Celebrating 2012 International Women’s Day Winner | Commonwealth Bank | ZahrinaPhotography | 10thousandgirl

05.03.12 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS, Events



What a fabulous day in sunny Sydney. I got to shoot, swap, shop and laugh all whilst covering the 2012 Winner of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Women in Focus International Women’s Day winning event – 10thousandgirl Clothes Swap! Who said women can’t multi task?

Today’s event was very important as monies donated and raised went to help women abroad in India who need the money to start their dream of having their own business, this is a great cause. Being of anglo-indian decent myself, I find this angle of helping women who are disadvantaged really inspiring, hence why I decided to photographed this event. It’s particularly important to bring the knowledge of finance into these people’s lives. Finance and the understanding of it, are the building blocks to help people start their dream as an Entrepreneur. I met many inspiring ladies, seen in the video and the stills below, all talented and they’ve impressed me with the hard work gone into growing 10thousandgirl and how they have assisted women in 3rd world countries with their dreams.

Check out the “Official Title” I gave Kate….she’s featured in the video below. I couldn’t help myself she deserves it!

Thanks to Commonwealth Bank of Australia, whom linked me up with 10thousandgirl, this visual treat is brought to you by my dedicated team and myself to celebrate International Women’s Day 2012!…I have a team of 4 women and I really enjoy all our banter and genuine connection.

Thanks to Holly, Zayra, Milly and Boo, you’re ALL and individually my daily inspirational happy tribe…especially on International Women’s Day.

    Ana Kostoska: Zahrina, thank you for so generously photographing this event. What a wonderful celebration of International Women's Day. The photos are beautiful! Ana (03/06/12, 2:04 pm)






Is Natalie Cook, Olympic GOLD Medalist – A FREAKY GENIUS? | Award Winning Photographer Zahrina

26.02.12 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS, Events



What an REMARKABLE week to be nearly finishing off an awe-inspiring month!

I started this week expanding my studio team by hiring a fabulous lady called Zayra. Then launched a secret squirrel project and finally photographing Australian Gold medal Volleyball player,  Natalie Cook. She was freakily outstanding to say the least! I can’t explain the enjoyment I gained from the doses of genuine wisdom topped off by her funny humorous and down to earth personality. She walked into the room, friendly and 110% ready to participate with me like a fresh breeze!…it truly was refreshing to photograph her with freaky genuis Shaune Clarke.

I really love my country and what sports represents to us as a nation. As I’m even writing this, I have a freaky feeling Natalie will do better than well, she will BLITZ the 2012 London Olympics! Listening, photographing and digesting what Natalie Cook had to share at the Freaky Genius event in Brisbane was remarkable. I left deeply changed and thinking how I could apply her thoughts to my little world. So I began to read her book, Go Girl and I can’t wait to finish it.

It’s surprising at what a photographer can learn on a gig! One needs to concentrate more than ever, watch the expressions, listening for the GOLD moments of wisdom and then marry it all up with an X-Factor shot! Over the years, I’ve found this to be challenging and now it’s 2nd nature. This event was special, it’s Shaune Clarke’s first Freaky Genius event and I captured the real moments of pleasure and greatness. The brilliant music made the room feel very special indeed, and then Natalie Cook had a song written for her by the uber talented Katia…I truly enjoyed capturing the emotion and the passion, in fact every minute of all the Freaky Genius’s especially Natalie Cook herself! I even got to jump in and enjoy a shot with Natalie!…as I should!!…hehe

Catch me on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter…Enjoy your week ahead….Zz:))

WOWOWW!! 2012 is going to be a CRAKA! I don’t believe in recessions, in fact I simply can’t get my head around the concept. I believe in having positive mindset and success follows naturally… I’m fairly passionate about photography, my business and the people around me. In 2011, I found I gained a huge amount of insight into how people do business and succeed at it. This really does consume me on many levels and I’m soo happy for their efforts and focus. My crusade on “Digital Branding for Entrepreneurs” has been gaining momentum all of 2o10/2011 and this year you will see some fun and exciting projects I will be involved in.  I’m simply busting at the seams to share this all with you as they all are “rolled out”.

Digital Branding for Entreprenuers RADIO INTERVIEW | The Red Tent Woman + Zahrina Photography

16.12.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS, SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS



As most of my friends and clients know I’m fairly passionate about my photography division called “Digital Branding for Entrepreneurs”. I really enjoy sharing the message to all business owners to ask themselves, are you connecting professionally with your current branding images? This has been incredibly busy and exciting week, photographing the Global Leadership Forum event featuring George Clooney , Martha Stewart and others…Ludwina of Red Tent Woman asked me to feature on her very popular radio show to talk about my passion of Digital Branding. I’m a visual creature and a tad nervous, i’ll admit this, who wouldn’t be!:)) saying this, I really did enjoy the interview process with Ludwina. I had just done an emergency photo shoot at a hospital beforehand.

Photography takes me to places and to people that really do change my perspective on life.

My message to many of my future clients over the holiday break in 2012, is simply to look at your branding images of yourself and ask yourself…”Are you connecting with your clients in a genuine, trusting and authentic manner? If not, book a session with me in my natural light studio and I’ll make you Extraordinary for 2012 and beyond!

THE MAGIC OF GEORGE CLOONEY + MARTHA STEWART | Zahrina Photography.com

14.12.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



This was the week to end all in 2011! I had the best time shooting the Global Leadership Forum in Sydney on Monday. The people who attended were intelligent and professional entrepreneurs and most of these people  I knew which made my job even easier! This was important event on the Sydney Entrepreneurial calendar featured George Clooney and Martha Stewart with Jeff Taylor, Michael Fertik, Russell Simmons and Muhammad Yunus. The media were buzzing around left, right and centre to grab a glimpse of George Clooney. To hear all these speakers present to the audience and put forward their individual messages was simply awe inspiring, particularly, George Clooney as he really does use his Star status to credible use on Not On Our Watch and his Satellite Sentinel Project. Muhammad Yunus was also a stand out for me, he was thought provoking in the way he approached problems and simply solved them with opening up businesses, I really love this! His actions have brought about some of the most changes to the poorest and disadvantaged people by opening up Grameen Bank. Martha Stewart blew me away with her fashion sense, in her 70′s she walked on stage with tight black leggings and heels to die for!  Here are some shots from the day including shots of the famous Kamahl, Kevin Jacobsen, Business Chicks team, some “die-hard fans of George!” and many more to enjoy. Other images I’ve taken will be released by the organisers.  I must say, I am really looking forward to some Christmas rest + recreation!:)

Photographer To the Stars | Award Winning Photographer | Zahrina Photography

29.11.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



After a year of photographing the Richard Branson Event, Tim Ferris, Deborra-Lee Furness to now covering the high profile event featuring George Clooney and Martha Stewart plus 2000 people…it can’t possibly get any better for my camera lens!

Photographing high profile people started my career, with Australian Icons – Famous Australian Men. Then recently this year, Kurek Ashley wrote in his book, “To Zahrina, The Photographer To The Stars, Live Your Dreams”

Coming up to the end of every year, I always reflect on the milestones be it small, medium or large ones…reflecting over a red wine, truly makes me appreciate my family and how they and I mould around each other successfully, so that our “balance” is not too out of kilter in the processes of business achievements….Saying this, 2011 has completely blown my mind in regards to the successes small to large of my family through to work. I admit I work hard, however, I’m ever soo happy making my clients see the difference I can make for them, this is highly addictive!

This week, I was appointed as the “Official Photographer” to cover this event full of successful Entrepreneurs for the Leadership Forum in Sydney. This event will be very dynamic indeed and the buzz is what I’m looking forward to capturing the moments of essence!

Happy for you to leave you comments in the below box…Look forward to seeing you soon! Cheers, Zahrina

23.11.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



My latest shoot includes Entrepreneur, Kathryn who was a dream to shoot and has a dream business!  I fell in love with her awesome personality, so as usually we didn’t stop chatting! Caught up with the business of being in business in Sydney!  LOVE THIS! hehe  Her shirt really made her stand out, in fact “pop” as I like to say alot in my studio with clients and my make-up artist, Julie.  In my natural light studio, I live for my “ZONE”, this is when the “magic” is sizzling and sparking between my subject and myself. It’s a time when I’m completely immersed in my “ZONE” and the images I capture are worth ALL the energy and focus I have for my client. As an Urban Concierge, Kathryn’s business demands she connects with her clients with genuine “trust” and I usually don’t stop our shoot till we both agree we have what it takes to get the message across. I’m so incredibly passionate about Kathryn and her business, I found our shoot fairly easy to do. Her branding will feature some of the hot shots below and I’m so proud to be able to see her grow her business with my X-Factor images and connect with her clients online and offline in a magnetic way…

Who’s the lady with the Adoption message? | Deborra-lee Furness photographed by Award Winning Photographer Zahrina

14.11.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS, Events



Life Behind My Lens – Deborra-lee Furness at  Business Chicks Breakfast + Zahrina Photography

I love the smell of networking in the morning, especially when 1300 female entrepreneurs converge in a flurry of card exchanging and networking for a Business Chicks Breakfast.

With the smell of fresh espresso in the air, I arrived at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre as event photographer for the morning which featured humanitarian & actor Deborra-lee Furness as guest speaker.

Much more than Mrs Hugh Jackman, Deborra-lee is a tireless charity worker and a voice for children world-wide who suffer from the injustices of poverty, abuse or neglect.  I felt extremely privileged to be able to get so close to this awe-inspiring woman and to witness this event from a unique perspective.

Also a passionate advocate for adoption, Deborra-lee shared stories and explained the red tape that prevents children in desperate need of a loving home from finding that comfort.  As a mother myself, this seemingly needless bureaucracy meant that there were many tears shed from behind the lens as also around the room.

The beauty of photography is its ability to capture the emotion of a moment.  Those milliseconds and the most subtle facial expressions timelessly captured and telling a story.  As they say, “a picture speaks a thousand words” and for the women in this room the emotion of the morning certainly shone through in my images.

I felt so energised and motivated after hearing Deborra-lee speak and from being surround by so many passionate and dynamic women.  The morning has certainly left a permanent impression in my heart and in my mind.

Please leave your comments below…Thanks a heap!:))

    Leah Page: On behalf of NAAW we would like to thank Zahrina for capturing on film these beautiful images during the recent Sydney Business Chicks event. NAAW is all about awareness and we hope that through these images the message delivered by Deborra-lee Furness, to those who attended, continues to gain momentum in the wider community. Warmest wishes Leah Page - Adoptee Director, National Adoption Awareness Week (11/15/11, 12:07 pm)

    Jan Stewart: I just wanted to say your photos are great but the subject some what concerns me. You may not be aware of the emotional trauma that is permenantly linked with adoption and the effect it will have on mothers and adoptee's for all of their lives. For those of us who have been used as a product to satisfy the demands of the infertile it is an ongoing battle to educate people. Ask the adoptees not the adoption industry. Ask the mothers who have had children taken to supply the demands of the infertile. Please have a look at the Australian senate site..... http//senate.aph.gov.au/submissions/comittees/viewdocument.aspx?id=4c7d6303-d65e-4aa2-b484-bbe6449 Ms Furness did not adopt orphans...she purchased her babies in the USA.....the mother of the little boy committed suicide after the adoption was closed by ms Furness. Yet she promotes ..... Thank you for listening to me cheers Jan (11/16/11, 7:57 am)

    Zahrina: Hi Jan, Thank you very much for your comment on my images! I take your compliment to heart as your also a photographer! In regards to Deborra-lee Furness, I'm not an expert in this field, like you or her and can only listen to you:)) Have a nice week, my love. (11/16/11, 4:00 pm)

    Jelle: Impressive webpage you have here. Your pictures are great too. The way you presented everything here looks perfect. It really says a lot about you as an artist. (11/23/11, 7:42 pm)

STAR STUDDED EVENT with Hugh Jackman’s wife – Deborra-lee Furness + Business Chicks

11.11.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS, Events



My week couldn’t possibly get any better?..I’ve had 4 shoots on this week and the “stand out” for me has been the Business Chicks Breakfast photographing Deborra-lee Furness + 1300 women all at 7am to 9am!

Business Chicks asked me to photograph this event and I certainly loved every moment from meeting and capturing the many switched on Business Chicks to chatting with Deborra-lee Furness. To give you an insight into this great event, I’ve done a HIGH DEFINITION video on some of my images capturing this great event….I did get teary behind my lens, listening to Deborra’s presentation and as a mum, I wish the red tape would just – GO for GOOD! to help the kind, healthy men and women who want to adopt children and are waiting  years to get through red tape to adopt a child…

We certainly NEED to change the way the politicians think and make a difference today like Deborra is doing….I left on such a HIGH and soo incredibly  inspired by Deborra-lee Furness and my  fellow Business Chicks!

WHO’S THE LADY WITH THE ALLURING SMILE? | DIGITAL BRANDING FOR ENTREPRENEURS | Award Winning Photographer

23.10.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



WOW I found an X-Factor smile!…Clarinda, has one of the best smiles I’ve seen in a long time! We both had a brilliant time in my studio recently capturing her X-factor, which wasn’t to hard to capture, I must say! She kept saying” WOW!” when I showed her the images I was capturing of her, so I felt really good I was on track with her expectations. Clarinda is a sensational presenter and dancer. She arrived with heaps of clothes and I really loved the flowing white dress she brought and what you see here in my shots. There are some outfits that I have a sense of “knowing” will work and some clothing I sense immediately won’t work, I simply put this down to trusting my intuition and sense of style. In fact, this works so well in a shoot, that as an experiment I get my client to put on a piece of clothing I’m not 100% sold on and the results are remarkable in the end. My clients see the difference in the the outfit that works and the outfit that doesn’t. It’s truly eye -opening. I really love helping and inspiring my clients to understand the reasons behind what I see in them to enhance their  X-factor.

Your comments are all Welcome in the below area under the images…

I’ve been using it on a couple of my scars and they have gonski!  The images below are of the Mia and her Grandma who is the youngest 80 year old fit looking little lady, I’ve ever set my camera on! The love these two have for each other was ENORMOUS! I couldn’t help my self but celebrate these two beautiful creatures by creating the images for the Organic Oil.  The results will be printed and promoted all over the world…Enjoy the images and the oil, it’s all 100% AUZZIE!

TAPPING INTO THE X-FACTOR Of AN EXPERT! | ZAHRINA PHOTOGRAPHY.COM

14.10.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



Tapping into a personality, Star, family, newborn, Entrepreneur all takes skill, time and and more than anything pure talent. All of which I thrive on, I must say! It’s 2nd nature to me now, I never take  my natural skill as a photographer forgranted, I love sharing it. When it comes to tapping into the X-Factor of an Expert…it’s again a different ball game. Shaune is a great person with energy to burn, sizzle and set on FIRE! So he certainly did this in my studio recently…The energy in the shots portray the real him. I’ve done various posts below and videos of  shoots with him and I’m proud to say, the images will really improve his Visual Branding online and offline. Using the right photographer is key to getting the results you see below. I’ve  placed the special video, within this shoot…ENJOY! xox

WHO’S THE EMERALD LADY? | Award Winning Photographer Zahrina | Sydney Portrait Photographer

14.10.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



“AMAZING!”…was Heather’s first word to me on the phone when she saw her images…her 2nd words were “How did you do these shots…so well?”…my response was…”yipes! I have been shooting for 5 years now and I have my recipe for success and I know what works, and simply what doesn’t at the end of the day! I actually caught your x-factor and it’s priceless!” What a sweetheart Heather is, it’s remarkable how a connected branding image of you will change you world. I believe Heather’s on her way into 2012 on the front foot in business. My clients are the gifted people in my life who bring me joy to further my photography.  Heather booked me for my Visual Branding shoot, which included hair and make-up and a fun one on one shoot with me!…We had a ball, I even did some shots of her as “lifestyle” images for home…I photograph many people and there are some special standouts, Heather is one of these people for me. Please “ENJOY” the shots as much as she has and will. xox

CHECK OUT THE BABY+PARENTING EXPERT WITH THE PINK HAIR? SYDNEY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | ZAHRINA PHOTOGRAPHY

09.10.11 - Bellies + Babies, CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



Hey, seriously what can I say, lucky I actually took some photos of Pinky McKay! Pinky and I were in stitches laughing far too hard, we simply have too much in common! I seriously thought we’ll never get any photos taken and we should just sit down and have a cuppa! We finally did settle down and this made for the great connection you see in my images of Pinky. I call this the XFactor which I capture in all my clients. Pinky needed her professional images updated from her existing branding shots,  I’m so glad she visited me for her brilliant make-over. I salute Pinky for the results she gains with the parents of Australia. Being a parent myself,  I deeply resonate with her approach to parenting. And speaking of parenting, umm where does the time fly, my little Taj is now 3 years old!

Please enjoy Pinky McKay’s NEW “Digital Visual Branding”, as you’ll be seeing it alot! Cheers, Zahrina xox

Pls leave your comments below, I love connecting with you here…

WHO’S THE MAVERICK WITH X-FACTOR? | Zahrina Photography | Sydney Award Winning Photographer |

06.10.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS



I had the greatest pleasure of spending 3 days with Shaune Clarke in Sydney, he is the quintessential Maverick Speaker. The intimate setting was transformed into a very creative hub to allow for some awesome ideas to blossom, just my type of place. I swear there were moments of “ah-ha” all over the room. I had so many myself and looking forward to sharing with you soon on my blog here. As you can see Shaune is no shrinking violet at his profession, but a dynamic and gifted person to photograph. Do you think I captured his X-factor?
