Alstonville photography
Up on the plateau, the product often starts in the ground. Orchards, native botanicals, cafes and family businesses around Alstonville all have a story about place and provenance, and good photography is the quickest way to tell it.
We’re 15 minutes away in Ballina. For one of Alstonville’s best-known growers we covered the properties from the ground and the air, then built the website the images live on.

From Paddock to Website
Myrtle Co grows organic native botanicals, especially Lemon Myrtle, on Bundjalung country. We ran photo and video shoots across all of its properties, and those images now carry the custom website we designed and built for the company.

Drone Footage
Aerial shots show the scale of a farm in a way ground photos cannot. For Myrtle Co we used drone footage to capture the natural beauty of the land itself, giving the business sweeping visuals to sit alongside its close-up product and property images.
03.
Team Sessions
Customers like to see the people behind a product. Alongside the property work, we photographed Myrtle Co’s team in a corporate session. If you only need individual portraits, see Alstonville headshots.

Products and Packaging
Producers who sell online need clean product images. We’ve shot products with models for Byron Baby Carrier and a series of online marketing images for RustyEx, and jars, bottles and boxes from the plateau deserve the same care.
05.
Homes and Acreage
Plateau properties sell on views and space. We’ve photographed a newly built home on Crane St and a renovated house on Swift Street in Ballina, plus real estate images of the luxury Montanna Retreat day spa in Lennox Head.

Cost of a Plateau Shoot
Expect $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST for a standard session. Drone, video and multi-property days take more time on location and in editing, so we price those from your brief.

Photography guides
Stock photos are the fastest way to make a local business look like every other one. A starter shot list, how to take decent photos on your phone, and when it's worth booking a photographer.

Shoots start from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST, which suits a cafe, a shopfront or a small product range. A day that moves between orchards, sheds and a packing room, or adds aerial footage and video, takes longer to shoot and edit, so we quote it once we have talked through the brief with you.
We captured drone footage over Myrtle Co’s properties as part of a larger photo and video project, and it gave the business a sense of scale that ground shots alone could not. Every site is different, so tell us where the land is and what you want to show, and we’ll talk through what aerial work suits it.
Most growers need two kinds: clean, consistent shots of each jar, pack or bottle for the shop, and lifestyle images that show where it all comes from. Pairing the two is what makes a plateau brand feel genuine. We’ve built websites for Alstonville brands including Koala Tea, so we shoot with the shop pages in mind.
Phone photos are fine for a quick story post. Your website, Google Business Profile and packaging are different: that is where a buyer decides whether you are a serious producer. Professional lighting, composition and retouching make a small family operation look as established as it really is, and the best frames can be reused everywhere.
Yes. Customers like seeing the faces behind a local business, and we ran a corporate team session for Myrtle Co alongside its property shoots. If you only need portraits for a bio or LinkedIn, our Alstonville headshot page covers that, and both can happen on the same visit.
We come to you. Our in-house photographers are 15 minutes away in Ballina, so dropping up to Alstonville to look at a site is easy. Plenty of clients prefer to settle the brief over the phone or a video call, then we meet in person on the day.
That’s how we prefer to work. For Myrtle Co we designed and built the website the images now sit in, so every shot had a place before we pressed the shutter. We also manage social media with content made in-house, which means new photos turn into posts rather than sitting in a folder.
