Our Team
Picture
Simon Elwell
Director / Photographer
Simon has been a professional camera monkey since 1994 and has photographed over 15000 portrait sessions during his 25 years in portraiture. His experience in the studio is second to none, combining his natural fun style, with his unique ability to relate to people of all ages. He is truly gifted with the most timid of children and and is a master at gaining the confidence of even the most challenging child. Where many photographers may give up, Simon excels.

Simon is continually pulling what's left of his hair out with all the studio’s IT and website development, but spends most of his evenings practising for performances with his African percussion group Kubatana. He teaches African hand drums to a small class of pupils at the Cook Island Society in Newtown

Abdullah Rashid
Photo Technician
Abdullah joined the Inspire team in July of 2018, shortly after moving from Canada.

Having family in the design industry, Abdullah began learning Photoshop, Freehand and Dreamweaver at a very young age, adding photography into the mix while in university. He then lived all across Canada, working at many photography based companies and studios where he honed his editing skills; managing various photo stores gave him in-depth knowledge of camera hardware and lighting to further his creative drive.

An avid fan of nature, Abdullah is always keen for trips out to remote locations for a bit of wildlife, landscape and astrophotography.

​ With a strong background in web and graphic design, communication media and photography, he quickly found a good fit in Inspire Photography where he manages the workflow  photographing as well.
