My Story

A father of three amazing kids. I value healthy strong long term relationships, eating healthy, staying fit and working on myself both mentally and physically. I have a passion for helping others get to where they want to go. This was evident in my original career in Education as a teacher then becoming School Principal. I starting with the Open2View family in May of 2014.

With the support of the Open2View team, their systems and processes we have built Open2View servicing Western Victoria it into a thriving business. I love why we do what we do. I love the flexible time and financial freedom that comes with loving why and what we do.

A quote that has resonated with me from our CEO, Chris Bates is, "Focus on outcome not income". I love this for so many reasons. The main reason being that if you offer enough value, that over time you will attract and keep loyal clients that you will work with for a lifetime.

We are always looking to expand. If you know of anyone that would enjoy running their own business through the Open2View Franchise, full training and ongoing support is provided. Please put them in touch with me. For a limited time we are offering an income guarantee of $2000 per week for the first 12 month*

I am after photographers in Warrnambool, Hamilton, Portland, Ararat and Horsham (Western Victoria). You don't need to be based in these towns but must be willing to support one or more of them.

Favourite Camera Lens

Although I have a few lenses to choose from my favourite lens is my 70-200mm. It's sharp and let's me create a story by providing sharp, close up snap shots.

Why Did I Choose This Line of Work?

I wanted a line of work that wasn't a 9-5 job, provided flexibility around when I worked and when I could spend time with my kids. I needed to want to enjoy getting out of bed in the morning. I didn't want a line of work that was always an indoors job but I needed something that offered enough variety of services to keep me challenged and interested. Doesn't sound too complicated right? Well, I've always had an interest in photography and helping others. So far this line of work meets all the criteria I am after. We are always after more photographers and I am always interested in expanding. If you know of anyone who may be interested in this conversation please let me know. Call me on 0418 174 171 (Kane)

Hobbies and Interests

I have quite a few hobbies and interests. These include spending time with the family, Open Water Ocean Swimming, Gym, Scuba Diving, listening to Podcasts, Reading and Gardening. Always up for trying and learning new things.

Some of my happy clients...

Hi Kane, just saying thankyou for the wonderful photos you did of our home.
We appreciated all the time and effort you put in to fine tune the presentation making sure each photo was shown at its best. You even had the photos ready on the same day!
We are confident now when home buyers are looking in our price range and see the photos ours will be of some interest.
Thankyou again Kane.

Very Happy Clients | Carol & Steve Baulch

Thanks for your efforts in taking some brilliant photos of some of our Finished New Homes, the images highlighted the workmanship and attention to detail that we pride ourselves on here at Novara Homes.

I chose the agent who consistently had the best photos. Those photos were coming from Open2View.

Your amazing photos most definately helped in the sale of our property. Our house sold in 2 weeks because of how you presented our home in your photos. You certainly enhanced the warmth of our home and it most definately helped in the sale of our house. Thank you for all you have done Kane.

Hey Kane, I met you at our property in Nth Street Koroit recently, which you were engaged to take photos of. The pics are perfect, and a real credit to you. We will definitely be utilizing your service in times to come again, and thoroughly recommend your work to everyone we know. Cheers Paul Schipper

Paul Schipper

In one of our sales meetings Kane was asked was it worth getting professional photography for houses. He replied with, "How would your client feel if a friend of theirs with a similar property in a similar location sold for more, quicker and they found out they had used professional images and a floor plan?". The choice was simple, professional images through Open2View generate more genuine enquiries.

Local real estate agent

Kane sees himself as part of our marketing brand, not just a photographer. He provides advice on angles, props and even supplies us with a 'Pre Photography' checklist for our clients which means attractively presented properties and less stressed clients!

Local real estate agent

One thing I dreaded about going digital was trying to download images using clunky links through a web page called drop box. Accessing images through the OpenView webpage was quick and easy. Accessible from any device, anywhere. It presents the images and floor plans so well that I use their website to show clients the images of their property.

Local real estate agent

Kane convinced us that commercial property attracted more genuine enquiries through professional photography and a floor plan. He was right. When we were selling our coffee shop he gave us good advice on how the shop should look. He then provided an elevated image clearly showing our location context and labelled the landmarks that generate the foot traffic that drives our sales. The marketing was so effective we sold within 4 weeks. Thank you Open2View. Thank you Kane.

Local business owner

Kane was extremely professional, friendly and able to capture the essence of our property.
The photos he took were live on the site the next working day and I'm sure that his presentation of our house helped with the fast sale which attracted an out of town buyer.

Stuart Wright

Kane did a great job, very professional and friendly. Great results, highly recommend him and his company!

As a new client Kane was keen to WOW us into how he could add value to our service. We were very impressed with the virtual walk through complete with appropriate music. We like the virtual walk throughs.

Kane offers a customer-oriented, friendly and professional service. Kane has an excellent manner, drive and determination and is keen to do all he can to provide the best service to each and every client. He always looks to go the extra mile for his clients; for example, when working with me and my real estate colleagues, Kane provides a prompt and reliable service, is able to adapt to do an excellent job under time restrictions so we can meet our deadlines, and offers great photos that our vendors and ourselves are very grateful for with many extra options. I appreciate Kane's expertise and hope to continue working with him for many years to come.

Hi Kane,

Property at 2/36 Merri Street has now been leased.

Thanks to Kane for being so prompt for getting the photos done in a short time frame. Kane's' photos made a huge impact in getting tenants to inspect the home, which lead to leasing the property. Very happy with the service, and the efforts made.

Feel free to use this - especially from a rental perspective.

Kind Regards,
Steve Aberline

Can I just take this opportunity to highlight what an outstanding job Kane Horwell did in photographing our home in Port Fairy
Kane is a professional in every sense of the word and is clearly passionate about what he does. This is clearly evident in his diligent and meticulous approach.
Kane took the time to explain the process and the quality of his photos far surpassed our expectations.
On behalf of Rhiannon and myself, thank you so much for your amazing photos. We couldn't be happier.

Steve and Rhiannon Cuomo

Have used Kane quite a few tones for our business and he always offers a quick and professional service! Would gladly recommend him to anyone.

Scott Williams

Kane did an amazing job of capturing our home. He was easy to work with and highly professional. What stands out is Kane's attitude to his role - he is not simply a photographer, he is doing everything he can to make sure we sell our house. His eye for detail and decisions about everything from lighting to best angle to what should and should not be in shot were perfect. Kane is a champion!

Derek Guille

Thanks Kane from Open2view for your professional services. Easy to work with and has some fresh ideas. He took some great shots for our website to keep our business heading the right way. Thanks again

Josh Purcell

I was very satisfied with the job Kane did of taking photos of our Motel.
The photos are of an extremely high standard and I am certain they will bring more guests our way. Thanks Kane.

Marian Hatfield

Kane came and put the Drone over our fire damaged farm yesterday. The video he produced is excellent quality. His still images were also very good. He was kind enough to do this to help us with insurance assessment and records. We would highly recommend him.

Bonnie Johnstone

Kane was fantastic, very professional and gave us great advice. He made our house look amazing, the 3D images allowed potential buyers to see the entire layout of our house online.
