Hi, I am Tyler Durazza
Before even reaching my teens, while modelling, I fell in love with the camera. It’s been a passion—and a side hustle—my whole life, capturing moments that feel real, full of colour, emotion, and a touch of wonder.
When my son was born, everything shifted. What had once been a side passion became my livelihood—the way I provide for my family—and I get to share that love of creating meaningful, joyful images with others. These days, my family often joins me on sessions, each making the very best assistants. My husband and son help set the scene, tidy the space, and keep little ones engaged, while Maze entertains toddlers with her tricks and helps check the area for wildlife, ensuring a safe and relaxed experience for my clients.
My work lives in the in-between moments—when noses are wiped, little hands reach for comfort, and quiet snuggles unfold. It’s when the camera is forgotten, the posed smile fades, and genuine connection takes its place that the most meaningful images are made.
I hold a Certificate IV in Design, specialising in Photography, graduating with over 15 high distinctions, and have had my work showcased alongside other local artists.

Nearly a decade ago, I was honoured to be a featured artist in a RAW Local Artists exhibition, alongside 40 other local creatives. The work I presented then was a true reflection of who I was at that moment in my life—full of experimentation, curiosity, and personal expression. Since that wonderful experience, both I and my work have evolved. While my style today is different, that early opportunity to share my vision publicly helped shape the photographer I am now, reminding me of the importance of growth, exploration, and staying true to the moments that matter most.
