Colleen O’Brien left the corporate world in 2015 to pursue a life driven by beauty, creativity, and adventure. Drawn to the golden glow of low-angle light, she is inspired by its power to sculpt space, shadow, and form—an essence 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.

With over a decade of experience, Colleen has honed a distinctive aesthetic—editorial, modern, and luxe—that seamlessly blends her talents in photography and styling. Her refined, consistent visual voice resonates across every project she touches.

Her work has been featured on the cover of Angeleno Magazine, Travel + Luxury Australia, National Geographic Traveller UK, The Washington Post, and Salty Magazine.
