Beauty, refined.

Chantelle Kemkemian is a leading beauty photographer working between Sydney and London, celebrated for her lighting, precision, and refined visual language. A trusted name in skincare and cosmetics photography, she produces visuals that are intentional, elevated, and quietly powerful.

Her photographs are polished and considered. Light is sculpted, gestures are minimal, and every frame is designed to highlight product and skin with clarity and intent. Whether capturing the glow of a serum, the pigment of a lipstick, or the texture of bare skin, Chantelle’s imagery remains editorial, modern, and unmistakably hers.

With a foundation in makeup artistry and beauty illustration, she brings both technical fluency and creative direction to every shoot. She understands how light interacts with skin, how product performs under lens, and how to translate those nuances into visuals that resonate. Her instinct for refinement (down to the smallest detail) defines her approach and sets her apart.

In addition to stills, Chantelle directs motion, creating short-form video content that mirrors the elegance and clarity of her photography. From campaign films to social assets, her motion work carries the same attention to light, texture, and composition, offering brands a cohesive visual language across formats.

She has collaborated with global beauty and skincare brands including Sephora, MAC Cosmetics, Dermalogica, Cetaphil, Jurlique, and Galderma. Her campaigns span digital, print, and OOH, and her work has appeared in Vogue Australia, Cosmopolitan UK, and ELLE. She has photographed talent such as Jessica Mauboy, Caitlin Foord, Hayley Raso, Celeste Barber, and Sophie Monk.
