Derek Swalwell Photography
Photographer of architecture, landscapes, lifestyle, food, travel and art work. Shooting since 1999, Derek Swalwell started working with Melbourne architects and designers. His work has since expanded to include international design firms, advertising agencies and many overseas titles. He enjoys working with great people and ideas.
With a career spanning 20 years, Derek Swalwell is one of Australia’s best-known and most respected architectural photographers. Known for capturing some of the world’s most spectacular architecturally designed buildings, Swalwell is fascinated by architecture and the built environment, both in Australia and abroad.
It follows, then, that he would collaborate with a celebrated Australian architecture firm (and long-standing clients) to renovate and update his own home in Melbourne.
