PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m a fashion, music, and product photographer with a multidisciplinary edge—bringing together years of experience across photography, videography, design, and music production. This blend informs a unique visual language and gives me a natural producer/art director mindset when approaching creative projects.

I’ve worked with internationally recognised brands, artists, and musicians, delivering everything from high-end studio e-commerce photography to full-scale lifestyle campaigns. My work spans the full creative pipeline—from pre-production through to final delivery. Some of the brands I’ve collaborated with include Vans, Dr. Martens, Timberland, Skechers, Subtype, Platypus Shoes, Hype DC, and more.

Previously based in Melbourne, I was immersed in the fast-paced agency world, shooting for global fashion and footwear retailers. Since returning home to Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, I’ve channelled that experience into building a collaborative studio space designed to uplift local photographers, musicians, artists, and brands looking to grow with intention and style.
