What do editorial style photographers do, that real estate photographers don’t.
Now I’m not saying all real estate photographs, but the low budget real estate photographers, are generally not going to do the following, and an editorial style photographer will (and I always will):
1/they’ll get to know you ahead of the shoot, and what you are really hopping for out of the final photos of the property.
2/ asses the sunlight direction, write out a shoot plan, with the sunlight being the no. 1 priority … this means capturing the property in it’s best natural sunlight scenes.

When assessing the rooms you need to photograph, it’s important to take note of the lighting conditions. One side of the house may have a warm tone, while the other side may appear colder with a blue tinge. It’s best to avoid capturing the rooms with cool, blue lighting as much as possible. Instead, wait for the natural sunlight to move throughout the day, transforming the ‘blue rooms’ into warm, inviting spaces.
Understanding and adjusting colour temperature can greatly influence the mood and ambiance of your photographs.
It’s all smokes and mirrors baby … don’t have a photogenic bathroom? No worries, I created these different looks around my own home, as much as I try to keep my styling chaos for a shoot in my actual studio, it always spills into other rooms of my home … depending on where the natural light is hitting and what texture from my exisiting furniture I am wanting to use.
These beautiful cosmetic bags are by Pip and Haze, we loved getting to have a little fun and be creative for this colourful brand.

Such a pleasure to capture this oh so very calm space. Skin Forum’s second Gold Coast location in Chirn Park.
A location and branding shoot, to use across their website, google page and social media. (and I have loved seeing how they have used their professional photography in their marketing, really making the most of it).
The brief was: MOODY …. The team wasn’t able to meet me at the location too early for the shoot, but using my various photography lighting tricks and techniques, I was able to bounce natural sunlight into the skin clinics entry foyer, and use only the feature lighting (no the downlights) to create the feel the client was after.

This newly built Burleigh Heads home was captured over two professional architectural photoshoots … including a sunrise session to capture the changing light of the streetside front exterior of this family home. The variety of textured finishes creates beautiful shadows across the facade. This is the 4th project I have photographed for Jim Mullins, always a pleasure to see his work in person.

My gosh have I enjoyed working with Bhodi these past few months … we’ve captured 3 of his stunning interior design projects together. He is just as much of a perfectionist as I am, we are taking our time, styling every little detail to camera … and wow! we are both so happy with the outcome. Very much a collaborative effort.
I’m absolutely honoured to photograph Bhodi’s interior design work, an emerging Gold Coast interior designer with so much talent that is doing stunning work.
The below project is the second one we captured together, it is a Broadbeach apartment. We had another perfect cloudy day for the shoot, defusing the light beautifully, and allowing me to use just one photography light, so we could control the lighting so nicely.
Check out more of Bhodi’s work here.
