biography

With over 20 years of experience in portrait photography, Hamish has spent a lifetime capturing the essence of people through the lens. His passion for photography is rooted in an early love for art and drawing, which eventually blossomed into a career focused on storytelling through images.

Raised in a scenic coastal town in South Africa, Hamish developed a deep appreciation for natural beauty, which continues to influence his photography today. He specializes in using natural light to create authentic portraits, believing that it brings out the true character of subjects. While he is skilled in using flash photography, he reserves it for select situations, favoring the soft, organic feel that natural light offers.

Hamish's journey as a photographer was further enriched by several years spent working on a cruise ship, where he traveled the world and honed his technical skills. The unique experience allowed him to perfect his formal portrait style, while also developing the adaptability needed for shooting in diverse locations..

Today, Hamish brings his love for natural settings and portraiture to life through on-location shoots. Whether it's capturing the warmth of a family, the elegance of a bride, or the soul of an individual, he creates timeless, meaningful images that reflect the beauty of both the subject and the setting.
