Creative Citadel
Sydney
This once Salvation Army Citadel is now reincarnated as a space where ideas can flourish. Creative Citadel.
With carefully considered floor plans, Creative Citadel offers maximum space flexibility for designers, content creators, stills photographers, film makers, and more to work efficiently together. The spaces are also ideal for film and stills shoots, short run art exhibitions, events, workshops, meetings, even health and wellness classes, pop ups or activations.
"We like to think of Creative Citadel as a luxe space. A space that does not feel like an office or a bland white studio. A space that could be someone’s well-appointed home or a boutique city bar or hotel that has been instagrammed way too many times.
When you walk through the arched door you go on a small journey. Traveling from a cool bar reception to an open event space. Stroll a little further and you will find yourself in a shoot space. And if you look closely, you will find hidden edit suites and makeup rooms.
The best thing about the Citadel is that all of the spaces can be whatever you want them to be. Or better yet: the spaces can be whatever you need them to be."

Cameron Karsten
Pacific Northwest
"It's important to stay creative, to actively exercise your own creativity, like a personalised workout program that's just for you. Why? Because if you don't, no one else will — meaning your creativity is only yours and if it is not realised, materialised, then it never will.
Travel, document, customise your own project."
Cameron is represented by The Gren Group.

Ondrej Szollos
Prague - Berlin
"My work is grounded in the belief that a photograph should carry a story. I look for moments that have their own rhythm — whether they’re calm or shot in the middle of chaos. What matters is that they hold a narrative. Sometimes it comes through a person; other times through the environment, which can create tension, atmosphere and meaning on its own.
I observe the relationships between people and place, the subtle nuances that shift a situation, and the moments that reveal a story hidden beneath the surface. Through this work, I’m also learning about the world around me — and slowly understanding the connections and consequences that aren’t visible at first glance.
I try to capture moments with energy, context and a reason to exist. For me, photography isn’t just an image; it’s a way to understand — and a way to share that understanding with others."

Ed Cunicelli
Philadelphia - NYC - Washington DC
"For over 30 years, I’ve been based in the Greater Philadelphia area, working comfortably both on location and in studio settings. Whether it’s a one-on-one portrait or a large-scale production, I bring enthusiasm and experience to every shoot. I love the collaborative nature of commercial and editorial photography and have been fortunate to work with many talented designers, art directors and editors — all of whom have helped shape my craft.
Photography is about visual storytelling. Learning about the person — who they are, what matters to them, their environment — is central to my approach. I see photography as a conversation, both with and about the subject.
I’ve long been drawn to the work of Andrew Wyeth. A childhood book featuring Wind from the Sea left a lasting impression with its muted tones and haunting sense of longing. Photographing the Wyeth family and visiting their studios has been a profound experience.
A long-term project has involved working with Indigenous communities across the North and Southwest — work that has deeply enriched my life. I’m committed, collaborative and focused — and would welcome the chance to work with you."
