Hi, I'm Madeleine

the face and eye behind Wilder Still Imagery

Self-portrait of Madeleine

I’ve been a visual artist my whole life, drawn to storytelling through colour, framing and light. Picking up a camera felt like a natural extension of who I am and what I see. After earning my Bachelor of Arts, I started my journey as a photographer in Perth, Western Australia. What began as a love for portraits and candid moments has grown into a practice of capturing authenticity, creativity, and community.   


My ethos is simple: real people and real connections. I'm honest and down-to-earth, yet guided by a wild, creative spirit. I want my clients to feel at ease, to play, and to show up as themselves — because that’s when the magic happens.


Wilder Still Imagery is for small businesses, individuals, families, creatives, and communities who care about authenticity, purpose, and positive change. Together, we’ll create photographs that feel alive, tell your story, and connect.
