I'm Murray van der Veer, a videographer and photographer with 30 years of experience creating compelling content for commercial and environmental storytelling. I've collaborated with leading brands and organisations, delivering work that has appeared on billboards, magazines, TV, and digital platforms, and more recently on national broadcasts and festival cinema screens. My approach combines technical craft with a storyteller's sensibility to capture authentic voices and preserve places, from city hubs to remote landscapes. Beyond shooting and editing, I design and teach courses in portraiture, landscape photography, and Photoshop at institutions like the Australian Centre of Photography and Macquarie University. I also run landscape photography workshops in Kosciuszko National Park and have helped nurture the next generation of photographers through mentoring and program design.
