RAROTONGA BASED
THE ARTIST BEHIND THE LENS
Born and bred in the Cook Islands, Rarotonga has been my beloved home for the last 23 years. Inspired by its beauty, I've embarked on a journey as a photographer to incorporate a piece of my homeland into the work I do. I might be biased, but I truly believe my island is the best place in the world!
I THRIVE ON ADVENTURE—whether discovering new back roads or exploring the moana. I truly believe that simple joys add that extra bit of excitement to our lives.
Initially an artist, you'll see my creativity in the colour and style of my photos. Especially in my Cultural Portraits. Painting consumed much of my time, so blending it with my love for photography felt natural. Capturing moments "my way" has been incredibly fulfilling.
A highlight of my 3 year journey has been meeting people from abroad and creating personal albums for them as souvenirs. I adore taking clients to unconventional spots in Raro—if you're up for a new experience, we should collaborate!
