Hi, I'm Ange Butler — the eye behind Rolling Stills.
Hi, I’m Ange—a photographer, creative director and storyteller with more than 15 years of experience capturing the people, places and work that shape Australia. Raised between Perth and a hobby farm in Quindanning, I grew up with one foot in the city and the other firmly in the country. That upbringing taught me how to connect with people from all walks of life—and gave me a lasting respect for hard work, regional communities and the stories that often exist beyond the spotlight. I’m equally comfortable in a boardroom, a paddock, behind the scenes of a major event or hundreds of kilometres down a dirt road. I can arrive with a camera, make people feel at ease and quickly recognise the moments that reveal something real. That ability to connect is at the heart of my work. For more than 15 years, I’ve photographed farmers, makers, families, artists, business leaders and national brands. Travelling Australia with my family deepened my understanding of regional life and strengthened my belief that the people who help shape this country deserve to be seen, celebrated and remembered. Today, I bring together photography, creative direction and lived regional experience to help brands tell stories with depth. I don’t just create beautiful images—I look for the character of a place, the purpose behind the work and the human story that gives a campaign meaning. Now based in Western Australia’s South West, I’m also a proud R.M.Williams ambassador, mum to two adventurous girls and wife to mural artist Jacob Butler. Together, we’re building a living record of regional Australia through contemporary photography, public art and storytelling. If you’re looking for polished imagery without losing the grit, warmth and humanity of the people behind your brand, that’s where I do my best work.
From my lens to his wall.
A two-handed practice with my husband, Shakey. I find the face and the moment through the lens; he carries it onto walls — hand-painted murals, larger than life. The same people, twice told: once in silver, once in paint.
