Mullumbimby photography
Mullum runs on handmade work and personal practice: joiners, makers, therapists, teachers and small studios where the person is the brand. Photos need to show the hands, the materials and the space where the work happens.
We’re a Ballina team, about 45 minutes from Mullumbimby, and we’ve photographed products, interiors and practitioners across the Byron Shire and down the coast.
01.
Handmade Products
Makers need images that show texture and finish. We photographed Byron Baby Carrier‘s products with models in a Byron Bay studio space, and produced a series of online selling images for homewares brand RustyEx.
02.
Workshops and Interiors
A finished room or a busy workshop says more than any description. For Penrose Design, an interior design and build team, we photographed a newly completed project, plus informal portraits of the people behind it.
03.
Practitioners and Therapists
Clients want to know who they’ll be seeing. We photographed Fluid Motion Osteopathy‘s team in their clinic and an osteopath with patients for North Coast Head, Neck & Jaw. Portrait sessions have their own Mullumbimby headshots page.
04.
Retreats and Gatherings
At the Heart Sparks weekend retreat in Byron Bay we created images and headshots for every female business owner taking part, giving each of them a set of photos to use in their own marketing.
05.
Styled to Suit You
We help with concept development and styling, so the shoot reflects your work rather than a generic look. Then we edit and retouch the selects, and image licensing is agreed before we start.

Price Guide
Sessions start at $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST. A day that takes in the workshop, a product range and portraits is quoted on the brief, once we know how much there is to cover.

Photography guides
A before-and-after pair only works if the two photos match. Shooting them on a phone so the only difference is the work comes down to a few habits.

Sessions start at $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST. A day that takes in your workshop, a product range and portraits is quoted on the brief, so you know the full cost before anything is booked.
Yes, if the brief fits the time. We plan the order of shots in advance so the space, the products and the portraits all get covered, and we’ll tell you honestly if it needs a longer session.
Yes, and it is often the strongest image on a maker’s website. Hands, tools, timber and fabric tell buyers about the craft before they read a word. We built the website for Mullumbimby joinery studio Bohemica, which is all about showing craftsmanship, and we’d photograph your process with the same care.
Not if they’re done well. We photographed Fluid Motion Osteopathy’s team in their clinic and an osteopath with patients for North Coast Head, Neck & Jaw, all in a natural, unposed way. People in Mullum want to feel they know you before booking, so warmth beats polish.
It’s about 45 minutes, and a lot of our work is in the Byron Shire, from retreats to restaurant openings. We usually shoot on location, so we come to your studio, clinic or stall, and most of the planning happens by phone or video.
Yes. At the Heart Sparks weekend retreat in Byron Bay we photographed every participant, giving each of them images and headshots for their own marketing. For your workshop we’d capture you teaching, the group taking part and the setting, which helps you fill the next one.
Yes. We build websites, manage social media and set up Google Business Profiles, so your photos land somewhere useful. Many Mullum businesses grow through Instagram and word of mouth, and a site with real images of you and your work helps people who hear your name find and trust you.
