Chris’s professional travel, tourism and commercial photography have seen him commissioned for assignments in 60 countries to date. Chris has a passion for the images he creates and for the relationships he builds with his clients.

Here is a glimpse at some of the incredible clients Chris has worked with.


Heliworks Queenstown / Heli Glenorchy - New Zealand

“We had the absolute privilege of working with Chris on our latest promotional shoot. We were blown away by our latest video, which Chris shot and produced, and the final imagery. The whole process was so easy. We love Chris' flexible and fluid approach and his creativity – you can put Chris in any landscape or environment, and he'll capture it 100 times better than you had ever imagined. We will continue working with Chris to add additional videos and imagery to our promotional library over the coming year - and we can't wait to see what he comes up with next.”

Southland NZ / Great South - New Zealand

“We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Chris on a variety of shoots to promote the Southland region. His eye for detail and ability to spot the perfect place for an amazing image is uncanny. He turns work around super quick and is incredibly flexible (having to work with ever-changing weather conditions). His creative input is much appreciated as he was able to pick settings and created photos we hadn’t even thought of before. We highly recommend Chris and look forward to working together again in the future.”

Ngai Tahu Tourism - Shotover Jet / Dart River Jet / Funyaks / Huka Jet - New Zealand

“I have engaged Chris to carry out photoshoots for me across three New Zealand tourism businesses over the last few years- Shotover Jet, Dart River Adventures and Hukafalls Jet. No matter the location, Chris always produces outstanding work and so many photos we hadn’t even thought about capturing ourselves. His eye for the landscape and how to best capture it’s beauty is second to none and he is the best photographer I have worked with. Chris is also extremely flexible, professional and willing to go the extra mile and I will definitely be engaging his services again in the future.”

InterContinental Hotels Group - Fiji

“I feel grateful to have worked with Chris on numerous resort photo shoots over the past 7 years.

Chris works quickly and quietly and always manages to capture that hero shot that no other photographer prior has captured. He is flexible and understands that not everything will go to plan, i.e. weather conditions, models or children. Chris has a knack for taking a vague concept and manipulating light, angles and talent in to the best version of the shot possible. His post shoot work is impeccable and fast, often working on images whilst we set up the next shot.

I would not hesitate to recommend Chris for projects both complex or simple and look forward to the next opportunity to work together.”

Lisa Rangitutia - Area Director of Sales & Marketing - IHG

“I have personally worked with not only Chris, but also dozens of professional photographers over decades. No one is better, easier to work with and more prolific than Chris.

He creates good where there is nothing, he creates great where there is good, he creates light where there is none, and when Mother Nature is feeling her most generous and cooperative, he captures stunning magic that will absolutely make your jaw drop. Chris is the consummate professional and there is no luck involved. No one works harder.“
