Trusting Your Passion Even When It Feels Uncertain

Why Photographers Fall in Love with New Zealand’s West Coast

And Then It Happened: The Award That Changed Everything
I’m beyond thrilled and honoured to share that I’ve won the Arrowtown Photography Award 2025! This recognition means so much to me—not just as a photographer, but as someone who deeply values storytelling through images. Arrowtown, with its rich history and breathtaking seasonal shifts, has always been one of my favourite places to photograph. To have my work acknowledged in a town so deeply rooted in art and beauty feels incredibly special.
The winning image was a moment of quiet light and stillness—one of those scenes where everything aligned just right. I’m so grateful to the judges, the Arrowtown Creative Arts Society, and everyone who continues to support and encourage my journey behind the lens.
