I photographed and filmed two Christmas installations for Visual Inspirations: an outdoor build in Rundle Mall and an indoor display at Burnside Village.
The work included the overnight setup and the finished installations, with the crews, equipment and last details all part of the story. It brought together commercial photography and video coverage.
Two installations, from build to finish
The two jobs ran back to back. I covered the crew at work, the scale of each site and the displays once they were ready, with photographs and video across the two locations.
Christmas comes to Rundle Mall
In Rundle Mall, I photographed trucks arriving, trees being moved into position and the red set pieces being assembled. The finished display brought together Christmas trees, a sleigh, a throne and lights, with the shopfronts and wet pavement around it.
The work behind the decorations
The build photos show the pieces arriving, the crew putting them together and the equipment needed to move them. The finished photos show the same spaces ready for Christmas.
Scale and logistics
Images that show the people, access, equipment and coordination behind large commercial installations.
Finished marketing assets
Clean hero images, location context and details that can be used across websites, proposals and social posts.
Photo-video coverage
A practical mix of stills and motion when the job needs both process and finished-result content.
Photography and video through the build
The video followed the crew movement, pieces being placed and the change from worksite to finished display. I photographed the finished installations as well as the overnight work that went into them.
More retail and commercial work
For an installation shoot, let me know the build schedule, access arrangements, stages you want covered and when the finished display will be ready.

Faqs
Frequently asked questions
Yes. For Visual Inspirations, I photographed the overnight work and the finished Christmas displays at two sites. Send me the build schedule and completion time so we can plan both stages.
The photographer has to work within centre access rules and stay clear of forklifts, lifts, moving components and the crew's installation path. At these builds, trucks, unpacking, positioning and lighting were part of the story, but coverage could not interrupt a time-sensitive workplace. Site induction and a clear contact are essential.
The finished display is only part of the job. I also photographed the crew, machinery and assembly for Visual Inspirations, so they had photos of the work that went into it. Let me know which build stages you want covered.
Yes, with travel and access time included in the plan. This job covered an outdoor installation in Rundle Mall and an indoor one at Burnside Village, with different access and lighting at each.
Yes. Tell me which build stages and finished views you need as photos or video. Drone work needs to be checked separately for the location, permissions and conditions; it isn't automatically possible at a shopping centre.
Provide the build schedule, centre contact, induction and access rules, machinery movements, priority construction stages, completed-display deadline and required photo or video uses. Confirm whether a return visit is needed after cleaning or public opening. Any proposed drone work should be raised early so permission and feasibility can be assessed.
