"Hey there, I’m Tom MacDonald, and I’ve been photographing still life and products for close to 20 years.

My journey began in the London art scene, where I captured fine objects and artworks for auction houses. This background equipped me with strong skills in lighting and color management.

After moving to Brisbane nine years ago, I started my own business focusing mainly on jewelry and product photography, with occasional gigs shooting fine objects in Hong Kong.

I’m comfortable working independently or with a brief. And if the budget allows, I’m happy to travel anywhere in the world to collaborate with a creative team.

My work has been featured in several magazines, including Australian Vogue, Vanity Fair and Quanta's Magazine."

"Hi, I’m Tom, and I’ve been shooting still life and products for the best part of 20 years.

I started out my journey in the London art world, photographing fine objects and artworks for sale at auction. This grounding gave me an excellent skill set in lighting and colour management. Upon moving to Brisbane nine years ago, I set out on my own and formed my own business working mainly in jewellery and product, as well as continuing shooting fine objects in Hong Kong.

I am able to work autonomy and to a brief or if the budget allows, I can travel anywhere in the world to work on site with a creative team.

My work has been seen in many magazines including Australian Vogue, Vanity Fair and Quanta Magazine.

Get in touch today. I’d love to hear from you!"
