Freeride New Zealand

I love taking photos of New Zealand, and New Zealanders. I love to be able to use my images to promote New Zealand in a positive light to a global audience too. I'm passionate about sharing my experiences and the amazing sights I see, with anyone at all who's interested.

I'm lucky enough to shoot commercially for some rad brands, shoot editorially for some great magazines and websites, and also to take on all sorts of other personal and professional photographical challenges too.

There are lots of bikes in my work. That's because I also run the brand Freeride New Zealand, so if you're into bikes, boards and adventure then check it out. My work with FR allows me to travel both locally and internationally and work with some amazing people.

I love to travel, I love to have adventures, I love to capture moments.
