Art Direction

Developed a photographic language tailored to Bert’s, Merivale’s light-filled bar and brasserie overlooking Pittwater. The visual approach was designed to mirror the venue’s elevated yet relaxed coastal elegance - a refined dining experience infused with natural light, soft textures, and timeless charm.

Visual Concept

The imagery reflects the sophistication of the space through a light, tonal palette, compositional balance, and a sense of openness. Subtle styling choices helped bring forward the grace and detail of Bert’s interiors, reinforcing the venue’s signature blend of nostalgic glamour and contemporary Australian dining.

Output & Integration

This suite of venue photography was used across Merivale’s marketing channels, including website, print, digital, and social platforms - supporting ongoing campaigns and brand storytelling.
