2023 Australian In-Camera Portrait Photographer Of The Year Finalist

Bayside Melbourne's Most Loved Family photographer

Melbourne Photographer

My name is Alan Moyle. It's really nice to meet you!

You have stumbled upon Photobat, I’m a Melbourne Photographer that has been clicking with awesome families, businesses, artists, comedians and anyone who needs a photo since 2000.

For all my life I’ve had a camera in my hand and been having photo adventures with people. In that time I’ve come to realise how important a families story is to capture, I’ve become quite obsessed with it.

I don’t believe in saying “cheese” or “smelly socks” because expression in a portrait should be real, we don’t have time to have fake laughter in our world, so that is why we keep things relaxed and fun making even the most camera nervous person have a good time and love the final artworks.

Warning … I’m kinda an UN-BORING Melbourne Photographer when it comes to Family Portraits. I LOVE getting outdoors with families, having fun, playing with the kids, telling bad fart jokes and capturing REAL GENUINE moments.

No boring poses. No bland studio shots. No phony forced smiles. And ABSOLUTELY NO cheesy awkward family photos.

Just your family, being real, having fun … with me and my camera (but not in that weird stalkery way).

   Alan is a genuine, fun, and one-of-a-kind photographer. It’s not easy working with a stubborn toddler and a dog-adverse-dog as your subject matters but Alan picked the perfect spot and worked magic with the camera. Our hearts beamed when we saw the photos - we will definitely be treasuring them forever. Thank you Alan for capturing our family so beautifully.

   Alan is a very funny man and willing to get dirty to get a great shot. So not only do I have some great photos, I also remember an afternoon of laughs. Happy to highly recommend the whole experience 😀

   Lovely experience having Alan from Photobat photograph my beautiful little toy poodle Suki. Alan loves animals and Suki loves people who love animals, so it was a match made in Dog/Human heaven. Thanks Alan for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

   Our family photo session included climbing a tree, kicking the football, and wrestling on the grass! It was an absolute blast! Alan was fantastic and really knew how to get the best out of the whole family. Our 10 and 13 year old boys really enjoyed the afternoon. We even managed some brilliant photos with perfect poses of our dog.

   Charlie Star and I had an awesome experience during our photo shoot with Alan. He seemed to be able to read my Groodles mind (which isn't easy) and capture some awesome pics. So proud to be part of his book for charity this year, and would highly encourage everyone to keep an eye out for next year's project and jump in to be part of it without hesitation. I know we can all take heaps of picks of our fur babies, but Alan brings out the best in them and takes the photos to the next level. So happy that I have a couple of extra special pics to treasure forever. Thanks Alan and "woof woof" from Charlie Star. :)

   I love working with Allan and his Barkology project. What a great thing to do for dogs of the homeless and I couldn’t wait to get my pups up for a modelling shoot! He’s super fun, professional and kind. I will always use Photobat for any opportunity he is super talented, creative and a great easy person to work with, dogs, humans, anybody!!

   Alan was great to deal with- helpful, communicative and efficient. The whole process was easy and transparent from start to finish.
