Gorse Road 2/3 - Pinhole on fine art paper
Here is a very early Pinhole of mine that travelled to Germany for a group show many years ago. It was the beginning of my obsession with gorse, noxious weeds and Aotearoa New Zealand landscape.

Here’s a portrait of a good friend’s daughter — in that wild, wonderful stage of teenage life. She’s figuring it out, and you can see so much strength and promise in her eyes. This generation gives me real hope.
Bookings now open for late Feb 2026 if you’d like to capture your own kids as they grow and change. Arohanui ❤️

Pinhole photography feels like an old voice.

When I was living Wellington I explored the south coast with my pinhole cans and played with dipping my prints in wax and etching into them - this work was the foundation of my Lamina series.

From The Light is Inconsolable — a series of pinhole images created in response to the beautiful poetry of Arthur Fairley. ✨
In this piece, I’ve layered a pinhole image with a camera image taken at the same moment — a quiet reflection on life’s many layers.
