workshops with toi taniwha
Mauri ora!
I’m holding space for a full day photography workshop this spring! A slow, intentional space to ground, learn, and create together.
This offering is for anyone at the beginning of their photography journey, or those who’ve been experimenting for a while and are ready to deepen their understanding, not just of the camera, but of how to truly see.
Together, we’ll move through my creative process, from concept to capture to final edit, in a way that’s grounded, intuitive, and led by story and feeling.
There will be space to learn, ask questions, and create alongside me. You’ll also take part in a hands-on photo walk so you can put your skills into practice.
