About Alise Black Studios Est. 2003
With a deep passion for quality imagery and a commitment to exceptional customer experiences, Alise Black Photographic Studios was established in 2003. Prior to starting the company, Alise gained extensive experience working for other photography businesses, while undergoing formal photography studies for 4 years. During this time, Alise also climbed the corporate ladder in customer service, resulting in managing a team of 150 staff around Australia. After gaining a solid foundation of formal photographic training and business knowledge, over 20 years ago, Alise took the plunge to create her own company and follow her passion and craft.
Technical training, a dedication to innovate as technologies change, and most importantly, providing clients with an exceptional experience is at the forefront of this studio. Meticulous attention to detail, coupled with unwavering dedication to consistency in customer service, creativity, and professionalism are of the utmost importance.
We specialise in modelling, acting, fitness and performance portfolios, business and personal branding, portraiture, beauty, boudoir and fine art photography for private clientele. We also provide advertising campaigns for household names and start up companies, and offer commercial photoshoots for fashion, product, food and editorial photography.
Our studio continues to change and evolve to be a leader in professional photography. Alise Black provides professional photography and creative services along the east coast of Australia. Our studios were established in Melbourne in 2003, we then opened Sydney in 2016, and since October 2024, we opened our premier studio in Brisbane. Our management team now calls Brisbane home, having migrated from Sydney and Melbourne.
As we progress into the next 10 years of business, we will continue to service clients in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. We also have clients travel from around Australia and Oceania for photoshoots with us. Alise has personally photographed over 14,000 clients from diverse walks of life and has a natural, calming energy to help put our most nervous clients at ease.
As a compliment to our management team, we have a network of highly qualified professional makeup artists, hair stylists and graphic designers. Our creative team all have over 10 years experience in the industry, and are brought in to specific projects as required.

"[Alise Black Photographic Studios] The creative team behind MCVanities, we love them because they made comfortable the eclectic array of people we sent them… They operate in an environment filled with colour and movement where they have taken the daunting concept of sitting for a portrait and turned it into a candid session crammed with energy… They are the sum of their parts, which translated into the stunning collection of images they created… And they live in an ego-free zone that allows us to enjoy the fact that, given the opportunity, we all feel beautiful… Alise Black Studios – here at MCV we salute you. Thanks for making this project so exciting, so interesting and so completely unforgettable.“
