About
At MWPhoto, images and journalism combine to create inspirational results.
What makes a story work?
Is it the words, the pictures or the overall atmosphere that these images create? It;s all three - and here at MW Photography we can deliver these in an effective package. How can we do this? Because we are small and able to quickly adapt a package to suit your needs. We have already created total packages – articles with associated pictures - for a number of prominent Australian magazines.Interested in art work for your wall or business?
MWPhoto is primarily a photography business, and as such, we have a wide range of interesting images – both conventional and creative – that would suit any wall or business. In conjunction with events such as the South Australian Arts Festival, we have exhibited our work at numerous galleries. Please view our web site for a small sample of what we have to offer.Portraiture more your thing?

Published Books
In late 2009 MWPhoto, under the authorship of Mark Williams, published its first book – "Tales from the Zoo." Combining poetry with art in a way that excites the senses, the book explores the kingdom of nature through image and verse. Commercially available through a variety of international and local bookstores, including Dymocks, it gives the reader an interesting insight into nature and the human 'condition', covering such diverse topics as love, reflection and conflict.
MWPhoto company will be releasing a second book, "Make it Wild", in late 2010. This coffee-table book will contain numerous wildlife images (both traditional and creative tapestry art) from around the world. Please consult our news section for further details.
