Belle Stewart

Producer Photographer & Media Literacy Educator

Belle Stewart is a media producer, educator and photographer with a three-decade career spanning film, visual arts and creative education advocacy.

Film & Media studies graduate (RMIT University) Belle brings multidisciplinary production experience across creative direction, production design, stills photography and podcast production.

As co-founder of Triple Axel Creative, Belle operates at the intersection of production, media advocacy and talent development. Through structured mentorship, she works directly with emerging creatives, providing ongoing insight into contemporary behaviour, engagement and value-driven storytelling. This proximity to younger creators informs her understanding of shifting patterns, demand for authenticity, intersectional narratives, female-centred perspectives and intergenerational dialogue.

Her ongoing photographic series Bodies of Water explores the poetry of her ancestors in a dream-state female driven narrative that connects generations of women in Belle’s family.

Belle descends from a long lineage of published writers, journalists, Australian film & media industry people - grounding her practice in questions of authorship, cultural responsibility and legacy.

Belle builds and collaborates on projects that are creatively ambitious, socially resonant and strategically positioned within Australia’s evolving screen and media landscape.
