Appleby Photography - Hamish John Appleby

Hamish is a professional photographer, who took photos of our staff and board members. His photos were of excellent quality, and he himself is a very welcoming and just an overall great personality. He also made sure that we got our photos the very next morning! "Thank you for making the task of taking staff photos easy for us, Hamish! We will be very happy to use your services again! "

I was really impressed by both Hamish and the results he delivered for my Social Media Refresh:) Hamish has an amazing knowledge of photography, is quite reasonably priced and a great guy to boot. I highly recommend for all you photographic needs.

Hamish was our chosen photographer for my parent’s 60th Wedding Anniversary celebration at Russo Estate Winery. Hamish captured the magical moments and we have the most beautiful memories displaying all the love of the day now in his photos. We will cherish these forever. It takes outstanding skill and true professionalism to shoot these photos but what I love most was the easy, relaxed and no fuss approach to taking these photos which helped everyone just be themselves and enjoy the day. Hamish you are amazing and we are thrilled to recommend your services to everyone.

Hamish was fantastic. His photos were beautiful and he was so much fun to work with. I recommend!

Our organization, Melbourne Zen Group, recently engaged Hamish to take photographs for a significant community event. We found Hamish to be an excellent communicator, someone who listens well to understand ‘the brief’. He was asked to photograph a ceremony planned to authorize and welcome a new Teacher to our group. This involved working discretely to capture important moments of the ceremony without impinging on the flow of the proceedings. Hamish achieved this beautifully. His skilled photographs creatively convey the flavour of the day, providing a valuable record for our group.
We found Hamish to be very generous with his time and his attention to detail. All communication with him was easy and pleasant. We highly recommend Hamish as a skilled photographer to engage for any significant occasion.

I stumbled upon Appleby Photography online. This hit or miss situation landed me just what I was after: A skilled photographer with an authentic eye and a genuine personable approach. Hamish made for a totally comfortable and fun photo shoot and provided a great product at the end. He was easy to work and communicate with, quick to respond to my numerous requests and super quick to deliver the final photos. Will definitely call him again.

It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Hamish. The experience was smooth and easy, with little guidance he knew exactly what I wanted and the final photographs are more than amazing.

It was a pleasant photo shoot. Hamish shot multiple angles and different perspective, even I could not imagine. It was quite easy to achieve the desired results I wanted. Eventually, I was very happy with the work and I wouldn't hesitate to engage with Hamish's photography service in the future. Highly recommended!

We engaged with Hamish for our corporate photoshoot and he is very professional and friendly! Our team found him very creative and easy to deal with it, from organising the shoot to directing during the shoot. We are very happy with the photos and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a high caliber photographer.

I engaged with Hamish for a corporate photo shoot. He was extremely easy to work with and professional. Hamish was very detail orientated with his work which provided excellent quality photos.

Hamish was very professional and organised. He was incredibly patient with our models and was considerate of all operational impacts, scheduling his shooting around these to help ensure our business continued without interruption. The finished shots were sensational and we were so pleased as they turned out better than we could have imagined. Their use in our advertising has boosted sales and helped attract a broader audience with contemporary images and themes.

Professional photographer who is very flexible and meeting deadlines. At our Organisation, we mostly use his photographs due their high quality. I am happy to reccomend Hamish for any upcoming photography needs. He is willing to take up assignments anywhere around the world which is also an advantage.

Hamish is a highly skilled, creative photographer who brings professionalism, experience and a sense of fun to every shoot. He is equally comfortable covering business and government events as he is working on larger tourism, hospitality or industrial assignments. One of Hamish's great strengths is his ability to put people at ease and get the best results out of any situation or setting. His images are always clean, striking and ready to use in print or digital format.

I hate having my photo taken but Hamish puts you at ease with his laid back yet professional manner. All the shots he took were great even with the slightly awkward subject matter thanks to his natural eye and direction. The job was turned around really quickly and to a really high standard. Would highly recommend

I know Hamish personally and professionally since 2012 where we worked together in a photography project for the third sector (development cooperation) in Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

I believe his photographic style stands out as it is always tuned to respect the dignity of the people being portrayed. His images allow a personal insight into people's livelihood & personality and always appear in a fresh look with a sense of optimism. An essential quality which I would like to see more in the contemporary third sector related photography around the globe.

Quick, professional, creative, cool, everything you want from a photographer you entrust with your most important projects

Amazing photographer. We had a great time during the shoots. Hamish is professional, yet very easy-going, friendly and fun. The photo's were absolutely fantastic. Therefore, we booked Hamish again for a second shoot!

I had the pleasure of working with Hamish on a number of occasions. He is very professional and his ability to make his models feel at ease without any awkwardness is remarkable.
He has a great talent of capturing real life situations that don't seem staged but actually reflect the beauty of the moment.
If you want stunning, naturally beautiful pictures, he is your man. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Hamish photographed my wedding and projects of an NGO I work for. He has a great ability to put people at ease and reveal something of themselves in front of the camera. With Hamish, everyone is photogenic. All of his photographs are beautifully composed and lit. Highly recommended.

Excellent photographer! Gets you exactly what you want, timely and with great quality and passion for his job. Good luck for the future!
