Recent Work in Taupo - Case Studies

Every commission tells a story. This is a selection of recent photography projects across Taupō, Tūrangi, Acacia Bay and the wider Central North Island - from luxury accommodation and editorial portraiture to community events and hospitality branding.

As New Zealand's most awarded photographer, I bring the same level of craft and commercial thinking to every project, whether it's a last minute shoot at one of the country's most celebrated retreats or a brand new café preparing to open its doors. Browse the case studies below to see the work in context.

Interiors

OMAKA LODGE

I photographed Omaka Lodge's rooms and spaces across a full shoot for their website refresh, capturing the warmth, character and quality of this boutique Ruapehu District property with imagery worthy of the experience it offers guests.

BAY VISTA

For Bay Vista in Acacia Bay, I produced architectural and lifestyle imagery showcasing this beautifully presented Taupō holiday home. The photography was designed to help the property stand out in a competitive short-stay market and the results speak for themselves in guest responses online.

MASONIC 150th

I'm documenting the Taupō Masonic Lodge's 150th anniversary celebration across two days. A significant milestone in the district's history, captured with the care and craft a century-and-a-half of heritage deserves.

Portrait

ANGLERS' TABLE

Editorial photography for KIA ORA Magazine (Air New Zealand), featuring the owners of The Angler's Table café in Turangi. Published editorial work that puts Taupō's hospitality scene on a national platform.

Interiors

SAPLINGS

A newly built early childhood centre in the heart of Taupō, designed to feel less like an institution and more like a second home. I was commissioned to photograph the space ahead of their opening, capturing the warmth, light and considered design that sets Saplings apart in the Taupō early childhood market.

Events

TAUPO PRIDE

I photographed Taupō Pride from the inside — capturing the energy, colour and community spirit of this important local event as it unfolded. Authentic, respectful event coverage that documents what makes Taupō's community worth celebrating.

Food

FOOD for ANGLERS' TABLE

Vivid food photography, on brand for Turangi's newest cafe and fishing tackle shop.
