Photography in Wellington

Buildings, events, people and places, photographed on commission for businesses and organisations in Wellington and across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The range

Architecture
Exteriors, interiors and details, in progress and on completion, delivered as a set.

Kiosk, Courtenay Place, Wellington
Documentary
Work, places and people over time: a build from first pour to hand-over, a season, a programme. Shot as a series, not a single visit.

Smoke Signals series
Corporate and government events
Conferences, functions, launches, awards and ceremonies. Speakers, rooms, guests and the detail.

Music and festivals
Stage, crowd and backstage, in any light.

Weddings
Ceremony, portraits and reception, documentary in style.
Portraits
Headshots and portraits for teams, boards and profiles, on location or in the studio.
Studio and product
Products, objects and food on a clean ground or in context.
Drone
Aerial stills and 360 panoramas of sites, buildings and land.

Choosing the pictures and placing them, on a site or in print, is design.

How a booking runs

  1. Email with what needs photographing, where and when.
  2. Expect questions: the use, the access, the light, the deadline.
  3. A fixed price against an agreed scope, in writing.
  4. The shoot.
  5. Edited files, delivered. They are yours.

How it is priced

Per job, not per hour: a fixed price covering the shoot, the edit and the files, which are yours to keep and use. Travel outside Wellington is quoted separately. Ask with the brief.

The work

Architectural documentation for practices, in progress and on completion. Events from gallery openings, weddings and gigs to corporate and government functions. Documentary series published as books and shown in exhibitions.
