I’m a Cook Islander and Māori photographer based in the Cook Islands, working internationally across fashion, editorial, lifestyle and documentary projects.

Born in New Zealand and raised across the Pacific, my work is shaped by my connection to community and place, as an indigenous storyteller. Coming from a lived connection to place and ancestry, my work gives authenticity and depth that can’t be manufactured.

My interdisciplinary practice blends documentary sensitivity with editorial aesthetics, exploring how image-making can hold both the narrative and mood, translating real culture, emotion and atmosphere into imagery.

I collaborate with brands, publications, and communities to create intentional visuals, often exploring contemporary Pacific identity, culture, and environment.

In 2023, in addition to my photography practice, I also co-founded Te Ara o te Akau, a Cook Islands based NGO focused on coral restoration and ocean conservation, extending my practice into environmental advocacy and cultural preservation.

I am available for commissioned campaigns and projects worldwide.
