Places Worth the Detour

A new collection of Toowoomba places with a story worth stopping for.

I’m creating a collection of cafés, boutiques, garden nurseries, bakeries, makers and other independent places around Toowoomba that deserve a little more attention.

I’d love to photograph yours.

Become one of the Founding Five

For the first five places, I’m offering a 45 minute photography session for $295, created specifically for Places Worth the Detour.

You’ll receive:

A relaxed Story Chat

A conversation about your business, the people behind it and the details that make your place what it is. No questionnaire to fill out. We’ll simply talk.

Up to 45 minutes of photography

Natural, editorial photographs of your space, your people, your products, your process and the details visitors might otherwise miss.

A curated gallery

A collection of professionally edited images uploaded to your online gallery within 7-14 days so you can use them across your website, social media and other marketing for your business.

Commercial use included

You can use your photographs for your own business marketing without having to worry about additional image licensing.

A place in the collection

Your business will be considered for inclusion in Places Worth the Detour, including its accompanying editorial story and future themed collections.

What happens next?

If you think your place might belong in the collection, get in touch.

We'll have a quick chat about your business and the project. If it feels like the right fit, we'll arrange your Story Chat and photography session.

You don't need to prepare anything, and there's no complicated shot list.

I'll come with a camera, an open eye, and plenty of curiosity, at a time that works best for the business.

What makes a place worth the detour?

It might be the people. It might be the history. It might be something beautifully made. It might be a space with its own story. Or it might simply be somewhere that makes you think, I'm glad I came here.

There isn't a formula.

I'm looking for places with character, care and a story worth telling.

The Founding Five

I'm beginning with five Toowoomba places.

Five different businesses. Five different stories.

I'll add the first stories here as I photograph them.

A little more than photographs

You can use the photographs for your business marketing.

The stories are part of a bigger idea.

As the collection grows, Places Worth the Detour may become individual features, themed local guides and editorial stories celebrating the people and places that give Toowoomba its character.

Your place may become part of those stories too.

Think your place belongs?

I'd love to hear from you.
