About the Photographer
I’m a commercial photographer & videographer with an eye for landscape, abstract and fine art photography. I regularly photograph the stunning landscapes and streetscapes that Otago has to offer, as well as further abroad. In each of my prints I try to convey a unique sense of atmosphere and minimalism in-keeping with my style of commercial photography.
