Food, drink, interior and atmosphere photography and reels that make a venue look as good online as it does in person — built for menus, web and social.
Weddings
For couples

Music
For artists & labels
Press shots, live shows, EPK content and performance video — imagery that gives an artist a consistent visual identity across releases and platforms.

For agents & developers

Dreamlab is a Melbourne photography and video studio.
I'm Dominic Dias, photographer and creative director at Dreamlab. I work with brands, venues, artists and couples to make imagery that feels considered — shot with intention, lit with care and graded to last.
Every project starts with the idea and the light, not the gear. Whether it's a campaign, a collection or a wedding, the goal is the same: clean, cinematic work that still looks right long after the trend has passed.

FAQ
How far ahead should I book?
It depends on the season and the type of project. For weddings and larger productions, earlier is better — reach out with your date and we'll confirm availability. Smaller shoots can often be arranged at shorter notice.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes — a booking deposit secures your date, with the balance due as set out in your quote. Exact terms are confirmed in writing before we begin.
What's your turnaround time?
Turnaround depends on the scope of the shoot and is confirmed in your quote. We'll always give you a clear delivery date up front, and can prioritise time-sensitive campaigns.
Do you travel outside Melbourne?
Yes. We're Melbourne based but travel for the right project, in Victoria and interstate. Any travel is quoted transparently up front.
Who owns the images and how does licensing work?
You receive a licence to use the delivered images and video for the agreed purpose. Commercial usage terms are set out in your quote so everyone's clear before the shoot.
How are revisions handled?
Your quote includes a set number of edit revisions on the final selects. We'll always work with you to get the delivery right.
How are files delivered?
Final photos and video are delivered through a private online gallery you can preview, download and share from any device.
Can I get the raw files?
We deliver professionally edited, finished images and video as standard. Raw files can be discussed for specific projects — just ask.
What happens if it rains?
For outdoor shoots we keep an eye on the forecast and plan a wet-weather option or a backup date where possible, agreed with you in advance.
