An editorial photography journey through Wellington and the wider region: coffee counters, restaurant kitchens, vineyards, foraging and a little time on the coast.
Follow the food, meet the people
This project took me through a side of the Wellington region I love photographing: the places you eat, the people making things and the landscapes that sit around it all.
For WellingtonNZ and Bauer Media, I photographed a mix of food, hospitality, people and place. The story moved from coffee and restaurant tables to vineyards, foraging with Monique Fiso and fishing with Awatoru Wild Food.
More than the finished plate
I am always looking for the frame around the food as well as the food itself. Hands at work, a conversation across a counter, the light falling into a room — they help you understand what a place feels like.
This edit brings those moments together with the dishes and details. It is a little tour of the region through the people and places that give it flavour.
