Johann Vincent Photography

We started working with Johann in 2021 for content creation and event coverage and could not have asked for a better fit. Our goal with photography is to elevate our brand without losing a sense of authenticity, and Johann is a master at this. He continually makes an effort to understand our purpose and the nuance behind what we do. This comes across in the final imagery... which also happens to be very cool, organic and high quality. Johann is also a delight to work with, and brings calm, positive energy, and needs little direction. He just gets it.

We highly recommend that anyone in the live music/restaurant industry use Johann Vincent Photography. His work for Upstairs, as well as our sibling venues of Darcy's Pub and The Duke Saloon, has been absolutely incredible.

Johann has taken over as the company photographer for The Duke Saloon as well as our sibling venues: Upstairs Cabaret and Darcy's Pub. His work has been nothing short of exemplary. We could not be happier with the quality of the photography he has continuously provided.

After 12 years of business with periods as one of the most beloved restaurants in the city Stage restaurant had one of the smallest Instagram presences of any restaurant in Victoria. They had a meagre 1100 followers and an engagement of less than 1000 accounts per post. When we started working with Johann Vincent that drastically changed. Within a year we had one of the most active restaurant accounts in the city with over 6000 follows and an engagement of between 2200 & 5500 accounts per post.

Yogi was patient with us as we figured out what we wanted from our posts. He listened to my underdeveloped ramblings and helped me to put together a cohesive image for the restaurant. The mood and visuals that we created together have become a consistent theme reverberating throughout the whole business.

When he shoots, he works well with our team and has the ability to pull the best out of some very stiff models. He works with the props we have, and he times his shoots to get the most from the natural lighting of the restaurant & keeps us involved throughout the editing process. If need be, he will even lend out one of his fancy watches to enrich the shot.

Many photographers have shot this room over the years and as I look through the images Johann’s stand well above the pack.

My wife and I hired Johann Vincent as our wedding photographer and it was the best decision we could've made! Every single photo was better than we ever expected! The photos were simply breathtaking!
He also had the perfect balance of taking direction if we had any ideas or needs, but also taking the initiative directing the wedding party and the guests whenever he saw a great photo opportunity. And at the ceremony and reception he moved all over the place getting tons of great shots from different views and capturing lots of intimate candid moments. I highly recommend hiring Johann Vincent Photography if you ever need an amazing photographer for any event!
