Australian Turf Club

Photo Studio & Custom Set Build

This premium photo studio activation turned heads at Autumn Fashion Chute, blending timeless style with unforgettable branded experiences.

The Brief.

The Australian Turf Club wanted a sophisticated, fashion-forward activation for their 2019 Autumn Fashion Chute that would engage racegoers, showcase high-end style, and deliver shareable content. The goal: create a custom set that reflected elegance and prestige, while also enabling premium studio photography and seamless guest participation.

How We Did It.

Polite Playground managed the project end-to-end—from concept and design through to build, onsite execution, and data capture. We created a bespoke custom set build inspired by a rich Autumn colour palette and elevated fashion styling. The set featured:

  • Premium branded backdrop for polished photography

  • Stylish chaise lounge for guest posing

  • Glamorous chandelier for a luxe finish

  • Floral installation by The Make Haus for a striking visual centrepiece

Alongside the set, our professional DSLR photo studio delivered high-quality portraits instantly shareable via digital galleries. Guests left with magazine-worthy shots, while ATC gained data insights and an activation that lived up to the prestige of the event.

The Impact

The Fashion Chute was a runaway success, driving participation, social buzz, and premium content creation. The polished execution reinforced ATC’s reputation for delivering unforgettable race-day experiences that go beyond the track.
