Brand · Interiors Photography
Spotify @ Mateo
Brand and interiors photography for Spotify's exclusive recording, podcast, and event space at Mateo , a project that brought together the world's leading music streaming platform and one of the most celebrated hospitality environments, creating a space where music culture and culinary craft coexist.
The assignment required photography that could communicate the dual identity of the space : a premium hospitality environment that also functions as a unique expression of Spotify's brand values around creativity, culture, and experience.
About the Project
Where brand identity meets hospitality photography
Spotify's multiple space at Mateo presented an unusual photography challenge: documenting a physical space that needed to feel like both a premium hospitality venue and a distinctive brand environment. Tom's approach drew on his expertise in both food and architecture and interiors photography to capture the space as a complete sensory experience.
The resulting images support Spotify's event marketing, internal brand communications, and press materials, demonstrating how the platform's investment in physical hospitality experiences translates into a tangible, photographable identity.
This project, WSDG's acoustic design work at Mateo, went on to win a NAMM TEC Award for Studio Design, with coverage in Mix Online and Hummingbird Media crediting this photography. See the full list of press features.
