PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, ART DIRECTION & GRAPHIC DESIGN
food ~ beverage ~ still life ~ product ~ portrait ~ interior
Based in Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa.
Obsessively active behind the camera since 1995.
Beginning in the high school dark rooms and formal education of a Bachelor of Graphic Design and Photography at Auckland University of Technology. I have been freelancing since 2010.
I love the interplay between light, colour, shape, movement and texture. These visual cues are prominent in my work, and equally important is producing imagery which feels genuine.
I believe listening and communicating is essential not only to understanding a brief but also to capture all subjects; whether it is a portrait or still life. My work is a celebration of both photography and the relationship to my subject.
I have experience in observational story telling, editorial style and also refined concepting in studio. I can work within an established team or can take the lead on art direction, styling and production through to finished imagery with graphic elements. Each project results in it's own unique aesthetic while maintaining my artistic approach, with the highest level of care with every aspect.
Please get in touch to discuss day rates, project rates or content packages which can be a mixture of still and moving image/video clips.
"We worked with Liz for the first time in June/July 2022, and the whole process was seamless. From an initial korero via Zoom around what we were wanting to achieve visually, to working with our budget, and execution of the shoot, Liz was creative, collaborative, professional and accommodating. Even the suggestion of a hand model was considered and gave movement and personality to our imagery.
The end result is a well organised and curated collection of images that perfectly encapsulate the aesthetic we were aiming for. I’m looking forward to collaborating on future projects and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Liz to brand managers looking for beautiful, thoughtful imagery to bring a product to life."
