Hallo! I’m Tara.
I specialise in Pet Photography, Underwater Photography and editorial imagery.
My photographs have a pretty distinct style – I like lashings of colour, loads of definition and very very cool lighting. Visually intense stuff is how one of my friends refers to my work.
Where possible, I much prefer to shoot outdoors using natural light and to make the most of New Zealand’s sublime scenery. When I can’t get outside, I have a small studio at home where I like to create dramatically lit fine art portraits.
I live in Hamilton, New Zealand with my boyfriend Ken and our collection. Our collection consists of his two kids Dell and Mika, Nixie Lix (almost 2 year old American Bulldog/Greyhound X) and my long suffering fatty cat Napoleon James Dynamite.
I am one third of The Pet Posse – we offer the best Pet Photography Workshops in New Zealand. We specialise in on-location workshops for all levels of photographers.
I’ve been published – my editorial work has appeared online and in print, most recently in D-Photo magazines feature on Pet Photography, in the Chained Dog Awareness Hunks & Hounds Calendar and in the New Zealand Geographic book Southern Exposure. My photographs are also often used by WashBar as part of their branding and I am very proud of our partnership. I have been part of a fundraising campaign for Hamilton Zoo and many of my underwater photographs have been used by websites such as Global Dive, Book Your Dive and Scubadvisor.
