About Us – Elite Studio | Pinup Photography

Behind the Camera

“Hi, I’m Andrew Merefield, I’m so glad you’ve stopped by!

With a diploma from the Qld College of Art and almost four decades of photography experience I’ve been running Elite Studio for 24 years.

My photography is inspired by mid-20th-century pinup artists like Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas, as well as the glamorous portraiture of Hollywood’s golden era by icons like George Hurrell and Edward Steichen. I love creating images that portray people in a stylised, almost whimsical light – it’s all about showcasing the unique essence of each individual.

At Elite Studio, it’s all about showcasing your unique personality and creating images that make you feel like the star of your own show. Whether you’re longing for a vintage pinup fantasy or simply want to see yourself in a whole new light, I’m here to make it happen. Let’s create some magic together!
