The Team · Perth PhotographersThree lenses.
One standard.
PhotosBySaptha is a team of Perth photographers led by Saptha, joined by two of Sri Lanka’s best-known photographers: fashion photographer Arantha Sirimanne and lifestyle photographer and filmmaker U Rasta G. Property, fashion, portraits, couples, concerts and film, booked and delivered through one studio.
One photographer can’t be the best at everything. So we brought together three who are exceptional at their own thing, and put them under one name you can trust.
A twilight Airbnb exterior, a jewellery campaign and a 35mm pre-wedding story each need a different photographer. We match your shoot to the specialist.
Miss World, Fashion Television, Paris and Dubai campaigns, film and TV sets. Now they work as Perth photographers for local brands, couples and businesses.
Every shoot is booked, managed and delivered by PhotosBySaptha, so you get the same care and quality whoever is behind the camera.
Saptha
Real estate, Airbnb, automotive and event photographer
Saptha founded PhotosBySaptha on a simple idea: every click should tell a story. He is the photographer Perth hosts and property owners call when a listing needs to stop the scroll, with HDR interiors, twilight exteriors and images built to win bookings.
Away from property, he shoots Perth’s car culture, from Porsche Club WA meetups to American car shows and the Whiteman Park Motor Museum, plus celebrations, boat parties, family milestones and junior sport, in Perth and interstate.
Every click tells a story.
Arantha Sirimanne
Fashion photographer for Miss World, Fashion Television and campaigns in Colombo, Dubai and Paris
Arantha Sirimanne is one of Sri Lanka’s best-known fashion photographers. Self-taught, he built his name in fashion and beauty before moving into international editorial work. He was the exclusive photographer for Miss Sri Lanka at Miss World in 2011 and 2012, and official photographer for Miss Tourism Sri Lanka International in 2016.
Now shooting in Perth with PhotosBySaptha, Arantha brings that editorial eye to model and actor portfolios, personal branding, executive headshots and fashion, beauty and jewellery campaigns for Perth labels, designers and jewellers.
U Rasta G
“Feelings Through the Lens.” Photographer, cinematographer and concept artist
U Rasta G Bandaragoda is a Sri Lankan photographer, visual storyteller and concept artist. For him, photography isn’t only about capturing what we see; it’s about preserving what we feel. His work blends natural moments, cinematic composition and an artist’s eye, from intimate lifestyle portraits to the energy of a live stage.
He was the official photographer for WAYO, covering productions including Api Kawuruda, Anagathaye, Rock Meets Reggae and Kuweni – First Edition, and led visual and creative direction for Symphony of Sangeeth. In Perth he shoots cinematic portraits, couples and weddings, concerts and events, album art and fine art.
