August in Review
The team were kept busy with a great variety of work in August. Poor weather at times complicated our schedules but we still managed to attend some spectacular residential and commercial properties, farm land, early learning facilities and construction projects. Take a look below at some of our recent work including a construction project for Green Range and our property of the month Blumes Historic Bakery. This unique property includes a beautiful residence and retail space with an historic restored Scotch oven, one of only a few remaining in Australia in commercial operation.
We also find out a little bit more about our Office Manager Nick in this month’s staff profile! Nick consistently goes above and beyond in his role co-ordinating our photography schedules and delivering content to our clients each day. He is a highly valued member of the team and much loved by all our clients!
We were kept busy capturing rural acreage and farmland across Victoria in August for a variety of properties, ranging from 200 acres to well over 1000 acres. To highlight all the features of these properties we use drone photography and also ground shots capturing livestock, crops, yards and other improvements.
Green Range - Redcliffe Project
We have been capturing the progress of Green Range’s construction project at Redcliffe City Clay Target Club with photography and video content.
