I do my best every time
Let’s be honest for a second: Hobart’s business scene is thriving, but budget tightening is real. Everywhere you look, local businesses, non-profits, and independent operators are trying to do more with less.
When times get tough, professional photography is often the first thing cut from the budget. Businesses turn to smartphone snapshots for their staff profiles, or they ask an intern to shoot their annual conference.
But here’s the truth from someone who has been behind the lens in Tasmania for decades: poor imagery costs you more in lost clients than professional photography costs upfront.
I’m Tony Lomas, the founder of Island 26 Photography. I’ve spent years capturing the face of Tasmanian business—from fast-paced corporate conferences at the Hotel Grand Chancellor to fresh headshots for local startups. And right now, I know exactly what it feels like to watch every dollar.
That’s why I want to talk about how you can get premium, high-end commercial imagery without the “agency” price tag.
High-End Results, Small-Business Pricing
A lot of people assume that hiring an experienced photographer means breaking the bank. They think you need a massive corporate budget or a membership to exclusive business networks just to get a foot in the door.
I don’t play that game. At Island 26 Photography, my mission has always been simple: to provide top-tier, reliable commercial and event photography that everyday Tasmanian businesses can actually afford.
Here is what I specialize in:
- Affordable Staff Portraits & Headshots: Your team is the face of your business. A grainy smartphone photo against a white wall doesn’t inspire trust. I offer quick, professional, and affordable headshot sessions (either in-studio or on-location at your office) that make your team look approachable and expert.
- Conference & Event Coverage: Hosting a seminar, AGM, or industry workshop in Hobart? You need dynamic images that capture the energy of the room for your next marketing push. I offer competitive day and half-day rates that keep your event budget intact.
- Commercial & Web Imagery: Whether you need sharp product shots, interior photography, or high-res images for your website relaunch, I deliver clean, professional assets tailored to your brand.
Experience You Can Trust
When you hire a budget-friendly photographer, you shouldn’t have to compromise on quality. With years of experience navigating Hobart’s unique lighting, venues, and corporate landscape, I know how to get the perfect shot efficiently. I don’t need hours of setup time or expensive gear rentals—I bring the expertise and the equipment needed to get the job done right the first time.
No hidden fees. No massive corporate overheads. Just straightforward, high-quality photography from a local who cares about the Hobart business community.
