ABOUT ME

I LOVE taking photos. But not just any old pic. New Zealand farmscapes and the wonderful people that populate them.

​

I gave up a very good career in IT to pursue my passion in photography. (I believe you only regret the things you didn’t do!)

 

I’ve worked in agriculture for much of my career, mostly in the agritech space. My roles took me on to farms and saw me working with innovative and clever farmers. This experience deepened my appreciation and love of the outdoors, the animals, the farmers and growers, and the magic of producing food for so many. I had to capture their images and share these wonderful stories.

Now armed with my favourite lenses, I chase ambient light up and down Aotearoa, in every weather to document New Zealand farming authentically and proudly. (Bring on self-driving cars! 😊)

 

I roam our country towing my comfortable caravan with the obligatory Ranger, following the seasons, staying on amazing properties, and meeting lovely farmers while I indulge my passion for capturing rural New Zealand like no other.

 

What sets me apart from other photographers is I specialise in rural – you will not find any wedding photos in my portfolio! I’m always on location and my schedule and itinerary are designed around client needs. I have a drone as part of my camera arsenal and have animation skills which are handy if a client is playing the attention game in the social and events space.

 

Browse my image library. See what appeals. Let me know if there’s anything not there you’d like to see. If you’d like something more bespoke for a campaign, or are looking for a library shoot, please get in touch.

 

I’m Cristy. My roaming lenses and I are at your service!​
