About Robbie Merritt
After graduating with a Diploma in Photography in 1977, his professional journey began at TVW7 and the ABC. Four decades on, Influencer Times Magazine recognized him as 'a master of creative innovation and craftsmanship' (May 2023). As a preeminent portrait and celebrity fashion photographer, he was distinguished as the First Official Photographer to World Fashion Week (WFW) Paris in 2013. His groundbreaking 'You Are Beautiful' exhibition showcasing 100 Australian Cancer Survivors generated $200,000 and led to an Australian of the Year nomination in 2014. With a distinguished client portfolio including high-profile individuals and fashion labels worldwide, his influence extends across multiple countries and decades. Now semi-retired in Sydney, he offers elite corporate portrait services from his home studio or on-location. In October 2024, Merritt was bestowed with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his enduring impact on the fashion and arts industries.
