About

I’m Hamish Mackie, founder of Howling Wolf, a Tauranga-based photographer and filmmaker specialising in real estate and architectural media. My work focuses on creating clean, refined visuals that showcase detail and present every property with purpose.

With years of experience in property marketing, I understand what makes a listing stand out. My approach is efficient, polished, and reliable, whether it’s helping an agent present a home at its best or creating portfolio imagery that reflects the quality of a build, design, or development.

Why Howling Wolf? Because wolves don’t blend in, they lead, they’re heard, and they command attention. That’s the standard I bring to every property, project, and brand: work that is thoughtful, impactful, and designed to leave a lasting impression.

  • “Hamish’s eye for detail and commitment to excellence make him an outstanding photographer and videographer. He showcases properties at the highest level, attracting more buyers. Calm, patient, and highly professional, he consistently exceeds expectations—especially for our high-end vendors, who value his precision and expertise.”

  • “Hamish is a legend! Always professional, efficient, and accommodating, his modern approach makes photos stand out. His expertise in high-end photography is unmatched, and he consistently exceeds my (very high) expectations. I highly recommend his services.”

  • Photography & video are one of the most important parts of selling a property and Hamish knows how to nail it. We have such good synergy when developing the videos, and with his attention to detail and vast experience, you’ll get the best product available to market your home. I don't believe there’s anyone even close to producing the same quality as Hamish.

  • "We have worked with Hamish over a number of years on multiple properties; taking properties to market and in addition he has provided material for business purposes. He understands the brief and captures properties in the best way possible. Along with photography Hamish has also provided creative videos and always turns work around quickly and makes any changes required quickly. We will continue to work with Howling Wolf on future projects."
