FAQs about Top Photo Shoot Locations in Melbourne

Whether you choose a private or public location for your photoshoot, you will need a filming permit from the city, as well as liability insurance and costs for incidentals such as parking. Renting a public location in Melbourne will cost from around $80 up to $250 per hour. Keep in mind that many studios offer packages, so don’t hesitate to ask venue managers about your hire options. Also, the use of certain equipment may change your final fee. Some private locations charge from $350 to as high as $2000 per day depending on the size and standard of the space. (All data from Tagvenue.com)

You will need to apply for a filming permit if your photoshoot falls into certain categories. For example, if your photo shoot involves more than 6 people (including the crew) and requires more than one camera and limited equipment. You also are restricted if your photoshoot will impede traffic or pedestrian access to public areas. For exterior locations, there may be time restrictions during which you will not be able to conduct your photo shoot. For private locations, these restrictions may also apply.

For a maternity photoshoot, it’s great to use outdoor locations, such as parks, gardens, and picturesque beaches! Imagine a maternity photoshoot conducted in the beautiful rays of a sunset amid the waves! You can use easily accessible St Kilda beach for these photos, or take a longer drive to Williamstown Beach, or Half Moon Bay.

Before You Book: Key Things to Plan

Nailing your shoot comes down to smart prep. Here’s what to figure out before choosing your location:

  • Concept – Know the theme. Is it fashion, product, branding, editorial? A solid concept guides gear, props, and your location choice.
  • Lighting – Will you use natural light, or need artificial lighting? Not all studios include lighting equipment, so check in advance.
  • Gear – Make a checklist: lights, tripods, lenses, backdrops. Ask the venue what’s included and what you'll need to bring.
  • Space Needs – Bringing a team? Make sure the venue has enough room for stylists, assistants, and rest areas. Some indoor spaces also offer dedicated changing and makeup rooms.
  • Outdoor Setup – For on-location shoots, see if there’s space to park gear trailers or set up nearby. Break areas are key for longer sessions.

Whether you're into natural light, bold backdrops or blank-canvas studios, you’ll find a space that fits your vision.
