Hawke’s Bay is home, and I also have a base in Taupo. I work across the North Island, including Rotorua, Tauranga, and Auckland. I also take on commercial and event projects in Wellington, Christchurch, and other regions when required.

I work with SMEs, large organisations, agencies, local councils/government, marketing teams, and event organisers. Most of my work is commercial, corporate, campaign-focused, or people-based.

I focus on commercial photography, corporate portraits, headshots, lifestyle and editorial-style imagery, architecture/interiors, people-focused storytelling, and event coverage. I also offer AI-enhanced still imagery where it improves the final outcome.

Yes. Headshots are a core part of what I do for individuals, teams, and large organisations. These sessions typically take place at your premises or on location to make things easy for your team.

Headshot sessions include lighting setups that suit your brand, guidance on expression and posture, multiple frames to choose from, and professionally retouched final images. For larger teams, I keep the style consistent across all staff.

Yes. I photograph individuals and full teams, and I can create cohesive staff portraits for websites, LinkedIn profiles, annual reports, and onboarding material.

Yes, but it never replaces traditional commercial photography unless a client asks for it. I use AI to support concept planning, pre-visualisation, and specific enhancements that improve the final results.

Everything starts with real photography. AI comes in when it helps refine the creative direction, enhance environments, create consistency, or streamline post-production.

Fixed pricing applies to headshot packages and some local event work. All other commercial and national projects are priced using cost estimates rather than formal quotes, because each job varies in scale, usage, and logistics.

I gather your brief, clarify what we’re shooting, understand where the images will be used, and outline the scope. Based on that, I provide a clear estimate for the work involved. If the scope changes, the estimate adjusts accordingly.

You will typically receive my estimate within 24 hours of our initial conversation. If the scope shifts during a project, I'll let you know before it affects the cost — no surprises.

Yes. I can assist with shot lists, visual style development, brand alignment, and mood boards. I also use AI tools to help map out early concepts when that adds clarity.

Most headshots and corporate portraits are delivered within a few business days. Larger commercial projects may take longer depending on volume and post-production needs. Timelines are always communicated upfront.

Absolutely. I frequently travel across the North Island, and I also take on projects in Wellington, Christchurch, and other regions. With bases in Hawke’s Bay and Taupo, travel is straightforward.

Yes. Retouching is included for all delivered images. Headshots receive professional but natural enhancements such as skin clean-up, colour balancing, and subtle corrections.

Usage rights are defined in the cost estimate. Most businesses receive broad rights for advertising, marketing, websites, and social media. Extended rights can be arranged if needed.

You’ll receive both high-resolution and web-ready files through a secure online gallery. You can download, share, and organise the files easily across your team.

Headshots and commercial shoots can often be booked at short notice, though advance booking is always recommended. Event dates, especially in peak seasons, fill quickly.

Yes. I regularly photograph large teams and nationwide groups. Ensuring consistency, efficiency, and a straightforward experience for your staff is a priority.

Yes. Client reviews are available on my website. These help give a clear sense of how I work, the service I provide, and the results clients receive.

I bring a commercial mindset, practical experience, a calm approach, and a blend of traditional photography with modern AI tools. This creates sharper results, more options, and smoother production for businesses, agencies, and government clients.

I'm based in Havelock North and cover corporate events throughout Napier and across Hawke's Bay, including conferences, product launches, staff functions, and company milestones. With over a decade photographing Hawke's Bay businesses, I know the venues and how to work a room without getting in the way. I hold NZIPP accreditation at Master of Photography level (with Distinction), and I'm happy to talk through availability and coverage for your event.

Yes. Aerial photography is a core part of what I offer, alongside my ground-based commercial and event work. I use drone imagery for architecture, construction progress, land and property, and primary sector projects across Hawke's Bay and Taupō, often combined with stills from the ground for a fuller picture of a site or project.

My landscape and travel photography is available as prints through SCP Stock Photography at scpstock.co.nz, where you can browse and order images from across New Zealand. It's a separate site to my commercial photography work, set up specifically for print sales.

I've been photographing events across Hawke's Bay for over 10 years, from conferences and corporate functions to openings and community occasions, and I'm an NZIPP-accredited Master of Photography (with Distinction). What matters most when choosing an event photographer is someone who knows the local venues, works unobtrusively, and delivers images fast. Have a look through my event portfolio and get in touch if you'd like to discuss your event.

Headshots are a core part of my work, for individuals, teams, and large organisations across Hawke's Bay. Sessions typically happen at your premises to make things easy for your team, with consistent lighting and styling across everyone photographed, plus professional retouching included. I'm NZIPP accredited and have photographed staff headshots for SMEs, agencies, and larger organisations throughout the region.

I've worked as a commercial photographer in Hawke's Bay for over 10 years, covering corporate, architectural, industrial, and primary sector projects for businesses, agencies, and local government. I hold NZIPP accreditation at Master of Photography level (with Distinction), one of the higher professional standards recognised in New Zealand photography. The best fit depends on the type of work you need, so take a look through my commercial portfolio and get in touch to talk it through.

Yes. Primary sector photography is one of my established specialties, covering orchards, vineyards, farms, and agribusiness operations across Hawke's Bay. This work often combines ground-based photography with aerial imagery to show scale and land use, and I'm used to working around the practicalities of a working property or site. I'm NZIPP accredited and have photographed primary sector projects for businesses and organisations throughout the region.

I've been photographing architecture and interiors across Hawke's Bay for over 10 years, from residential builds to commercial developments and government buildings. Recent projects include the new Taradale Police Station and show homes around Havelock North. I'm NZIPP accredited at Master of Photography level (with Distinction), and I work closely with architects, builders, and developers to capture a project properly, inside and out.

Sometimes, but it depends on what's been agreed with the client. Usage rights in my estimates are typically for the client's own marketing and communications, not for on-selling or third-party use. If a media outlet, supplier, or partner wants to use existing SCP imagery, get in touch and I'll check what's possible with the client and arrange appropriate licensing.

Life and weather don't always cooperate. If you need to move a booking, let me know as early as you can and I'll work with you to find a new date. For outdoor and event work, I keep an eye on the forecast and will flag any weather concerns ahead of time rather than leaving it to the last minute.

Yes. I work with schools and education providers on staff portraits, prospectus and marketing imagery, and event coverage such as prizegivings and open days. The same NZIPP-accredited approach applies, and I'm happy to talk through what a school specifically needs, since the brief is often different to a typical commercial shoot.
