Outside the Frame | Episode 4 - Restaurant Photography Capturing Coastal Elegance at Kailis Trigg Beach

This week was a true field adventure—one where all our efforts were dedicated to one client: Kailis Trigg Beach. Instead of juggling multiple shoots, we focused on capturing the essence of this iconic coastal restaurant across three distinct components.

Experience the Unique Vibe of this Iconic Coastal Venue

Part 1: The Hero Image at Dusk

With the sky putting on a fleeting show of colour at dusk, it was all about quality over quantity. We seized that brief, perfect moment to capture a stunning exterior hero shot that truly reflects the venue’s coastal charm.

Part 2: Food Photography

When it comes to photographing food on location, timing is everything. We had to be prepared and move swiftly, ensuring we captured the dishes at their peak. By styling the shots with props and surfaces sourced exclusively from inside the restaurant, we maintained an honest, authentic feel that strengthens the Kailis brand.

Part 3: The Space, The Vibe, The Action

To showcase the full Kailis experience, we crafted a diverse series of images—from wide-angle views to tight, detailed shots. These images not only highlight the restaurant’s vibrant ambience but also tell the dynamic story of life at Kailis Trigg Beach.

Why this Episode Matters

Join us on this visual journey as we capture food, sunsets, lively kitchen action, and inviting interiors—all set against the backdrop of Trigg Beach’s unique coastal allure.

For the full behind-the-scenes experience, where a fresh sea breeze, golden light, and a bustling hospitality space come together in perfect harmony.
