About

Photographer / High-end retoucher

Blurred black-and-white self-portrait of Mario Wong

Mario Wong is a Melbourne-based photographer and high-end retoucher working between commercial production and personal photographic practice.

With more than ten years of experience across eCommerce, agency campaigns, product photography, and digital imaging, his commercial work is grounded in controlled lighting, colour, and precise post-production. His personal projects move at a slower pace, exploring solitude, displacement, impermanence, and memory through soft focus, movement, and intuition.
