Featured Case Study
Tru Women’s Gym Remodel and Rebrand
- Commercial Brand Photography
Tru Gym, a women's-only gym in Frankton, won my half-day commercial package at the Bayleys Frankton charity golf auction. Owner Carla wanted the finished remodel documented — architectural frames, individual workouts and group scenes across up to 50 images, some destined for Queenstown bus advertising.

Charity Golf Tournament
I sponsored this one rather than shot it for a fee: Roost Mortgages' Arrowtown charity tournament, raising money for the Whakatipu High School Foundation and teachers struggling to find housing in Queenstown. I donated a half-day commercial package and a family shoot to the auction, and photographed the day.
