Travel stories
without the filters
Authentic commercial and editorial photography for accommodation providers, tourism operators, destinations and travel brands.
You don't just need photographs of your property or destination. You need unscripted images that make people imagine themselves there. Great travel storytelling is felt, not just seen.
As an experienced travel agent, writer and documentary photographer, I step away from the polished, cookie-cutter 'influencer' aesthetic to capture the reality of an experience. Whether creating visual assets for boutique luxury accommodation or crafting deep-dive editorial features for publication, my focus is on authentic connection and atmospheric depth - showing your audience what it truly feels like to be there.
Bringing Travel Industry Experience to the Story
With more than 20 years immersed in New Zealand's travel industry, I know that great tourism photography is about more than capturing a beautiful place. It's about understanding what makes an experience memorable - the people, the place, the details and the story that brings them together.
I bring that industry experience into every shoot, with in-depth knowledge of destination marketing, guest experience, positioning and seasonal campaigns. The aim is to create imagery that feels authentic while giving you a versatile library of photographs to use across your website, social media, editorial, PR and advertising.
I'm not just photographing what your business looks like. I'm looking at it through the eyes of the person you want to experience it (and the person selling it to them).
