Stoked to help the Mackenzie Half Marathon feature on the @onenewsnz sports section last night! A super cool community event run by the Fairlie Lions with all proceeds going straight back into the @nz_mackenzie district.

Thanks to @juan.noba for his great work behind the 🎥 and @jenny.suo for showcasing our local event!

How beautiful is this image! 'Aurora Australis Reflection Perfection' by Hunter Smith (@huntersmith_nz) was a finalist in our inaugural competition. 📍Lake Ruataniwha, Twizel

"This image was based on a complete gamble, as I was unsure if the aurora would be visible from this location. Thankfully, I took the chance and ended up with this beautiful image. I was super lucky to capture this burst of colour it only lasted about 5-10 minutes (which isn’t long at all!)."

Calling all photographers! ⏳ Time is ticking to enter the 2024 Mackenzie Region Photography competition!

This image, 'Aoraki Afterglow' by Joseph Pooley (@j.pooley.world.photo), was a finalist in our inaugural competition.

"This image is a single 30-second exposure, capturing the last glint of colour in the sky as the stars emerge after a fiery sunset. The view from Sefton Bivvy leads the eye (from left to right) from Hooker Lake, through Mueller Lake, past Mt Wakefield and Mt Cook village, and downriver to Lake Pūkaki."

Stoked to see my image used in the entrance way at NZWTA (New Zealand Wool Testing).

I took this image of these fine merinos from Glen Lyon Station, near Twizel, while working for @nzmerinoco a few years ago.

Did you know that Kiwis spent a whopping $2.2 billion on physical goods online during the first quarter of 2022!! And the average spend (basket size) was $131.

If your business isn't selling online ... then you should seriously look into it. Don't be left behind!

Fancy your morning coffee in bed with this view?

@mountcookstation's Boutique B&B is pure luxury in the mountains. Make sure you check them out if you're looking for an off-the-grid getaway!

And lucky for me I get to help them with their marketing 😍

Lake Takapō is known for it’s beautiful seasons, which also means it’s looks very different throughout the year. Loved giving @aldourielodge’s image library a refresh over summer.

But seriously, is this the best accommodation spot in town?!

My biggest project to date is super close to going live. The hardest part of this project? Seeing the EPIC parts of Africa that closed borders don't allow us to explore ... yet.

Trust me, it'll be worth the wait!
