The people behind Hire a Photographer

Meet Stuart & Robert

We’re Stuart & Robert, the founders of Hire a Photographer and Limelight Media.

We created Hire a Photographer with one simple goal: to get great freelance photographers seen.

We’ve worked in the creative industry for years, so we know first-hand just how much talent exists across photography, videography, design, music and beyond.

Whether you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding, cover a sporting event, take professional headshots, photograph your products or bring a creative idea to life, we want to make finding the right photographer simple.

Real photographers. Real creativity. Real results.

So, have a look around, discover some incredible local talent and, when you find someone whose work you love, start a conversation. Your next project, event or big idea could be just one photographer away.

Real work first

Full portfolios let the photography do the talking.
