26F is an evolving collection of my favourite images, created from a passion for photography which continues to grow. In 2021, my family purchased a crop-frame mirrorless camera for me as a gift.  From there, I have taken a deep dive down the rabbit hole, and become totally immersed in (obsessed with?) photography, covering a growing mix of genres.  

​

I call Christchurch, New Zealand home: After moving here over 20 years ago I quickly discovered the beauty & laid-back lifestyle of the South Island, and have lived here ever since.  For years I have ventured into the wild and breath-taking landscapes of the South Island through climbing, tramping, and mountain biking: These landscapes are places that I connect deeply with, where I feel most content.

​

For me, photography is a creative outlet, but also an opportunity to spend time in the places I love, and celebrate them through art. I really enjoy the challenge of expressing the scale and emotion found in New Zealand's landscapes. It's not lost on me how lucky I am to have access to these amazing places.

​

The camera is also a tool through which I love to connect with people, whether it's heckling competitors while shooting a bike race or capturing a moment in time that means something special to a Client. 

​

I hope you enjoy my work and please, feel free to get in touch!
