Elevating regional people, places and brands through thoughtful photography and design.

I’m Annabelle Spann, the creative mind behind Studio Rural. Having spent much of my life in rural and regional Queensland, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the people and communities that make these places so unique. I believe that living in regional, rural, or remote areas isn’t a disadvantage - it’s an advantage.

I’m dedicated to helping regional businesses be professionally represented through creative photography and graphic design that highlights their unique identity. Alongside this, I also photograph families and portraits, capturing their tenacious spirit and the genuine connections that make rural life so wonderful.

Pt. 2 Osborne House, Bundanoon There’s something quietly commanding about this place. Every angle feels intentional, but not forced. @leantimms @osbornhouse_
Pt. 1 Some misty, moody takes from @osbornhouse_ last week. What a fabulous place! @leantimms #osbornehouse
When I sat down opposite portrait master @hughstewart_ , I couldn’t resist turning the lens back on him. Kind of surreal to think that Johnny Cash once shared this exact view.
As I drove through Tenterfield last night the streets were rainy and dark but @loganleaflorist was preparing for a whole lotta love.
