Werribee is home to many talented individuals, but few have made as significant an impact as Imran Abul Kashem in our local business community, the founder of Westend Photography. Since establishing the studio in 2013, Imran has been a driving force in the local photography scene, bringing a unique blend of creativity and professionalism to every project.

Originally from Bangladesh, Imran moved to Australia with a passion for photography and a dream to revolutionise the way brands and individuals communicate through imagery. With over 40 years of combined experience in his team, Imran has built Westend Photography into a renowned studio located in the heart of Werribee City Centre.

Imran’s journey began in the humblest of settings—a garage. Despite the modest beginnings, his dedication, endless cool hats and innovative approach quickly set Westend Photography apart. Today, the studio is known for its high-quality headshots, personal branding, corporate imagery, and event photography.

Imran’s work is characterised by his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, creating powerful visual narratives that elevate brands and personal images alike. His portfolio includes collaborations with over 300 companies and 5,000 individuals, each project reflecting his commitment to excellence.
