Our Services

Throughout my journey, I have immersed myself in various industries, starting from the music and entertainment sector, venturing into portraits and family photography, and now embracing what I like to call "Corporate Narration."

Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating on incredible projects with exceptional individuals. Some highlights include art directing and photographing the Calendar for the "Calendar Girls" Show in Kerikeri, collaborating with local film directors to capture stills for their films and music videos, and engaging in other remarkable endeavors.

Occasionally, I find myself delving into the realm of videography. I have successfully shot a short cinema advertisement that combined both videography and photography elements. Additionally, I have captured live events and undertaken PR shoots through the medium of videography.

My personal projects are driven by my passion for traveling and a deep fascination with diverse situations, people, and the intricacies that define us. Having grown up with a strong European influence, I have a profound appreciation for how different cultures express themselves. Furthermore, my background as a Mental Health Counsellor has endowed me with valuable insights and, I believe, a sense of empathy that resonates in the photographs I capture.

My true joy lies in capturing authentic photos that reflect the true essence of who you are, embodying the essence of your business or individuality. I aim to move away from highly posed or fantastical imagery and instead strive to capture the genuine essence and kaupapa (purpose) behind each person and enterprise I work with.

“Claire’s approach to working creatively within iwi/hapu spaces is one of utmost sensitivity & respect. Her outstanding ability to capture those poignant and often highly emotional moments of cultural historical significance is evident in the portfolio of photographs take for Tuhono Kerikeri Bicentennial and Te Ahurea Dawn Blessing & Official Opening ceremonies. ”
