Tēnā Koe,

I am excited to introduce myself and share with you the initiative - Beyond Ripples—Supporting Hauora & Mental Fitness. This ongoing photographic project highlights organisations that promote mental health through a focus on connection to the environment, communities, and self. The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness and create inspiring imagery that supports your organisation’s efforts to foster well-being.

How It Works

Stage 1: We connect to discuss your organisation’s work and how it aligns with the principles and philosophy of Beyond Ripples—Supporting Hauora & Mental Fitness.

Stage 2: Together, we plan when your event is happening, a date to capture the essence of your story through photography and videography. A written agreement is finalised.

Stage 3: Once the content is finalised, we share it to mutually promote and celebrate each other along, with bringing awareness to ways that support hauora and mental fitness.

There is no cost to participate, though I gratefully accept any koha where appropriate for my work.

If you have an event that helps, or promotes hauora & mental fitness please contact me so we can collaborate and celebrate what you do.

My purpose is to connect communities through outdoors, photography, and video, and my style of photography is 'Reportage Photography' - shooting the most powerful images to convey stories and the event’s atmosphere.
