About

From Taranaki, New Zealand. At home everywhere.

Based in New Zealand, I am a photographer at heart and a psychiatrist by trade. Wearing both hats, I seek to reveal what’s often unseen—the quiet resilience, the unspoken strength, the human spirit behind every story.

I am motivated by finding the moments that define us, the struggles that shape us, and the triumphs that inspire us.

My camera has become an extension of my work. Through it, I support Communities, NGOs and other purpose-driven organisations by capturing visual narratives that inspire empathy, awareness, and change. From communities rising through adversity to the fragile beauty of our human world, I aim to create images that not only inform but also move people to act.

Photography, like the clinical world, is about connection. It’s about presence, patience, and a deep respect for the lives we encounter.

If you're looking for a photographer to support your cause and values via meaningful storytelling, I would love to hear from you.
