I am a contributing photographer to New Zealand’s leading stock image website: Truestock.
Bushy Park Tarapuruhi is an incredible native sanctuary near Whanganui, and is absolutely full of toutouwai (North Island robins) and tīeke (North Island saddlebacks). I highly recommend adding it to your list of places to visit if you love our native wildlife and forests!
Wētā are awesome! This blog is about how I attracted wētā to my backyard using native planting, weeding, trapping and wētā hotels.
In late February, I found out that I’d been offered a True Young Explorer scholarship position from Heritage Expeditions on their ‘Unseen Fiordland, Stewart Island, and The Snares’ cruise. I was BEYOND stoked. I had two weeks’ notice to apply for leave from work, get my gear sorted, and mentally prepare myself for getting way out of my comfort zone.
I gave a talk about my approach to street photography at a Wellington Photographic Society event. I discuss my style, ethics and using Fujifilm X-Series gear
A guide on how to create a safe backyard for our native wildlife in Aotearoa New Zealand
In Aotearoa, we’re all in a lockdown where we can’t leave our homes until April 23rd at the earliest. This is to try and eliminate the spread COVID-19, a particularly shitty coronavirus that’s spread around the entire planet and is infecting thousands. It’s pretty grim.
