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 Murtoa

🔬 John Cade

Psychiatrist John Cade was born at Murtoa in 1912. His later research in Melbourne led to the landmark 1949 report on lithium in the treatment of manic illness, a major development in psychiatric practice. That work emerged from observation and experimentation rather than a large modern pharmaceutical program. It opened a path to treatment that subsequently required further research and careful clinical development. His contribution places the small Wimmera town at the beginning of a story with consequences for mental health care around the world.

🪶 James Hill

James Hill farmed at Kewell, between Murtoa and Minyip, while assembling a remarkable natural-history collection. Over more than fifty years from 1875 he collected and prepared birds, reptiles, butterflies and eggs. The collection later came into the care of Murtoa’s Lions Club and museum, with the old water tower providing its unusual exhibition setting. It reflects the collecting practices of its period, which differ from modern wildlife protection rules. Hill’s work left a detailed record of specimens and of one local farmer’s sustained curiosity about the natural world beyond the crop paddock.
