I'm a wildlife photographer with a background in ecology and over a decade of hands-on experience breeding rare birds for release. My lens is drawn to the wild hearts of Aotearoa, New Zealand’s native birds and the Kaimanawa horses—capturing their stories with patience, care, and deep respect for the natural world. Every image is a quiet collaboration with the subject, shaped by years in the field and a lifelong love of nature.
