hega says…no, I can’t understand thing your saying! … at least a good laugh and positive energy can’t be lost in translation!

I love this shot with the guy in the background standing in the middle of the lane checking his mobile phone, so singapore.

I borrowed a chair from the hawker stall next door for these shots, I swear he thought I was going to steal his $2 plastic chair… he was lurking behind the column!

distillery studio | corporate

These guys are hot…and not bad looking either!  I was recently asked to do some corporate shots for my friends who have a hot interior design business, Distillery Studio.  These guys are super talented and have taken the big leap to go out on their own (watch this space these guys are THAT good….)

I love shooting babies but I was jumping out of my skin to shoot big people (or as they say big babies!).  Matt and Paul have a home studio where I shot these, I love the retro tiles, a huge bonus of older retro Singaporean apartments…

(btw. for those of you who don’t know in my former life I was also a corporate interior designer…)

I also got to try out some grungier finishes on these guys, I love the mercury looking b&w and the dirty vanilla….

thanks guys, it has heaps of fun! xA
