Hayley O'Brienof Looking Glass Photography

Offering a full range of photographic services including portraits, corporate services, engagement sessions, weddings, special events, conferences, real estate, landscape and sports, I am a Melbourne based professional who specialises in capturing classic images with a uniquely personal touch.
Before my previous relocation to Melbourne where I specialised in family portraits, I was the Ministerial Photographer for the Chief Minister in the NT and also University Photographer at Charles Darwin University.

I like to take my time when shooting portraits, especially with children, as it gives people a chance to relax in front of the camera and ensures that images reflect the innate character of each subject. For similar reasons, I prefer to avoid staged studio shoots and instead use the beautiful natural surrounds of the the bay or comfortable home environments as a backdrop for my shoots.

Working in a selection of local and international destinations including Canada, the United States of America, Europe and the beautiful Whitsundays, I have photographed a diverse range of subjects including Oprah, L'Oreal, Tony Abbott and Sir Ian Botham. I have also covered numerous large-scale events including the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week and the Hamilton Cup. I also have over 5 years experience in Real Estate Photography, working with Australia's top Agents from McGrath, Belle, LJ Hooker, Ray White & many more in Sydney.

I became a photographer because I enjoy having the opportunity to reveal each persons unique beauty, character and to help people see themselves in a new light.
