Kia ora, nau mai ki taku wharangi whakaahua!
Kia Ora! my name is Dan
I've had a passion for photography since my high school years.
I specialise in sports photography, Portraits and event photography.
You can find me most weekends on the boundry lines of an AFL field or in a studio or a secluded outdoor location shooting a nice portrait.
Photography is like poetry, only visual. This is the joy of what we do.
We can't anticipate what's going to happen, we just discover it, and share in that joy.
That is what Photography is all about for me.
My goal is to capture beautiful in-between moments that make your story so special
Grand Final here we come!
Ignore the blur lol.
A pivotal moment of the 2025 AFL Sydney Division 5 Pre liminary final game between the Southern Power AFC and UNSW ES Bulldogs.
We had a 23 point lead in the 3rd quarter, but UNSW had been on a surge.
showed here is Jayden Lucas kicking the ball out of the opposition half to Ryan King-Thornburg.
