The experience
The opening only happens *once.*
Event photography for exhibition openings, launches and gallery events. My arts background means I understand the room, the artists and the work, not just the party.
I capture the speeches, the guests, the artists with their work and the atmosphere of the night, discreetly and without disrupting the event.
You get a gallery ready for press, socials, funding reports and your archive, with fast selects available for next-day sharing.

How I work
Discreet, warm, and genuinely *art-aware.*
My style
Documentary and unobtrusive. I capture the night as it happens, real moments over posed shots.
How I work
I arrive early, learn the run of the evening, and move quietly so I'm in the right place without getting in the way.
What sets me apart
An arts background, so I understand who matters, which works to feature, and how to read the room.
Want a few shots out that night? I can deliver a small set of edited selects quickly for press and socials while the buzz is still on.

Questions, answered
Accurate colour and scale are everything with art, and getting them right takes specific experience. My Applied Arts training and time as a registrar at Whangārei Art Museum mean your work is handled and reproduced properly, not just photographed.
Yes. I deliver true-to-life colour at high resolution, suitable for catalogues, grant reporting, publications, press and archives.
Yes. I photograph both the individual artworks and the installation in context, so the space, scale and atmosphere of the exhibition are recorded too.
You keep the copyright to your artwork itself. I provide the photographs licensed for you to use across promotion, catalogues, press and archives, and I'll always explain exactly how they can be used.
Yes. I regularly provide documentation suitable for gallery archives, funder and grant reporting, and publication, and I'm happy to work to any specific format requirements you have.
