Ko wai ahau?
Ko te kuti, ko te haua, ko te wera, e ko Apanui e!
I’m a Waikato-based photographer working throughout Aotearoa and beyond, creating authentic, people-focused imagery for iwi organisations, businesses, creatives, and communities.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across commercial campaigns, brand storytelling, cultural events, and archival photography for iwi initiatives, educational organisations, and kaupapa throughout Aotearoa. I hold a Bachelor of Media Arts and run an independent photography practice grounded in strong relationships, trust, and cultural integrity.
In 2025, I was honoured to be named NZ Geographic Te Ao Māori Photographer of the Year, recognising my work documenting and celebrating Māori stories through photography.
I’m especially drawn to photographing people in a way that feels relaxed, honest, and true to who they are, whether that’s kaumātua, artists, corporate teams, rangatahi, or headshot clients who swear they hate having their photo taken. No matter the kaupapa, my work is always grounded in connection, story, and creating imagery that feels genuine and lasting.
Need updated headshots, branding imagery, or content for your organisation?
From quick team portraits to campaigns and stock libraries, I create imagery for businesses, organisations, and creatives that feels natural, professional, and genuinely connected to the people behind it.
