Fifteen years of commercial photography in Christchurch. An evolving creative practice combining photography, moving image and new technologies to tell the stories of people, businesses and brands.
Since starting out in 2010, my work has brought together the strategic thinking of a creative agency with the experience and visual approach of a professional photographer. What began with photography continues to evolve, incorporating moving image, digital content creation and new generative technologies.
What I love to do is not simply take pictures, but tell the stories of people and their businesses. That approach has shaped my work for more than 15 years, allowing me to create imagery that feels authentic, distinctive and connected to the people behind each brand.
Today, that same approach extends beyond the still image. Sometimes we shoot it. Sometimes we build it. Often we do both. Photography remains at the heart of my practice, with video, animation and AI-assisted production providing new ways to develop ideas and create engaging visual content.
I collaborate closely with businesses to understand their goals, their identity and the message they want to communicate. Every project begins with a conversation about what matters and how best to express it visually.
Drawing on extensive commercial photography experience, I create content for websites, campaigns, publications and digital platforms. This can involve environmental portraits, workplace photography, brand imagery, moving image or a combination of traditional and emerging creative techniques.
The way people experience businesses online continues to change, but the importance of compelling visual storytelling remains. Thoughtful photography and moving image can communicate personality, establish trust and give audiences a reason to engage.
