About Roel Loopers

I was born in The Hague, Holland and lived in Nuremberg, Germany for 13 years, where I worked as a photojournalist for daily newspapers, press agencies and magazines, before migrating to Australia in March 1982.

After a two and a half year year stint in Sydney, where I worked for a year as kitchenhand, cook, waiter, market researcher, before finally as a photographer again, I moved to Perth in September 1984 and established Profile Photography.

My commercial, corporate photo business Profile Photography in Western Australia has been going for 28 years. Only interrupted for 8 months in 1995, when I traveled 58.000 kilometres on my own through Australia by 4WD. If you’d like to see my style of photos, click on my website: www.profilephoto.com.au

I have lived in Fremantle for 18 years,  because I love the sense of community that exists here. People in Fremantle are passionate about the city and all things that matter in life.

My passions are people and social justice. I have great respect for Aboriginal culture. I adore children and women, love cooking, good food and wine, theatre,  reading, writing, music, the Kimberley, especially the Bungles.

I am the President of the Fremantle Society, an organisation that has been looking after Fremantle’s heritage and future for 40 years. I am also a member of the Fremantle Heritage Guides, which sees me on tour guide duty at the historic Round House gaol most Thursdays.

Finding beauty in the ordinary is what life is all about for me!
