Raglan

New Zealand

Apr 27

Friday was Anzac day. I still didn't make it to Dawn Service, I've made a promise to myself I will next year. It called for a trip out of Hamilton, away from the retail crowds. Off to Raglan we went.

We stopped at the Wharf for Fish & Chips before heading to the beach. Greeted with a little rain but we weren't bothered.

Once we got to the beach the clouds had opened up to reveal some sky, and the sun!

With the sun due to set in 45 minutes we B lined it straight for Te Toto Gorge. Unfortunately the clouds closed in before the sun dipped below the horizon. Regardless of weather, Te Toto Gorge is amazing, always.

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.
