Chillz didn't start as a business. It all started with a borrowed camera from my visual arts subject back in year 9 and 10. My father and I would go to car shows and I would just start pointing and clicking the shutter release, with no great understanding of how a camera works.
‍
Time went on and I would find myself after gym walking out into the parking lot and seeing cars in the underground car park and on my phone would take some shots. I decided to start my Instagram up and put these photos with some basic edits up on for people to see. Picked up a brand new Canon 200D and a bunch of second hand lenses and started organising shoots with people who would come into my Supercheap Auto store that I was working at during that time.

As years went on, my photography started improving to the point where now I have had the opportunity to do some amazing shoots and know what it takes to create amazing photography.
‍
Then came the name. I couldn't find one that truly stuck until I stumbled across a filmmaker by the name of Joshua Simpson, aka Dated. His editing, his music, his vibe. It hit me. I remember watching his work and getting actual goosebumps.

This is where Chillz was born.

It's not about building a brand or growing a following. It's about holding onto that feeling, that quiet rush when you see something that just hits.

And now through every photo and every print, it's about helping others feel it too.
