The Picture Desk is the agency of award winning photographer Des Harris.

Having spent many years in Europe and Australia, working in and managing commercial photographic studios, Des has a 35 year background in photojournalism, corporate and architecture photography. His contemporary, quirky style is quick to adapt to the needs of the individual. Des was a Board Member of the ACMP (Australian Commercial and Media Photographers) and for many years an Accredited Photographer with the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography) and the Irish Professional Photographers Association. He is also a current member of the FEP (Federation of European Photographers) and the MEAA (Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance).

In November 2012, Des moved to Paris where he spent 3 years photographing for architecture, real estate and corporate and press clients. He also provided personalised photography training to individuals and small groups. He returned to Sydney late 2015.

 Des believes that the photographic business should be fun as well as challenging and technically perfect. He loves his work and is sure you will too.
