Last year in Kakadu, we had the privilege of meeting and working alongside the incredibly talented artist Gerred Nabulwad. Watching one of his pieces come to life over two days was something we won’t forget anytime soon.
We’re now honored to have not one, but two of his artworks proudly displayed on our studio walls.
The Red Lily, featured in the top painting, holds a special memory for us — captured both in his work and as we experienced it in Kakadu.
Art like this doesn’t just decorate a space — it tells a story, and we’re grateful to be part of it.
From concept to capture, we take care of every detail behind your image library ✨
We handle it all — from talent sourcing and location scouting to shoot scheduling and building out clear shot lists — so nothing gets missed. It’s all about keeping things simple, organised, and on track.
By the time shoot day rolls around, everything’s ready to go. Less stress, smoother flow, and the space to actually enjoy the process while your images come to life exactly how you imagined.
Production — it’s less of this....
and a whole lot more of this.... more organised chaos.
Many, many notes. Too many coffee cups for one desk. A mouse that’s always about to die. And a giant puzzle (aka the brief) slowly coming to life piece by piece.
The truth? We’re specialists in production. And part of working with Lightbulb means you get a dedicated producer who pulls all the pieces together — so you don’t have to.
You bring the brief - we handle the moving parts. And even with, all the moving parts, it all fall into place
“I hate doing this.”�“Let’s just get it over with — I won’t like any of them anyway.”
We hear it all the time at the start of a corporate headshot session
And without fail? People leave saying,�“That wasn’t as bad as I expected… actually, it was quite fun!”�“You’ve made me look so good!”
Here’s the secret - The camera doesn’t lie — that is what you look like. Our job is to make you feel comfortable, relaxed and confident so we can capture you at your best.
And it doesn’t take 20 awkward minutes.�It takes about 3.
We’re fully pre-set before you arrive.�You step onto set.�We put some tunes on.�We guide you through it.�Done.
Easy, efficient… and maybe even enjoyable.
So don’t stress about your next headshot — we’ve got you.
When you’re given a specific brief and need to bring a vision to life — no problem in our studio.
For this shoot, we built three completely different sets in a single day, all under one roof. From concept to construction, it’s always rewarding to see the space transformed and used exactly as we imagined.
There’s nothing better than watching a creative brief come to life in real time.
We love seeing the studio busy and in full flight!
Our studio has been designed to be used in many different ways, with multiple shoot spaces to suit every brief. From corporate portraits to Government image libraries, room sets and product photography — we can shoot it all in studio.
Located in Fyshwick, our space offers disabled access, easy on-street parking, plus full kitchen and bathroom facilities — making it comfortable and practical for clients, talent and crew alike.
Some shoots stay with you long after they wrap.�...This one is right up there.
Late last year we did a 3 day shoot in Kakadu National Park — based between Jabiru, Red Lily and Cooinda — it’s hard to put into words what the experience meant.
The campaign is commercially in confidence, but what we can share is this:�An extraordinary crew (missing one key face), long days, a lot of listening, and even more learning.
We were welcomed generously. We learnt to observe properly and to respect stories that have been here far longer than we have.
Grateful for the people, the conversations behind the scenes, and the reminder of why we do this work in the first place.
More to come when we can share it.
🎾🔥 The Australian Open kicks off this Sunday!
Throwing it back to last year’s shoot with Tennis World—all the high fives, big smiles, and even bigger vibes.
Here’s hoping this AO brings just as much energy between players and coaches ✨👏
Game on.
