A process focused on results
Here at Wasamedia, we have two talented in-house photographers/designers who boast years of experience in the hospitality industry. Depending on the type of contract you sign with us, they provide 2 - 4-hour shoots every month. At these shoots, they style shots with props and natural lighting, and then post-shoot, the images are carefully edited to reflect your brand style and mood.
1. Preliminary meeting
We discuss the vibe you want to create for your business – this is important as it helps our designers/photographers to get a feel for your business and the brand image you want to convey.
2. Creation of a mood-board for the shoot
This is a collection of images from our past shoots with other clients, all with a similar look and feel, to give you an idea of the outcome you can expect from the photoshoot.
3. Shot-list
A detailed description of the things to be photographed on the shoot and the styling for each shot.
4. Props
This is dependent on your budget, but generally once we have your approval on the mood-board and shot-list, we hire a selection of props for styling that match the proposed look and feel.
5. Photoshoot
On a specific day, at a time convenient for you, one of our photographers and Account Managers conduct the shoot at your business. This usually goes for around 4 hours, and may require some assistance from you or your employees.
6. Editing
Our photographers and designers edit the photos with customised presets to create a specific vibe for your brand.
We have fun along the way
Quality photography is one of the best ways to build brand recognition and effectively convey what your business is, and what it offers. It’s a form of visual story-telling, and helps you to spike customer interest without saying a word!

Creating a strong online & digital footprint for The Pantry Manly
Located at the water’s edge of the iconic Manly Beach, The Pantry Manly is a popular restaurant for locals and tourists alike. Upon new ownership, they had a minimal online and social media footprint. The restaurant had an incredible location, but needed a complete refresh of their branding to complement their location. Wasamedia overhauled the restaurant’s branding and digital presence. This included a refresh of their logos, menus, website and branding collateral as well as a stylised portfolio of photography and videography for social media. Now, The Pantry Manly has been put back on the map as an iconic Manly attraction and tourist destination.

Generating brand hype and awareness for The Rooftop bar
During this six-month campaign, Wasamedia produced the entire brand look for The Rooftop, drawing from California’s Palm Springs as inspiration to create a bespoke logo, modern menus, and a creative portfolio of photography. A highly successful PR campaign and media launch party worked in unison to position the rooftop bar as the hot-spot for after-work cocktails in summer. The bar was hugely popular, with lines out the door to visit on Fridays and weekends.

Yes! Once we have edited the photos and sent them over to you, you’re free to use those photos however you wish.
100%. Our photographers and designers will provide direction for the look and feel, but ultimately it’s your brand and you have the final say on how you want the photos styled.
We shoot using only natural lighting, so it’s important that we have a well-lit area to take our shots. Depending on the client and the space available, this can mean shooting close to a window, or setting up a designated area outside.
We will send through the shot-list prior to the shoot which details the dishes/products we plan to take photos of. It’s important that the kitchen and the employees of your business are prepared for what needs to be brought out, so that things run smoothly.
