Melbourne Hotel Photography for The Sebel Docklands
It was a pleasure to travel to Melbourne to photograph The Sebel, one of a number of hotel projects I've completed for Accor Hotels. Assisted by Kelly, we spent two full days capturing the property, including six guest rooms, the reception, library, conference facilities, gym, pool area and exterior imagery.
As with all of my hospitality projects, we incorporated lifestyle styling throughout the shoot to create imagery that felt warm, inviting and reflective of the guest experience. With a large shot list and multiple spaces to photograph, careful planning and teamwork were key to ensuring every area was captured at its best. Being trusted to travel interstate for projects like this is always a highlight of my work, and I loved creating a collection of imagery that showcases everything The Sebel Melbourne has to offer.

Brisbane Hotel Photography for Mercure Spring Hill
Mercure Spring Hill was a wonderful project to photograph, with a focus on creating warm, welcoming imagery that reflected the guest experience and showcased the hotel's recent updates. Together with my assistant, Kelly, we styled each space with a lifestyle aesthetic and carefully planned the shoot around the beautiful morning light, which helped bring warmth and depth to the interiors.

One of the guest rooms didn't receive enough natural light to achieve the look we were after, so we introduced professional lighting to complement the existing light and maintain consistency throughout the image collection. The result was a gallery of bright, inviting photographs that captured both the design and atmosphere of the hotel while remaining true to the Mercure brand.
Brisbane Hotel Interior Photography for Mercure Hotels - Spring Hill
Our second shoot for the Brisbane, Spring Hill - Mercure Hotel. This time photographing their newly refurbished rooms, capturing 2 of these incredibly renovated hotel rooms. We were pleased to be able to also lifestyle style these spaces for the shoot. Always an added bit of fun to get to ‘tell the story’ for the shoot.
Our first shoot for this hotel was of their reception/foyer, exterior, pool and conference rooms, you can see this here.

Gold Coast Lifestyle Photography for Kirra Point Holiday Apartments
A pleasure to be asked to stay at Kirra Point Holiday Apartments, and capture my young family enjoying these beautiful apartments, and facilities. My favourite place in the world is Kirra Beach, my local, where I’ve grown up, all my best memories at this beach.
The kids did so great with their modelling once again. The combo of directing your own kids, rather then children you don’t know, I find works really well, or my kids are just quite experienced with this? either way I’ll take on more of these shoots any day.

Branding Photography for Gold Coast Airport Motel
I recently photographed Gold Coast Motel, creating a collection of lifestyle-focused imagery designed to showcase the property's relaxed atmosphere and guest experience. Working alongside my assistant during the four-hour shoot, we carefully styled each space and utilised the beautiful natural light throughout the day to create warm, inviting photographs.

The team at Gold Coast Motel were fantastic to work with—clear in their vision and priorities, while also trusting me to creatively direct the shoot after an initial walkthrough of the property. One interesting challenge was that the new motel signage had not yet been installed, so I incorporated it into the final images during post-production to ensure the finished gallery accurately reflected the completed project.
Sunshine Coast Hotel Photography for Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas
Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas was a fantastic project that saw Mathilde and I create both photography and videography content for the property. Alongside photographing and filming the resort itself, we captured drone footage and lifestyle imagery throughout Noosa to help showcase not only the accommodation, but the destination and guest experience as a whole.
As with all of our hospitality projects, we incorporated thoughtful lifestyle styling throughout the shoot to create warm, inviting imagery that reflected the relaxed luxury of the resort. From the beautifully appointed villas and resort facilities to the surrounding natural beauty of Noosa, our goal was to create a collection of visual content that inspires future guests and captures everything that makes a stay at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas so special.

Sunshine Coast Hotel Shoot for Novotel - Twin Waters
A challenging shoot for me, as I don’t usually work with artificial lights, or this many. Luckily, it wasn’t downlights (the worst kind of light), but I got comfortable in the uncomfortable, and all parties were pleased with the result.
The first shoot I’ve done for Novotel hotels, and more to come! This is Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast.

Canberra Hotel Photography for Accor Hotels of Mantra MacArthur
My regular client Accor Hotels were excited I was going to be in Canberra, and asked if I could capture Mantra MacArthur for them while I was there.
I was thrilled to be able to travel to Canberra for the first time this year, to work with 4 different clients all with in the same week.

Kingscliff Hotel Photography for Peppers Salt Resort and Spa
Peppers Salt Resort & Spa was a special project to work on, being one of the closest Accor properties to home. Located in beautiful Kingscliff, this shoot focused on creating a fresh collection of imagery that showcased the resort's relaxed coastal atmosphere, spacious accommodation and resort facilities.
Working with my assistant, Mathilde, we incorporated lifestyle styling throughout the shoot and carefully utilised the natural light to create warm, inviting photographs that reflected the guest experience. From the guest rooms and pools to the lush grounds and shared spaces, our goal was to capture the essence of a stay at Peppers Salt—relaxed, welcoming and quintessentially coastal. It's always a pleasure working with the Accor team, and even more rewarding when the project is right here on my doorstep.

Magnetic Island Hotel Photography for Peppers Blue on Blue
Travelling to Magnetic Island to photograph Peppers Blue on Blue was one of the highlights of the year. Joined by Mathilde, we captured both photography and videography for the property, creating a complete visual library that showcased not only the hotel itself, but the incredible destination surrounding it.
Alongside styling the interiors and guest spaces, we also captured drone footage and lifestyle content throughout the area to help tell the broader story of the guest experience. From the marina views and tropical landscapes to the beautifully designed accommodation, our goal was to create imagery and video content that reflected the relaxed island atmosphere and unique appeal of staying at Peppers Blue on Blue. It's always exciting to travel for hospitality projects, and Magnetic Island certainly did not disappoint.

Gold Coast Hotel Photography for Accor Hotels at Peppers Broadbeach
This was a 2 day shoot, with a second shooter/assistant/videographer. I took charge of the photographer while Mathilde stayed focused on the videography. We also had Ashley on styling.
A few kind words from the Accor Hotels team:
“Tanika is always so amazing, creative and always goes above and beyond. Her work creates a story and brings emotion to our products. She aligns all her work with our brand concepts and vision and strengthens our marketing strategies with such beautiful images.” - Ashley Gill and team, Accor Hotels
Hotel Photography at Ibis Styles in Brisbane
This was complete in a 3 hour shoot, I delivered 9 photos edited in complete (as per the brief). Working with lovely afternoon natural sunlight, and styling involving moving furniture for the ideal shot, as well as all the smaller details.
A few kinds words from the client:
“Tanika was fantastic to work with, very fast turnaround and highly responsive!
We love the photos and can’t wait to shoot some more in the future.” - Annabelle, of Ibis Styles Hotels in Brisbane
Sunshine Coast Hotel Photography for Mantra French Quarter by Accor
Mantra French Quarter Hotel Photography for Accor on the Sunshine Coast.
A joy to spend 3 days in Noosa to capture Mantra French Quarters new refurbished rooms. We also did a videography shoot to compliment the photography, which you can see here.
As this is the 12th? (maybe more) hotel I have photographed for Accor, they actually sent me with out any staff from Accor, as I really know how it all works now, and don’t need the extra staff member out of the office. They also allowed me to bring my right hand, and very trusted assistant Mathilde Bouby to do all the videography. First time Mathilde has done an Accor shoot with me and it was magic, we really do make the best team, and the work always shows when a client pays the additional costs for me to bring Mathilde.
Byron Bay Hotel Photography - Hotel Marvell
This was a stay gifted in exchange for photos, that I reached out for, as I was in need of accomodation for the weekend. My sister and I loved the chance to have a play around styling the space with pops of colour as per the brief, creating lifestyle moments.
A few kinds words from the client:
“I recently had Tanika in to shoot Hotel Marvell and she absolutely nailed it. I barely needed to give any direction — she just instinctively understood the space and captured it beautifully. Professional, talented, and creatively independent, she delivered imagery that felt polished, warm, and true to the brand. Highly recommend.” - Lucia, Hotel Marvell, Byron Bay
