Colleen O’Brien left the corporate world in 2015 to pursue a life driven by beauty and creativity. Drawn to the golden glow of low-angle light, she is inspired by its power to sculpt space and form, which she captures masterfully through her lens. Whether photographing Michelin-starred cuisine, fine vintage jewelry, or impeccably designed interiors, Colleen brings passion and intention to every shoot.

Her introduction to the world of real estate, development, and architecture came through styling interiors for a world-renowned architectural photographer. Since then, she has expanded her creative scope to include prop styling for luxury travel and lifestyle campaigns. This work has taken her across the globe to destinations such as Scandinavia, India, Saudi Arabia, Turks and Caicos, Hawaii, and Bali in addition to her personal travels to Iceland, London, Vancouver Island, and Mexico to name a few.

With over a decade of experience, Colleen has refined her visual voice and honed in on a distinctive editorial and modern aesthetic. This style aligns her with luxury brands and clients such as fine dining restaurants, five-star hotels, and high-end retail. Her work has been featured on the cover of Angeleno Magazine, cover of Travel + Luxury Australia, LA Times, National Geographic Traveller UK, The Washington Post, and Salty Magazine.
