Matai Moorfield

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. While I am based in Hamilton, I photograph wildlife primarily 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.
