From in-house processes to external partnerships, we are seeing the results of our efforts and are very excited to keep at it!
CLOSE THE LOOP

Containers FOR Change
Our dedicated staff run a collection program for Containers for Change, with all fundraising donated to SecondBite, who rescue quality food from retailers that would otherwise be headed to landfill, and deliver it to people in need.
Re-purposing program
We give our lab printing materials a second life by donating them to schools for use in arts and crafts projects with the hope to inspire creativity and innovation among students, while promoting sustainability and resourcefulness.
CITYSWITCH

Plastic-free packaging
We are very proud of our plasticfree packaging, ensuring the preservation of your precious school memories and doing our bit for the planet at the same time. Our recyclable cardboard folders provide better protection and support for your photos compared to plastic, making them less likely to trap moisture that can damage the images over time, as well as preventing bending or creasing.

Always excellent service and affordable prices from Fotoworks. This is so important when ordering every year of your child’s high school life. Also the quality of photo and clarity of colour is always excellent. They don’t fade over time like other brands. A lifetime memory intact!

This company have exceptional customer service! I had an issue with my daughter’s school photos being misplaced and after a phone call to their amazing customer service team and a quick explanation, they were more than happy to organise some new photos at no extra cost. They were so helpful and made the entire process so easy. My issue was resolved immediately. Highly recommend!

It was one of the best experiences I have had with a company. Staff were friendly and helpful. I know their cost is a little extra but I see that they always strive for the customer and the best photo possible.
Paul Smith
Fotoworks went above and beyond to help me order my children’s school photos after my eldest forgot to hand in his form.
We love receiving our kids’ images each year and the quality is always fantastic! Thank you so much!
Haylee Guiver
The staff here are amazing, I can’t fault their work and how accommodating they are. If anyone has any issues, just give Fotoworks a call, they always answer!
My child was absent on photo day after I paid online in advance so we were going to miss out this year. But when I called them they offered for us to come to their Osborne Park office to take additional photo and it was added to the school photo. Great service.
Dominika Laczkoova
I had a great experience with the Fotoworks team and would highly recommend using them. When I contacted them they were fast responding to my query, they were knowledgeable and friendly to deal with and made the whole experience easy.
Tammie Belfield
When we accidentally lost our children’s school photos it was a pleasure to be able to contact the team and have them found in the archives. The photos were of a superb quality and dispatched to my home in a timely manner. Can’t thank the team enough.

At the beginning of the year my daughter had her high school photos done, which the school had lost, so I contacted Fotoworks and they had no problem sending me another set directly to my home. A very happy customer!

Mukinbudin District High School
Chisholm Catholic College
Hey Fotoworks. I just wanted to let you know how incredible our experience was with Elton today. He came for a promo photo shoot and was honestly the best, most dynamic and fun photographer we’ve had here. Student and staff feedback was absolutely glowing. An incredibly professional guy who has clearly spent a lot of time working with teens. He truly was awesome. Thank you.
Sevenoaks Secondary College
Had a photographer come out to our school for the day for a promotional shoot and I couldn’t speak more highly of him. Was cheerful, worked great with the students and the photos I had a peek at looked amazing. Looking forward to having a whole new photo library to use in school marketing.
