Although we’re settled into the winter chill, creative teams are already casting their gaze toward the sunny seasons ahead. Moodboards begin to fill with open skies, sea-kissed architecture, and fabrics that catch the breeze. The search for evocative spring summer locations in Australia signals the beginning of a new season of storytelling.

For fashion labels, lifestyle brands, and creative teams, this time of year invites bold direction and fresh narratives. Whether you’re crafting a resortwear campaign, a sun-drenched editorial or effortless lifestyle imagery, the location plays a vital role in shaping the tone. Australia, with its appreciation for summer settings, offers an enviable variety of backdrops that feel both aspirational and accessible.

Here, we explore four of the most compelling location styles offering a unique lens through which to frame your next campaign.

TROPICAL ESCAPES | WILD AND UNFILTERED

mediterranean mood | SCULPTED LIGHT AND STONE

For campaigns that will transport your audience, Mediterranean-style homes bring a sense of grounded sophistication. Australia’s take on coastal European design blends earthy materials like sun-drenched terracotta texture, grand pillars and romantic wrought iron accents, bringing the heart of the Mediterranean to our shores, no flight required.

These locations evoke wanderlust,  ease, and quiet luxury. They’re ideal for resort stories set in the golden hours, where fabric flows through arched hallways and the scene feels lifted from a coastal summer abroad. Discover our expansive portfolio of Mediterranean-infused homes to fit the brief, offering texture, form and a global aesthetic.

WATERFRONT DRAMA | EXPANSIVE AND ELEMENTAL

Few settings offer the cinematic quality of an oceanfront home. Clifftop dwellings, mid-century modern beach houses, and minimalist glass-front properties let the sea become a character in the story. The horizon stretches, light shifts constantly, and there’s a raw energy that elevates even the simplest frame.

Ideal for resortwear or lifestyle campaigns that favour clean lines and elemental styling, these locations deliver both serenity and power. Many feature uninterrupted transitions from interior to exterior, allowing natural light to flood through and anchor your narrative in the Australian summer.

POOLSIDE AESTHETICS | FROM RETRO TO REFINED

The pool has long been a motif of summer: nostalgic, stylish, and endlessly versatile. Whether framed by modernist architecture or lush palms, it instantly sets a tone of leisure and luxury. Vintage motel-style pools channel retro cool, whilst desert-inspired designs capture the essence of Palm Springs with an editorial feel. Then there are the sleek, infinity-edge pools that serve as mirrors to the sky, perfect for minimalist fashion or wellness shoots. Each pool tells its own story, offering subtle cues for styling and art direction.
