media production powerhouse

Since it is inception, Peak Hour Images has been leaping from opportunity to opportunity – leaving a trail of success in its wake!

Lord Murray Schoorman has built a solid reputation as a celebrity photographer and media professional in Melbourne, Australia. He’s been active for over two decades and as the owner of Peak Hour Images, he’s known for delivering real-time, gritty updates on events like crashes and fires, often collaborating with mainstream media, PR firms, and emergency services.

Colleagues and clients praise his ability to produce high-quality, impactful images under pressure. For instance, his coverage of breaking news, like the Louis Vuitton shopfront ram-raid at Melbourne’s Crown Casino in March 2025, shows his knack for being in the right place at the right time for breaking news ENG.

If it’s reliability and hustle, Lord Murray’s track record suggests he’s a go-to guy in Melbourne’s media scene. If you’re judging artistic genius or global fame, he’s more of a local heavyweight than a world-renowned name. His niche is specific; real-time, event-driven high-pressure photography rather than, say, relaxed studio portraiture or avant-garde fine art.

Each year, St Bede’s College, Mentone, invites Lord Murray to present at their annual “Careers Information Night” and share stories of his media industry experiences with students and their parents. From that, Lord Murray then accepts applications from students wanting to complete their work experience at Peak Hour Images.
