Burleigh Heads New Build Architectural Photography for Designer, Jim Mullins

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.

Broadbeach Interior Photography for Interior Designer, Design Scout Interiors

Another stunning Interior Design project by the talented Jacinta Platt, of Design Scout Interiors in Broadbeach, QLD.

A very stormy day, creating moody light, made even better by professional photography lighting to create this look. (I’m always prepared for whatever the weather may be on the day of the shoot).

Broadbeach Interior Photography for Interior Designer Bhodz Projects

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.

Burleigh Heads Interior Photography for Interior Designer Kiln Design

I was thrilled to be asked by Katherine, of Kiln Design, to not only photograph this project for her, but also source and provide the styling (Katherine is based in Canberra, and flu up for the shoot day, so it just made more sense for me to do the styling for this one).

The home was empty (and part of it still a construction zone) … but you wouldn’t know would you? … very happy with our efforts, to capture this project before the home owners were moving in.

Another cloudy day for this shoot (which I love, when the view isn’t needed for the client) … we were able to use my professional photography lighting to add more lighting were it was needed (usually outside, aimed through windows, so it looks realistic).

Such a beautiful project in Burleigh Heads. Head over to Kiln Designs website to see more.

Brisbane Interior Photography for Interior Designer Marina Hirst Interiors

Shoot no. 4 for Marina Hirst Interiors, this time photographing their Tennyson interior design project. Another cloudy day (definitely like those best when photographing interiors, where the view isn’t a feature of the project)

Brisbane Interior Photography for Interior Designer Marina Hirst Interiors

The shoot started off on such a high, interior designer, Marina took me out for breakfast before we started which was so lovely. It’s so wonderful when clients become friends. Photographing Marina’s Chelmer project this time round, a little more challenging then the other shoots had been. We were given a much sunnier day, but a home that doesn’t get a whole stack of natural light coming through. This just means the shoot does slow down quite a bit, with the added lighting tasks, to light each shot the right way.
