About 7CHAIRS

7CHAIRS is the creative brainchild of Sydney-based commercial photographer Ben Halcomb.

The name comes from family — with five kids and two adults, we always needed seven chairs to go anywhere. The kids might be older now, but Sunday family dinners still fill every seat.

Ben shot his first wedding at just 16, and now — more than 36 years later — he’s still behind the camera, doing what he loves. With a career that spans weddings, major corporate events, and large-scale commercial campaigns, Ben is a multi-award-winning photographer with deep industry experience and a practical, people-first approach.

There’s not much he hasn’t photographed. Whether he’s hanging out the side of a helicopter capturing aerials for a brand or shooting headshots in his Penrith studio — once the camera’s in his hand, that’s his happy place.

Founded in 2012, 7CHAIRS now focuses primarily on commercial and corporate photography, working with businesses big and small to create content that feels real, powerful, and effective.

Based in Western Sydney, we work all over — including international shoots across the USA and Asia-Pacific.

We’re proud to have worked with a wide range of organisations, including:

Sydney Markets, Morningstar, Arnott’s Group, Sennheiser, Penrith City Council, ACFS Port Logistics, Clarendon Homes, Rafton Family Lawyers, Greenstone, Solve Offroad, Campus Living Villages, The Royce, Penrith Valley Chamber, Bella Dental Penrith, Lion, Australian Turf Club, Omnicom Media Group, Down Syndrome NSW, WentWest, Billbergia, United Services Union, Rowing Australia, Paringa Pet Foods, Australian National Construction Review, and many more.
