Bangalow photography
Bangalow’s main street sells beautiful things: homewares, fashion, produce, coffee and long lunches. Most shoppers see those products on Instagram or an online store first, so the photos carry as much weight as the shop window.
We’re about half an hour away in Ballina. Product and food photography is a big part of what we do across the Byron Shire, and we often design the brand or shop the images appear in.
01.
Boutique Products
Small brands need images that feel considered. We created a series of product images for RustyEx, a Byron homewares label selling mostly through Amazon US, alongside the brand we designed for it, so the photos and identity work as one.
02.
Products on People
Some products only make sense in use. Byron Baby Carrier needed its carriers photographed on models, so we worked in a Byron Bay studio space to produce marketing images for the young business.
03.
Restaurant Openings
When Beef & Beach opened in Byron Bay we shot the new venue, the dishes and the lifestyle around it. We also refined the restaurant’s existing branding and extended its website to suit the new location.
04.
Dishes for Social Media
Mumbai Masala in Ballina wanted food photography for its social channels. The images then went into the restaurant’s image library and were used across a range of its other marketing activities.
05.
Styling and Pre-Production
Props, surfaces and the order of shots are worked out before the day. We plan, style and co-ordinate the shoot, then retouch and license the final images for your shop, socials and print. Owner portraits sit under Bangalow headshots.

Pricing for Products and Food
Product and food sessions start from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST. Large ranges or full menus are quoted once we know how many items need photographing and how they will be shown.

Photography guides
A consistent photo style does more for your brand than a new logo. Write it down in five lines, build the shoot around a shot list, and use one set of images everywhere.

Shoots start from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST, which covers a simple setup for a focused range. Larger ranges, styled flat lays or a mix of tabletop and in-store shots take longer, so we quote once we know what you stock and how it will be shown.
Yes, and consistency is the point. Shoppers flick between products quickly, so matching backgrounds, angles and lighting make a small shop feel like a polished brand. We did exactly this for RustyEx, a Byron homewares label selling mainly on Amazon US.
Yes. We shot the venue, dishes and lifestyle when Beef & Beach opened in Byron Bay, and created social media food photography for Mumbai Masala in Ballina. For a Bangalow cafe we’d plan around the dishes that sell best and the light in your room, so it looks like a real lunch, not a catalogue.
We usually shoot on location, so we come to your shop, cafe or workshop. It’s about half an hour from our Ballina base, and your own space adds the character shoppers expect from a Bangalow brand. We’re happy to meet beforehand, though many clients sort the details by phone or video.
Yes. We build shops on Shopify and WooCommerce, so the photography can be shot to fit product pages and collection banners from the start. One team handling both saves a lot of cropping and resizing later. See our online shop service for more.
Most shoppers find a Bangalow boutique on their phone before they walk down the main street. Original photos give your Instagram, Google Business Profile and store one consistent look, and stop you relying on the supplier images every other stockist uses. We can also manage your social media with the shots.
Yes. We’re designers as well as photographers, and we created the logo, business card and advertisement for Bangalow garden designer Green Room. For RustyEx we designed the brand and shot the products together, so colours, styling and packaging all matched. Doing both makes the photos look like they belong to you.
