About GrayNoise Photography

GrayNoise Photography is the studio of Sydney photographer Dan Gray, who set it up in 2003 after an earlier career as a web and multimedia designer. Headshots and editorial portraits are part of the mix, but events make up a large share of his work, for clients ranging from banks and insurers to universities and consultancies. When an event is too big for one person, or bookings overlap, he brings in a small group of photographers he trusts, so a larger crowd still gets consistent coverage. On the party side, GrayNoise covers work Christmas parties, company anniversaries, cocktail functions, product and store launches, red carpet events, awards nights and galas. You can ask for a hands-off candid style, posed social shots of guests and groups, or a blend of the two. Coverage can also take in behind-the-scenes moments, the styling and theming of the room, sponsor branding, and the food and drinks. Lighting is chosen to suit the room, from available light to on-camera or off-camera flash, and the off-camera setup is offered as an extra for media walls and award presentations. Standard events are booked for two to eight hours through the online quote tool, which prices by the number of photographers and hours, and every quote includes editing plus files sized for print and web. If you need images quickly, the quick-turnaround option has edited photos with you by 10am the next day. Most jobs are in Sydney, with interstate travel available for conferences and roadshows. GrayNoise suits companies, agencies and event organisers who want a photographer who can be briefed once and then left to get on with it.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of parties does GrayNoise photograph?

Work Christmas parties, company anniversaries, cocktail functions, product and store launches, red carpet events, awards nights and galas, along with conferences and exhibitions.

How much does GrayNoise charge for event photography?

The online quote calculator starts from $280 per hour plus GST, with a two-hour minimum. More photographers, off-camera flash lighting and next-morning delivery are priced as extras.

How quickly can we get the photos?

The quick-turnaround extra gets edited photos to you by 10am the day after your event, which suits media releases and next-morning social posts. Ask about standard delivery times when you request a quote.

Can GrayNoise cover a large event?

Yes. Dan works with a small network of trusted photographers, so large events can have more than one shooter. The biggest job so far was a six-day conference for 800 people in the United States.

Where does GrayNoise work, and how far ahead should we book?

The studio is in Chippendale and most events are in Sydney, with interstate travel available. Book early for the Christmas party season, and note that postponing with at least 48 hours notice keeps your deposit for the new date.
