Little Black Book
16 August 2026

Truce Production Co. has announced the addition of photographer and motion director John Laurie to its roster of creative talent.

John brings a distinct, observational perspective to Truce, with a portfolio spanning lifestyle, tourism, and food campaigns. His commercial photography work is highly regarded, with notable projects for the South Australian Tourism Commission, Melbourne City Council, Edgell, Crown Casino, and Adina.

Characterised by his ability to capture unscripted, candid moments, John's work is deeply grounded in authenticity. He translates this same naturalistic eye to both his large-scale campaigns and his extensive body of personal work.

Complementing his photography, John has been building his reputation as a director, already boasting a client list that features McDonald's, Nescafé, Ingenia Lifestyle, and Discovery Parks.

Elise Trenorden, EP at Truce, said, “In today’s creative landscape, the photographer who can also direct motion is highly sought-after.

“John’s ability to capture raw, genuine, and lived emotion is exceptional. Beyond his lens, he’s also a wonderful collaborator who brings a unique charm to every set.”

John's signing marks another step in Truce’s commitment to forging its integrated production model, further strengthening the company's ability to offer a streamlined, high-quality creative service to its agency partners and clients.
