MY AESTHETIC

My photography is a quiet, empathetic and unstaged observation of where we've been, where are now, and where we hope to go.

​

I notice the often-missed details of New Zealand rural life and capture these honest moments through photography.  I convey texture with up and close macro shots, evidence animal sentience by showcasing their natural behaviour and curiosity with a telephoto lens, and present a documentary style account of farmers crafting a lifestyle from pasture, water and light.
