Twenty Years. Three Continents. One Photographer in Brisbane.
Tom MacDonald is a Brisbane based commercial photographer with two decades of international experience. For ten years, he was senior staff photographer at Bonhams 1793 in London, one of the world's leading auction houses, shooting across Europe and Hong Kong to standards that leave no room for error.
Since relocating to Brisbane, Tom has worked with businesses that understand photography is how the world forms its first impression of them. His clients include luxury jeweller Margot McKinney, Hardy Brothers, Wallace Bishop, Greens and Quality Foods.
He specialises in executive headshots, corporate and environmental portraits, architectural and interior photography, and fashion and lookbook campaigns.
International experience. Brisbane rates. Every shoot directed, crafted, and delivered with precision.
Based in Brisbane. Available now.
For ten years I was senior staff photographer at Bonhams, one of the world's leading international auction houses, shooting everything from rare jewellery and classic vehicles to antiquities and fine art across London and Hong Kong. It's an environment where precision, consistency, and speed are non-negotiable, and that discipline shapes every shoot I do today.
Since relocating to Brisbane in 2015 I've worked with some of the city's most respected brands — including luxury jewellers Margot McKinney and Hardy Brothers, and campaign shoots for Wallace Bishop and Down to Earth Opals, alongside a broad range of commercial briefs across headshots, corporate portraits, fashion, and architectural photography.
Clients consistently tell me they value two things: the quality of the work, and how straightforward the process is. I take a clear brief and execute it with minimal fuss, or help refine it when the brief is still taking shape.
If you're looking for a commercial photographer in Brisbane who brings genuine international experience and gets the job done to a high standard, I'd love to hear about your project.
