About Me
I am a wildlife/nature photographer and student based in the Waikato and Coromandel regions of New Zealand's North Island. I specialise in New Zealand bird photography, capturing images of native and rare species, and enjoy documenting Aotearoa's wildlife in its natural environment. I began experimenting with photography by capturing everyday scenes and soon realised I had a strong interest in finding and photographing rare New Zealand birds. Over the past few years, I have developed my skills and now focus primarily on native bird photography, particularly in the Coromandel region. Through my work, I aim to promote conservation and highlight endangered species, using photography to raise awareness and inspire the protection of New Zealand's unique wildlife.
Contact
I specialise in wildlife photography but am also available for portraits and events. I charge a small hourly rate to cover costs for my gear and really enjoy capturing new and unique moments.
