Purpose-driven photographer living + working in lutruwita / Tasmania.
Based in nipaluna/Hobart, Nina (she/her) specialises in lifestyle, event + documentary photography, with a focus on environmentally responsible and socially conscious brands and people who are doing good things in the world.
Having worked in architectural practice and education in Brisbane and East Africa, Nina returned to Tasmania in 2013 and shifted her focus to photography in 2016. Her background in design allows her to bring a confident and creative approach to her work, with a distinct architectural perspective that informs the way she sees and understands details, light, colour and composition.
Nina is currently undertaking a PhD, which explores architecture, photography and tourist practices within the Tasmanian context.
Her work has been published in Architecture Australia, Australian Design Review, The Local Project, Broadsheet, Sanctuary Magazine, The Times (UK), Demure Mag and Peppermint Magazine.

Celebrating Tasmanian-ness: the place, the people, the culture.
lutruwita / Tasmania has gained global recognition for an exciting arts, design + produce scene. The island’s position at the geographical and cultural edge provides rich stimuli for designers and local brands.
The physical isolation, unique landscapes and that incredible Tasmanian light (yes, it’s actually a thing) all underpin a strong sense of place and identity, which can be beautifully reflected in the right set of images.
My commitment to environmental + social responsibility.
Protecting our environment + giving back to create positive social change are core values of Nina Hamilton Photography. This is why I commit to giving 1% of my annual revenue to values-aligned environmental + socially responsible non-profits, with a focus on environmental education + activism, and healthy built environments
Over the years, I have donated to The Hobart Women’s Shelter, The Tasmanian Land Conservancy, Wildcare Tasmania, Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, One Girl and Thread Together.
