What We Do
At Alterwave, we turn moments into media that moves. Whether it’s the adrenaline of a packed-out gig, the quiet intensity of a studio portrait, or the strategy behind a scroll-stopping campaign, we’re here to make your vision hit hard and feel real.
We offer a full suite of music-focused creative services, tailored to artists, brands, events, venues, and everything in between. Specialising in photography, videography, content creation, creative direction, marketing and press - we work with you to capture the vibe, amplify your vision, and build content that resonates.
Alongside our agency work, Alterwave also operates as a national music publication - spotlighting emerging artists, documenting live music, and capturing the culture through photography, video, and storytelling. It’s where we started, and it continues to fuel everything we do.
We adapt to the energy of the moment and bring it to life in every frame.

Photography
From high-energy gigs and tours to artist press shoots, we capture the full spectrum of music and culture.

We also specialise in venue and hospitality shoots that highlight atmosphere and character, turning every frame into an invitation.
Videography
We bring music and events to life through dynamic video content. From live performances and immersive event coverage to creative music videos and scroll-stopping social media reels, our videography combines cinematic storytelling with raw energy. We also produce brand and commercial shoots, plus venue and hospitality videos that highlight your unique vibe and connect with audiences on every screen.
Creative Direction
Our creative direction shapes powerful campaigns and content that resonate. Whether it’s social media strategy, artist or brand campaigns, full social media management, or marketing and promotional efforts, we guide the vision from concept to execution. We also craft artist PR campaigns that build buzz and connect you with the right audience - ensuring your story is told with passion, purpose, and impact.
We do it all, and we do it with heart.
The publication
Alongside our agency work, Alterwave proudly continues as a national music publication - spotlighting emerging artists, documenting live music through powerful photography, and capturing the stories that define the scene. It’s where we started, and it remains the creative heartbeat of what we do.
With a contributor network that spans Australia, we collaborate with passionate photographers, videographers, writers, and creatives who bring their unique lens to the culture. We support, nurture, and elevate this community, helping talent grow and thrive.
By running both an agency and a publication, we offer more than services - we provide a platform. This dual model allows us to uplift talent, create meaningful content, and stay deeply embedded in the music community we love.
