About Helen Oswald:
Helen is the owner and operator of Magnetic Shots, an event photography business which she started back in 2013 with her wife Megan, after moving home to Sydney from London.
Using the people and business skills she had learnt in hotels and restaurants, whilst travelling and working overseas, it was time to try her hand at running her own show.
Helen has always loved the visual arts, and it was back in school that she picked up photography to express herself after quickly learning that drawing wasn’t her forte.
Combining her passion for photography and events, she has refined her skills as both a photographer and business owner over the last 10 years. Helen now travels to capture her client’s amazing events all over Australia and so is rarely back at her Hunter Valley home to tend to the veggie garden. She doesn’t do it all alone, Magnetic Shots now with a team spread from Newcastle to Canberra who are equally passionate about event photography.
