The Story Behind the Lens – Peter Driessel Photography
‘Where every portrait tells a story and every session feels like a celebration‘
Born to Photograph the World Around Me
I am a relaxed, shorts and t-shirt kind of guy with a big heart for photography and a deep love for scuba diving. I am also a proud dad and a great conversationalist, especially over coffee or while floating in the ocean. What drives me in photography is not just the image itself, but the journey we take to get there. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease from the very start. Your comfort, confidence, and trust are at the centre of everything I do.
Always Searching for the Image
Writing about yourself is never easy, but here goes. If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I believe every person deserves to feel beautiful. That belief, especially in the power and beauty of women, inspired me to create a space where that transformation is not just possible, but expected.
Photographing women in the studio has taught me that something magical happens when someone sees themselves through new eyes.
There is a softness, a strength, a light that comes through. Whether you come solo or bring your best friend, you will walk out not just with images, but with a renewed sense of self.
Think of your shoot as your very own editorial experience. From bridal moments to branding portraits and everything in between, we create the kind of elegance and confidence you usually see in the pages of fashion magazines.
More Than Just Portraits
While my focus is often on female portraiture and boudoir, I also work with families, corporate professionals, athletes, and event organisers. My experience includes years of underwater photography, with work published in international magazines, journals, websites, and newspapers.
What matters most is how you feel during and after the session. Whether it is a power pose in a blazer or a whimsical spin in a tulle gown, I want you to walk away feeling like you have just stepped off a runway.
Because a photograph should be more than a pretty picture, it should be an experience.
Why Choose Peter Driessel Photography
There are plenty of people out there with a camera, and it can be hard to know where to turn. Your best friend might offer, or your cousin might have taken a few shots at a wedding. But when you want something more, something personal, beautiful, and unforgettable, you need someone who gets it.

I am friendly, professional, and completely committed to helping you shine. There is no pressure, ever. It is our responsibility, mine and my team’s (makeup artist), to create work you cannot help but fall in love with.
