At Sundara Productions, I create high-quality visual content for outdoor brands, tourism operators, and lifestyle portrait clients who want imagery that feels real, adventurous, and built to connect with their audience — capturing products, places, and people in the real world.
Based on the Gold Coast and working across Australia and worldwide, I specialise in capturing the moments that make people want to explore, experience, and connect.
At Sundara Productions, you work directly with me — Monique — a Gold Coast photographer and videographer managing the entire creative process from planning through to final delivery.
I handle photography, videography, and shoot coordination, including organising on-site talent, models, or makeup artists when needed. This streamlined approach allows brands and tourism operators to create high-quality visual content without the complexity of managing multiple vendors.
The result is authentic, story-driven photography and video that connects with your audience and showcases your brand in real environments.
With years of professional portrait photography experience, I also ensure individuals and couples feel comfy and confident in front of the camera, creating natural, empowering images that reflect who they are.

Hey, I’m Monique — dog-mum, your hype girl, and the heart behind Sundara Productions.
I’m a Gold Coast photographer and videographer specialising in outdoor, adventure, and tourism storytelling. I’m inspired by our big, beautiful world and the brands that encourage people to get outside and explore.
I like to think of my visuals as a reminder to touch some grass, tell someone you love them, and to go on that adventure.
With years of professional portrait photography experience and a lifetime of travelling to unique and wild destinations, I understand how to capture both the beauty of a location and the purpose behind a brand.
From tourism campaigns and adventure content to commercial brand photography and videography, my goal is simple:
Create visuals that inspire connection, curiosity, and action.
I loved shooting with Monique. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is warm and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. She is great with giving direction and whilst very professional, she also made the shoot so much fun. Would highly recommend working with Monique. The images were beautiful and she captured my personality and vibe perfectly!
Monique is a true artist in her work. This is abundantly clear from her vision for each shot: the way she considers the subject, the angles, to the composition and lighting. However where she absolutely shines is her consideration of the feeling and energy behind the moment. She captures and frames this beautifully in each image. I cannot say enough what a wonderful and fulfilling experience it was to shoot with her. Not only is she gifted in her skill, but she is a warm, respectful and kind human being, I felt very comfortable throughout the entire project collaborating with her. There is a joy to working with Monique that is at once both lighthearted and meaningful, she is a rare talent.
Moni is such an attentive and organised photographer. It was my first time doing a bikini photoshoot and she made me feel very comfortable. She made me feel at ease and gave me great tips for posing which in turn gave me confidence. I enjoyed my photoshoot, it was a lot of fun. Not only did she really dedicate her time to make me feel and look amazing in front of the camera, she really brought great energy. She also took photos for my sister’s 21st and was so lovely. Her personality is amazing and she really brings great energy to every shoot. I guarantee that you will feel comfortable around her and would love her work. She has given me some of my best photos and she is a photographer that I highly recommend. I will be shooting with her again definitely. She is the kind of photographer that will go above and beyond to get the results that you are after. She also genuinely cares that you are feeling comfortable and enjoying your time in front of the camera. I am grateful to have met her this year.
"My experience with Teller and Told Photography was absolutely extraordinary. Monique made me feel so nurtured, beautiful and welcomed into her space of creating magic as soon as I met her. Whenever I was stuck for ideas, outfits and poses, she instantly helped, the creativity just pouring out instantly. My photoshoot did not only exceed my expectations, but I believe is one of the reasons that lead to me being scouted by an agency today. The photos were of highest quality, I could tell Monique edited it to perfection, never retouching/editing bodies to look unrealistic, but in fact enhancing what I thought was merely average. We not only got photos, but endless BTS content which was edited creatively and posted in the days after the shoot, Monique always checked with me in advance and tagged me in all these posts which I found extremely thoughtful and respectful! I left my shoot feeling so confident and instantly recommended Teller and Told Photography to all my friends. I will definitely be getting more photos shot by Teller and Told Photography, one of my favourite photographers yet!"
