Hello there!
We would love to share with you a behind-the-scenes look at the production crew and our latest collection in progress. Right from the beginning, we have been working towards oversized artwork — think exhibition-sized prints and wallpaper, suitable for large walls, high ceilings and galleries.
With love,
Estée and Stu x

OUR PROCESS
How a print comes to life
Our process includes multiple cameras and types, large backdrops, working with natural light and complex lighting setups, and a production team to manage everything in between. Every finished piece you see is the result of a passionate team pushing the boundaries of what is possible, exploring new ways of creating and capturing, and a robust post-production process.
THE CREW
Meet Weronika and Yanni
Please meet Weronika and Yanni, our lovely photographers, with Estée on the flowers and Stu on the drill. Each shoot is a collaborative effort — Estée builds the florals and compositions, while the photography team captures them with the precision and depth that our large-format printing demands.
WHY OVERSIZED MATTERS
Designed for impact
From the very beginning of Austin Bloom, we have been drawn to scale. There is something about a large-format print — one that fills a wall, that you can stand in front of and feel surrounded by — that a smaller piece simply cannot replicate. It changes how a room feels. It transforms a wall from background into experience.
Working at this scale means every detail matters. The lighting must be precise, the colour calibration exact, and the post-production meticulous. A flaw that would be invisible at A4 becomes unmissable at A0. This is why our studio process is so hands-on — there are no shortcuts at this scale, and that is exactly how we like it.
