Mauri ora!

I’m holding an outdoor photography workshop focused on shooting with intention, technical confidence, and creating mahi that holds meaning. This is workshop 2.0 following our For The People workshop held in October 2025.

We’ll work with natural light, changing conditions and models, learning how to move beyond single images and begin shaping a cohesive body of work.

Beyond the camera, we’ll explore exhibitions, sustainability, and aligned creative business practices.

This workshop is for photographers ready to slow down, deepen their practice, and think about how their mahi toi exists in Te Ao Maarama.
