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.

Personal Branding Shoot with Harcourts Real Estate Agent
A two-hour personal branding session at Kelvin Heights with Harcourts agent Mitch Martin — my first client after moving to Queenstown. Several changes of clothes against the rocky lakeside, delivering up to 20 images for his headshots, LinkedIn, social profiles and listing marketing.

SIEBA Conference Marketing Imagery
SIEBA's international education conference in Auckland needed more than event coverage — its photo library hadn't been refreshed in six years. Over two days I photographed keynotes, workshops and networking sessions, delivering 100+ images built to work as marketing collateral across the association's website and campaigns.

Whakatipu Legend Winter Swim
An annual open-water winter swim in Lake Whakatipu, shot from a lifeguard boat in a full wetsuit. I approached the organiser and asked to come along for free in my first months in Queenstown — a way into the local events community, and warmer in the water than out of it.
