About me
My journey to becoming a videographer & photographer
I grew up in Darwin, Northern Territory and became hooked on filmmaking when I took a high school video production class in 2006. My folks kindly bought me a camcorder and I started making fun little films with my family and friends, including experimental films, comedy sketches and a video called 'Filmmaking Techniques' which now has over 2 million views on YouTube.
I followed my newfound passion down to South Australia and studied Screen Production at Flinders University. In 2010 I graduated with a Bachelor of Creative Arts and First Class Honours in Cinematography. I wrote my thesis on Japanese horror films and shot my own horror film project on 16mm film. Learning to shoot with an authentic old school 16mm film camera and film stock was an invaluable lesson to learn and an awesome challenge for me as a budding cinematographer.
Following university, I got my first job in the industry as a sports camera operator filming local SANFL matches. During this time I also worked for a handful of video production companies around Adelaide which is where I first got my first taste for wedding videography. I enjoyed being part of such a special occasion and loved that it gave me the opportunity to flex my creativity with the camera. I learnt the intricacies of filming live events, shooting efficiently and being ready for anything.
In 2014 I was offered the role of Video Producer at the Adelaide Football Club. As part of the digital content team I got to travel around with the players and coaching staff, documenting training and game day preparations, creating behind-the-scenes video content for the club's website, social media platforms as well as producing 'The Crow's Show' which broadcast every week on Channel 7. One of the highlights of my time at the Crows was directing a comedy sketch with the players and coaches as part of the Virgin Film Festival called 'Everything is Possible'.

I had been filming weddings in my spare time for years at this point and finally felt ready to give running my own business a go. I registered my business name 'Curtis Brownjohn Films' in 2016 and have been a happy little Wedding Videographer ever since. I have been invited to film over 200 weddings and recently began adding Wedding Photography to my skill set alongside Wedding Videography, which has been hugely rewarding.
After twenty years of living and working in South Australia and Queensland, my wife and I moved back to Darwin to begin a new chapter of our lives in the NT. It's very special being back in place where my creative arts journey began all those years ago. There is so much beauty in every corner of the Northern Territory and I have loved rediscovering all of it on camera.
