Of all the potential photographers on Bark to take my family’s portraits, John was the only one who actually contacted me and followed through.
I have absolutely no regrets!
John was amazingly efficient and is gifted at getting the desired expressions using his great sense of humour. He could engage the attention of babies and toddlers, and even manage to get authentic smiles from moody teenagers!
The photos turned out really great and we look forward to getting the art versions of our favourite photos - yet another of John’s specialties. His website has some excellent examples of the kind of art he is capable of producing. He is a true artist.
John’s service is very reasonably priced, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs photography services. If I ever have need for a professional photographer in the future, I would definitely hire John Laham Photography again.

Dear Ivy, What a wonderful review you have written. I am blessed to have a career I love, and testimonies like yours make it all worthwhile to know that the images created will be cherished for many years to come. I definitely had a lot of fun especially when I get total control of a fast moving 2yrs old... I call this an achievement, so funny when he stayed in his pose even when the shoot was finished, he was waiting for further instruction from me to move hahaha. All in all, it was a wonderful experience for me as well. Warm regards John :)

I have nothing but positive things to say about John he is an absolute artist and a professional. It was such a pleasure to have him capture a very special moment and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He has an eye for some incredible shots but is also very happy and cooperative to work with you and any visions you may have. He genuinely embraces the emotions of the event and is personally happy for the people that he is photographing. More...

John was a total dream come to life! John is an authentic, kind, passionate human being who cares as much for his clients as for his work/service.
John is always respectful and open to the clients wants/needs.
Johns work as a photographer is professional, beautiful and of a high standard. It's clear he loves it and John is fun to watch while at work - he is so enthusiastic and passionate!
I consider my money well spent.
Finally it's worth noting, I was significantly late for our appointment causing John to be late for his next appointment. However John did not complain one time or let it affect the job in any way. Excellent customer service! Highly recommend!

John Laham was our wedding photographer in January 2022, attending our wedding ceremony, photos in the bushland and on the beach in northern Sydney, then our reception. John has an innate ability to put people at ease and make them laugh, and caught some superb images of the wedding party and guests. John is quick at catching the moment, so did not interrupt the natural flow of the day. He assisted in making the day lots of fun! Always a gentleman, we would highly recommend John as a photographer for weddings or other special occasions. Daven and Jen Timms. More...

John Laham was a pleasure to work with and if you decide to hire him for your wedding photography (or any other photography) you will not be disappointed! ! He has a unique style that you won't find with other photographers that transforms you into a work of art. He is also quick! You won't have to spend hours in the cold or do cheesy poses because he finds a way to catch the perfect shot in seconds. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to a great photograph is the one that has no language barrier and that triggers raw emotions from the viewer.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I like to believe that all questions are addressed and answered prior to taking on any new project. So when you start one, the client is at ease and have full confidence in my abilities.
What do you love most about your job?
Everything, I love documenting life in any event. My passion towards my craft have never died down, always look forward to the next one.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I always wanted to become a painter like Rembrandt or Monet. But a famous painter died when I was 16yrs, the media announced that all his paintings have quadrupled in price. So my young brain interpreted this as 'To make money from paintings you have to die first.' So I had to find a plan B, and photography has been my plan B since.

Portrait Photography
John finds portrait work rewarding and expressive. He enjoys working with people, giving them direction and encouraging engagement with the subject on a personal level so that people will feel free to be expressive in a warm, comfortable environment.
Capturing emotion is the key ingredient to a great portrait; it’s about energy, bringing a character to life, rather than letting the lens do its work with the click of the shutter!
John’s engagement with the client is intimate and his warmth and understanding helps in finding a mood and an expressionist style to suit their individual requirements. To further accentuate their individual character.
Corporate Photography
John has worked with leading events and venues and understands the impact that media has on your business or corporation from working as an ambassador for Leica. It’s important to build great relationships that last and promote and lead in a creative marketing environment. My approach from beginning to end is always thinking creatively, shooting from different angles in a professional manner. Why not shoot your next function, capture your product launch and promote your next public speaker, up sell you branding and take profile pictures of your team? With John’s experience and knowledge you can collaborate, focusing on your client targeting, your niche, to achieve a common goal: capturing lifestyle images that will promote and add value to your expanding endeavors; the professional choice is yours.
