Top 10 Photography Trends to Watch for in 2025
As the photography industry continues to innovate, photographers, content creators, and studios are embracing exciting new trends that define how we capture and present visual stories. Whether you're a commercial photographer, portrait photographer, or content creator using a photography studio like Sunshine House Creative Studio, these trends will shape the industry in 2025.
If you're located on the Sunshine Coast, in Brisbane, or anywhere in South East Queensland, now is the perfect time to explore how these developments can elevate your photography or video production work. Let’s dive into the top 10 photography trends to watch this year, showcasing how studios like Sunshine House Creative Studio can be part of the journey.
1. The Popularity of Cycloramas for Versatile Shoots
Cycloramas (also known as infinity walls or cyc walls) are more in demand than ever for creating seamless, clean backdrops that adapt to almost any style of shoot. Perfect for both photography and video production, they’re a staple for commercial photographers, product photographers, and advertising photographers.
At Sunshine House Creative Studio, our full corner cyclorama provides a blank canvas for endless creativity. Whether you're shooting a high-end product, creating social media content, or capturing portraits, a cyc studio is a must-have resource in 2024.

2. Hybrid Studios for Photography and Video Production
As brands increasingly request photo and video content in the same session, studios offering hybrid solutions are thriving. The demand for versatile content studios that can handle both mediums is skyrocketing.
At Sunshine House Creative Studio, we specialize in both photography and video production, helping creators and businesses maximize their time in the studio. This trend makes studio hire more essential than ever for South East Queensland photographers and videographers.

3. Elevated Product Photography with Textures and Layers
In 2024, product photographers will focus on creating tactile, layered images by incorporating textured surfaces and natural materials. Think marble, fabric, or wood backdrops combined with moody lighting for depth and dimension.
Pairing this trend with a cyclorama studio provides the flexibility to customize your backdrop, ensuring a polished, professional finish. Sunshine Coast product photographers can take advantage of Sunshine House Creative Studio’s adaptable space to experiment with this elevated style.

4. Vibrant and Bold Colors in Advertising Photography
After years of minimalism, 2024 will bring back bold, vibrant colors in advertising photography. Brands want attention-grabbing visuals for campaigns, and photographers are using bright backdrops, gels, and lighting to achieve this.
A photography studio with professional lighting and a large cyc wall—like ours—offers the perfect environment to experiment with vibrant palettes. This trend is ideal for brands creating content for Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and QLD markets where dynamic visuals thrive.

6. Cinematic Lighting for Video Production
As video content becomes more cinematic, video production teams are embracing dramatic, film-inspired lighting techniques. From soft glows to sharp contrasts, this trend creates a storytelling element in every frame.
