I offer visual storytelling in service of people, communities, and organisations doing meaningful work. This isn’t about extracting content - it’s about building trust, understanding context, and documenting what matters with care. Projects often begin with conversation: listening deeply, clarifying intention, and shaping an approach that feels aligned with your mission.

Tailored Visual Storytelling & Documentation

From community initiatives and environmental kaupapa (purpose, principles) to organisational storytelling and events, I document moments, relationships, and processes in ways that feel grounded and human. This work may include photography, film, interviews, audio, and written elements - shaped to suit your needs rather than a fixed formula.

Below are common ways people work with me.

A note on kaupapa and accessibility

In honouring the mahi of non-profits, charitable trusts, and grassroots organisations, I offer flexible pricing where possible. If your work is values-aligned and resources are limited, let’s talk.
