Dopamine lab Australia
For this project, we photographed three luxury infrared saunas for Dopamine Lab Australia, located in Victoria.
This project had a tight deadline, with Dopamine Lab flying us to Melbourne on a Sunday. We started the shoot at 7pm working through the night until 3am, and flew back that same day. The session focused on three different-sized infrared saunas, capturing the LED lighting and including shots of people using the saunas. Our aim was to showcase the saunas’ sleek designs, cutting-edge technology, and premium wellness experience, while enhancing the brand’s appeal to a luxury audience.

Capturing several angles of the two-man sauna was the quickest part of the shoot, as it didn’t feature LED colored lights like the other two saunas. This made it easier to focus on highlighting the sauna’s sleek design and premium build without the added complexity of lighting effects.

The 3-4 person infrared sauna took much longer to photograph, as we needed to capture a variety of angles while showcasing the many LED lights. We had to carefully position the tripod to avoid any movement, ensuring a smooth transition for a slideshow that would highlight the different colour variations. This extra attention to detail was necessary to effectively showcase the sauna’s features and create a seamless, dynamic presentation of the lighting effects.

The 4-5 person infrared sauna was the last to be photographed, with the shoot beginning around 1am. The final shots took a few more hours to complete, as we needed to maintain a steady tripod to capture the LED colours for smooth slideshow transitions. The models were starting to tire, but we pushed through and captured some fantastic shots. Post-production in Photoshop took another 20 hours across all three saunas to perfect the images and achieve the high-quality results we were aiming for.
Slideshow
A slideshow created from photographs is a great way to showcase content on social media. By selecting engaging images, adding music, and using transitions, you can create a visually appealing narrative.
