Hokianga through my lens

A growing collection of coastlines, forests, dunes, settlements and personal moments—capturing the beauty, character and changing light of the Hokianga.

A story shaped by water.

From childhood fishing memories to decades spent working, exploring and photographing New Zealand, Ian's connection with water has remained constant.

“The Hokianga is never quite the same twice. The light, tide and weather keep changing—and that is what makes photographing it so rewarding.”
