what is photo by twelfth night?

Why Twelfth Night?

Shakespeare fan? Maybe.

The real story? Our boss lady—my daughter, Coco—was born on 12/12. And our beloved black cat, Tofu, adds a little mystery to the mix. So... 12th Black Sesame? December Carbon?

We thought, why not Twelfth Night?


About Us

Founded in 2015 in Perth, Western Australia, Photo by Twelfth Night has grown from a solo passion project into an award-winning photography team, recognized both nationally and internationally. What started with one photographer has now become a team of four, capturing over 70 weddings and 150 events each year.

From the vibrant heart of Perth to the breathtaking landscapes of Margaret River, we specialize in creating images that are timeless, soulful, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s the quiet beauty of a vineyard, the electric energy of a celebration, or the intimate moments of a wedding, we bring artistry and precision to every frame.

At Photo by Twelfth Night, every image tells a story, every portrait is a whispered sonnet beneath the stars. Let us bring your vision to life.

your head photographer


Elvan—the not-too-old man of the team. Father of two. Devoted husband (or, as he says, his wife’s willing slave).


When he’s not doing dishes, cooking, or contemplating the meaning of life, he’s deep in his true passion: Numbers.


Elvan believes everything can be measured, quantified, and refined. He searches for the perfect golden ratio in every artistic expression—balancing candid vs. posed shots, documentary vs. photojournalism, green tones vs. purple tones, high key vs. low key.


Every shoot, to him, is a playground of possibilities. Should you push the boundaries of style? Or master the classics? He’s always testing, always exploring.


Oh, and in case it ever comes up—he enjoys a good drink, too.
