PUBLIC PROFILE

Louise Allen

Local Resident

Northern Rivers · NSW

Lou | ONYX Photography

I photograph people, places, gatherings and the little moments that make something feel like you.

My work is centred around connection and real life rather than overly posed images. I love photographing the atmosphere of a space, the people in it, the details you might otherwise miss and those in between moments that tell the bigger story.

I work with small businesses, creatives, community organisations and local people across the Northern Rivers, Gold Coast and Brisbane photographing:

• Branding and lifestyle sessions
• Retreats, workshops and courses
• Community events and gatherings
• Birthdays, celebrations and private events
• Live music, gigs and performances
• Venue and hospitality events
• Small business and creative projects
• Personal branding and behind the scenes content
• Community organisations and local initiatives
• Lifestyle and at home sessions

I’m particularly drawn to projects that have a sense of place, personality or community behind them. Whether it’s a small workshop in a beautiful space, a local event bringing people together, a musician playing to a crowd or a business wanting photographs that actually feel like the people behind it, I’m there to capture the experience as it unfolds.

I also offer relaxed lifestyle sessions for families and individuals who prefer something natural and comfortable, whether that’s at home, somewhere meaningful or simply doing something you genuinely enjoy together.

Based in the Northern Rivers and always happy to connect with good people doing good things locally.

Distinguished and Famous people from Alpha

Alpha's artistic connections reach from nineteenth-century watercolours to contemporary photography and performance. The town and the surrounding station country appear within the work itself.

🎨 Harriet Jane Neville-Rolfe

British artist Harriet Jane Neville-Rolfe travelled to Australia in 1883 to join family at Alpha Station. Over two years she painted daily life in watercolour, sending pictures back to England. Her subjects included station activities and Aboriginal people, preserving a particular visitor's view of the district during the colonial period. In 1964 her son donated 87 of these works to the Queensland Art Gallery. That collection gives a short stay a much longer life in the historical record.

🎨 Luke Roberts

Born in Alpha in 1952, Luke Roberts has worked across photography, performance, painting and installation. His art examines identity, religion and Australian history, sometimes placing his hometown directly in the frame. In the two-part photographic work The Spearing, one image shows Roberts in Alpha and the other features artist Richard Bell. The State Library of Queensland also holds his archive, including drawings for a local Alpha–Jericho logo: a practical civic commission alongside the more provocative gallery work.
