Ballina photography
Ballina is where our camera gets the most work. Over more than 10 years we’ve photographed the town’s landmarks, hotels, restaurants, clinics, new homes and community spaces, so we know which corners of town say Ballina at a glance.
Because our team of five also designs websites, brands and print, every Ballina shoot starts with where the images will end up: a booking page, a brochure, a press release or a tourism campaign.
01.
Tourism Image Library
Ballina Council’s tourism team asked us to build the Discover Ballina image library. We sourced and co-ordinated talent, art directed the lifestyle shoots, then produced and retouched the images, which Council and its partners now use across a wide range of marketing.
03.
Hotels, Clubs and Restaurants
We photographed the Ramada Hotel to match the website we designed for it, produced brochure, web and social images for Ballina Golf & Sports Club, and shot food and content for Mumbai Masala‘s social channels.
04.
Property and Real Estate
New builds and renovations need images that sell. We’ve photographed a newly built home on Crane St, a renovated property on Swift Street ahead of sale, and the signage installation at Ballina Coast High School for the contractor’s portfolio.
05.
Clinics and Practitioners
Health businesses need people to look approachable. We photographed Fluid Motion Osteopathy‘s team in action at their clinic, and portraits, patient sessions and short video clips for North Coast Head, Neck & Jaw. Portrait-only bookings sit under Ballina headshot photography.
06.
Planning and Price
We handle concept development, styling, shoot co-ordination, editing and image licensing, so you can simply turn up. A Ballina session is $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST, and bigger days with talent or several locations are priced on the brief.

Yes. Our team of five works from Ballina and our photographers are in-house, so getting to your shop, clinic or venue is a quick drive across town. We’ve been photographing local businesses for more than 10 years, from the Discover Ballina tourism library to the Supa Valu opening.
Our shoots start from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST. That covers most single-location jobs, such as a clinic team or a cafe’s new dishes. Days with talent, several venues or video are priced on the brief, and we’ll tell you honestly if a shorter shoot will do the job.
Yes. We’ve documented workshops, events and exhibitions at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery for a number of years, and those images support its grant applications, campaigns and social media. We aim for the atmosphere and the people as much as the formal moments.
Yes. We shot the newly built home on Crane St for its owner and photographed a renovated Swift Street property ahead of sale. Real estate images depend on light and a tidy, styled space, so we talk through the rooms and the best time of day before we arrive.
Yes. For the Uber Eats Ballina launch we photographed Dory’s Takeaway owner James at the Big Prawn, Shelly Beach and his own shopfront, giving the campaign a proud local face. Let us know your announcement date early so the shoot fits your media plan.
If they are old, dark or mostly customer snaps, yes. When locals search for a cafe, physio or shop in Ballina, the photos on your profile are often seen before your website. A professional set showing the outside, the inside and the team gives people a reason to pick you.
That’s the best way to get value from a shoot. Ballina Golf & Sports Club’s images went into its brochure, website, social media and campaigns. Because we also design websites and print and manage social media, we plan the wide, vertical and detail shots each channel needs.
