Competition in the social media newsfeed has never been so fierce. With Facebook and Instagram now applying formulas to posts that determine who sees what, your images need to be on point to be seen. And it’s not just about views – to get social media working for your business, you need your fans to engage with your content. This may be a like, a comment or, even better, a share or repost. Having great, well styled photos is essential if you want to stand out in today’s digital world. You have your audience’s attention for a second and you need to capture them before they scroll onto the next thing. Poor photos can really let your brand down and even worse, see your fans lose interest and unfollow you.

Winter in Perth can sometimes feel like a drag – cold days, even colder nights, shorter days and not much chance to go out and enjoy our beautiful beaches… All that aside though, it certainly has its perks. Right up there with winter boots and fashion, warming comfort food has to be one of the highlights of winter. So now is the perfect time to stay in, rug up and fill up on hot curries, delicious soups and slow cooked stews.
