Burano & Murano / Italy

Europe

Burano was our first island stop. An easy 40 minutes from Venice. I’d suggest getting here first thing in the morning so you can appreciate it well before the crowds arrive. It’s a small island with the most amazing coloured houses (easily the most colourful blog post yet!) You can even cross a bridge to nearby island Mazzorbo.

We quickly looked around Burano snapping away like crazy before heading to Murano. Murano is known as the glass blowing island. It is a little bigger and has a lot of cool things made of – well glass. Some of the pieces are amazing, hopefully you have deep pockets if you plan on making a purchase though! If you’re in Venice for a few days I would definitely recommended spending half a day on each island.

I love creating images that speak to me.

I grew up in a small town that nobody really knows about, Levin. Spent a good ten years in Hamilton making some of the best friends anyone could have. And now I’m living, working and playing in the city of Auckland, New Zealand. Also a small country that people have trouble locating – I’m looking at you America!

Life is about stories, and that’s what I love to capture and document. My shooting style is unobtrusive. You may be a natural in front of the camera, or have no idea what to do but before we even start I’ll make sure you’re comfortable and relaxed.

Things I love: Travelling to wherever I can, my partner Monita, homemade burgers, wood fired pizzas, the smell of rain on a hot summers day, mountains, the snow, sunsets and sunrises, star gazing, natural light, the aesthetic of wood, crashing waves and day dreaming.
