Gold Coast Interior Photography for Next Level Cabinets of their Coolangatta Home project
A pleasure to capture this beautiful home, so filled with natural sunlight for Next Level Cabinets. I spent a full day at this location, to make sure of all of the natural sunlight. I also styled the space, bringing with my boxes and boxes of props, as the home owners had only just moved in. Photography a build freshly built is always helpful, but can lack in styling, I am always happy to bring along styling pieces.

Coolangatta Interior Photography for Design Scout Interiors
Another stunning job by the Design Scout Interiors team, this time I much more local job, this one is in Coolangatta, looking over Kirra beach.
We did this over 2 afternoons, rather than one full day, making use of all the natural sunlight this home gets, facing north-west.

Coolangatta Interior and Architecture Photography for Costello Co of Curve Coolangatta
I was thrilled to be asked to photograph Curve Coolangatta. A development by Jackaroo Property, with project marketing by Costello Co.
We did this shoot over 3 days, capturing what we could as each part of the build was complete, so Dominica could get start on marketing, while we waited for more of the build to be completed, to be able to capture it all.
Of course using the natural sunlight wherever possible, we did morning and afternoon shoots to capture it all. And well worth it.
Canberra Interior Design Photography for Studio You
I was so overjoyed to meet Alanna, and photograph her Studio You project. It was such a stunning an original interior design project, and a pleasure to capture.

It was challenging with sunlight, but with a few tricks, we got there in the end.
This was 1 of 4 shoots I did in Canberra in September of 2025. I did a week long work trip to Canberra for the first time in 2025, and was able to bring my young family along, to enjoy being in Canberra together.

BURLEIGH HEADS INTERIOR DESIGN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR KILN DESIGN
Kathryn of Kiln Design is based in Canberra, and this is her second project here on the Gold Coast that she has asked me to photograph for her. She’s been one of those people I meet and instantly felt like i’d down her for years. Such a pleasure to work with, and I’m so glad she fly up again for this shoot, to do the shoot with me.
We meet at the property before sunrise, to go over the shoot plan, and be able to get started as soon as that morning light hit. The focus was on the kitchens and bathrooms, as Kiln Design did all the finishes and fixtures.
Using a variety of natural sunlight and photography lighting of this project, see if you can pick which photographs I have used natural sunlight and which photographs I have used photography lighting for.
Bilinga Interior Photography for an Airbnb by Ranger Property
A beautiful location for Ranger Property’s newest airbnbs, these beauties are side by side in Bilinga, QLD.
I work with such talented creatives, and Tanya from Ranger Property is one of them, she puts her airbnbs together so wonderfully, with so many lovely little touches … it’s up to me to use the iPad and tweak every styling detail for each angle/shot … to really bring her vision and the look and feel of the property to life.
The clients that allow the time to do this, are so thankful for the style tweaked photos.
Having a background in interior design has definitely given me an advantage to understand styling for the interior environment, I’m just generally obsessed with the industry anyway.
Currumbin Interior Photography for Interior Designer, Bligh Ramsey
I was in love as soon as I walked through the doors of this property in April 2024, Sarah had done such a beautiful job of the interiors, a quick 3 hr shoot turned into a 5 hr shoot, as I just couldn’t help myself, there were so many stunning angles.
I would love to see this gorgeous project of Sarah’s published in print, so sending all the good energy out there that I can make that happen for her.
We love showing off this beautiful project. We shared a reel on instagram, head on over there to take a look into what goes into this kind of shoot 😊
Brisbane Interior Photography for Interior Designer, Bhodz Project
Come behind the scenes on another stunning project by Bhodz Project … who knows how to set up photography lighting for this aesthetic?
Problems and solutions in Interior Photography //
Through winter, this property looking over the story bridge in Brisbane, gets no natural sunlight beaming in at all.
The positive of that is we have complete control of the light, and we don’t need to start the shoot at sunrise.
The light was reflecting really blue into the space, so the challenge was to create warmth, trying our best to make it look natural.
A big plus for this kind of photography job is if the project has been fitted with white sheer curtains (if it hasn’t we’ll bring our own to set up for the day) … luckily Bhodi has always got beautiful sheers in his projects.
We set up big folding foam core boards on the balcony as close to the window as we can, to block the blue light, and keep us in control of the lighting. Next we set up just one light, sometimes this also needs a diffuser umbrella on it, to really soften the light, depending on the aesthetic we are trying to achieve for the client. Often the sheer curtains are enough to soften the light, and the umbrella isn’t needed.
Closer to the end of this video you will see a glimpse of our lighting set up.
You could add a flash or another light to brighten the shadows inside, but we like to keep Bhodi’s shoots really soft and moody.
This work is usually done on a very low shutter speed as it is such a low amount of light to be working with. Pro tip, always shoot with a timer, or remote or simply use the iPad to press the shutter, so there’s never any chance of shake from you pressing the trigger on your camera.

Tweed Heads Architecture and Interior Photography for Tiny Home Builder, Coast Modular
Take a look behind the scenes, as I play with lighting and styling props to get the shots just right, on my Instagram @tanikablair_photography
I’ve photographed 2 of Coast Modulars tiny homes so far, and looking forward to the next one (which is a 2 bedroom modular home).
We were able to use natural sunlight on the one of these, the first one was still in the working shed, when we photographed it, hence the need to fake the sunlight. I can’t wait to show off what this exciting new business has been working so hard on .
