Megan Cullen

Megan Cullen is an Australian photographer and director from Brisbane. After ten years in Los Angeles she is now based in NYC. Megan graduated with First Class Honours from Griffith University with a Bachelors in Documentary Photography. Within a year of graduating, she was invited to speak at the United Nations about her work on the Peace Art Project Cambodia with legendary UK war photographer, and her mentor, Tim Page. Since then, Megan’s work has been widely exhibited and published internationally. Clients include Vogue, Dazed & Confused, The Guardian, The NYT, Adidas and Calvin Klein to name a few.

Throughout her 20-year career, Cullen has become known for her spontaneous and natural shooting style. She primarily shoots on 35mm film, and brings her experience as a documentarian to her work. Photography has taken Cullen from riding with the Hell’s Angels to following a UFO movement, to shooting fashion editorials in Paris, London, Berlin and NYC, to capturing portraits of artists like Billie Eilish and Amanda Gorman. She is a frequent collaborator with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds capturing both intimate backstage moments and electric performances and most recently she shot and directed a film for the making of their ‘Wild God’ album.

Cullen has directed a slate of music videos and short films. Her most recent short, Miss Underwater, was nominated for Best Craft and Best Cinematography at the St Kilda Film Festival. She is currently writing and developing her first feature.
