🎾 A week back I had the previlege of photographing the Purple Invitational: Kings Edition 2025 at Indoor Padel Browns Bay 👑

It was honestly so much fun to be apart of, the energy from the both the players and supporters was electric!⚡️

The event was sponsored by the team at .hydration fueling the players with their rapid hydration formula electrolytes

To top it off there was even an on-site masseuse .holistic to provide post-match massages to players, in all the Purple Invitational event was an all round success!

I want to extend a massive thank you to the amazing founder of Indoor Padel Brown Bay Chiara who put on this event and for giving me this opportunity 🙌

Deciding to pursue photography professionally has been one of the best decisions that has opened up so many doors for opportunity 🙌

I would never be where I am today had I not acted upon my ambitions and had the tenacity to persist at my craft no matter what adversities I came up against.

Embarking on any business venture is never a one way street and I've come to learn that you don't have to have everything figured out to start seeing wins. You just have to start, and not cling to perfectionism.

My mission as a hospitality experience photographer is not only to help hospitality businesses command attention online but curate an irresistible online presence through impactful story-driven imagery.

I don't just capture moments, I capture experiences that are genuine and authentic.

If you're on the hunt for a hospitality experience photographer to capture stand out imagery for your socials I want to be your go to person 🙋‍♂️

🤯 It's surreal to think that it has been over a year since I started my freelance photography journey and I am beyond grateful to all those who have supported me throughout the process.

In the beginning of it all I didn't have a clear roadmap, but with more than a little faith and a lot of determination to succeed I have become clearer on my mission and the type of clients I seek to serve moving forward 🙌

What I love most about my work besides taking photos is the genuine relationships I have formed with each client and the positive reinforcement I've received about my work whether this be through testimonials or a direct compliment.

It is very easy as a creative person to be self-critical of your work but I understand that there is always room for improvement whether this be learning a new technique or investing in a business dev. course 👨‍💻

Prior to each shoot I consult with my clients to align on key objectives and to discuss the overall creative direction for a shoot. This ensures that I am able to utilise my time effectively on the day of the shoot and deliver a cohesive gallery of images that meet the clients expectations.

My mission, helping brands amplify their brand presence with compelling, story-driven imagery that commands attention 💥

Recently, I have had the privilege of working closely with the team at Kinfolk Cafe & Eatery to capture stand-out visuals for their social media.

Kinfolk is much more than a cafe with quality food and coffee, it is a space to come together with family and friends and share in each-others company.

From the moment you walk through the doors you are welcomed with a warmth that feels familiar and comforting. The staff at Kinfolk are very attentive and hospitable, making every visit a truly pleasant and memorable experience.

Kinfolk offers a delectable selection of seasonal menu items prepared by their experienced chefs along with hot and cold beverage options available to purchase.

My favourite dish (Although they are all soo good!!) would have to be the classic Eggs Benedict with a side of smoked salmon and button mushrooms!

If I had to sum up my experience at Kinfolk in one word, it would be homely!

2024 taught me one BIG lesson: Never underestimate your potential, no matter what adversities you come up against! 🙌

As we dive into 2025, I want to pause and THANK everyone who’s supported me on my photography journey. The connections I’ve formed with fellow photographers and business owners have been truly inspiring, and I’m so grateful for each one of you.

Last year was pivotal for me: from being featured in my local community magazine to partnering with businesses to elevate their online presence. I’m immensely proud of how far I’ve come, but none of this would have been possible without stepping out of my comfort zone and taking action.

This year, my mission is simple: to partner with business owners and individuals to create unique imagery that authentically captures the essence of their business or event.

Through the POWER of visual storytelling, I empower businesses to forge deeper connections with their audience and drive meaningful engagement both online and in person. For individuals and organisations, I focus on preserving the energy and emotion of events, allowing them to revisit memorable moments, captured authentically.

If you’re looking to elevate your brand’s photography or want your next event professionally captured, let’s chat! DM me to learn more about my packages and how I can help bring your vision to life.

Here’s to an incredible 2025, filled with creativity, connection, and impact!
Your friendly neighborhood lensman,
✌️ Harry

When I first started out in photography I would have never imagined I'd offer my expertise to help real businesses. It's one of those 'pinch me" moments that reminds me how far I've come in my photography journey, and I couldn't be prouder.

I recently completed a shoot for Mutual Friends Café who needed some stand out photography for their social media. The objective was to capture imagery that authentically conveyed the core essence of their business to further strengthen their online presence and connect meaningfully with their audience.

To achieve a cohesive visual narrative I aimed to capture a balanced mix of shots that showcased not only the space and their unique offerings but its practically. People don't just want to see a space, they want to envision themselves in it!

I am so grateful that the team at Mutual Friends Cafe put there trust in me, and I couldn't have been happier with how the final images turned out.

Whether you're in need of a photographer to capture some unique shoots of your business or have a special event coming up please don't hesitate to reach out! I can tailor a package that fits your needs and budget without compromising on quality.

You're friendly neighborhood photographer 📸

📷 This is a compact DSC-W110 7.2 Megapexel Sony Cyper-shot camera released in 2008, and it was my first ever digital camera that started me on my photography journey.

I took this camera everywhere I went from family holidays, hikes, over ocean and above the clouds. It's been exposed to all possible elements and it never failed me. Technically the equivalent of a Nokia...if you know you know 😂

This wasn't by any means a high spec camera but that never discouraged me from taking photos. I wasn't concerned about the image quality nor the fact that it only shot JPEG files or that you had no control over the depth of field.

I was just happy to be taking photos becuase that is what excited me and still excites me the most!

Fast forward a decade I've since upgraded to a high-spec Canon Mirrorless camera system which is a far cry from my point and shoot. Although it enables me to do so much more it didn't instantly make me a better photographer, let me explain...

Good photography in my opinion at least is less about the gear and more about the intention behind each shot you take. Think about it this way, your camera can't think for itself so you can't expect it to take great photos for you. Only you decide how to shoot and what the final output will be.

But then again, having this freedom isn't enough. You first need to have the creative vision 🙌, this is where you can showcase your unique style!

The lesson here is to see not with your camera but first with your own your eyes.

When you learn to become more concious in your decisions as a photographer you start taking better photos.

This is not about being a perfectionist by any means but simply being more deliberate in how you shoot.

The key here is to not get so caught up in the technical parameters (Although these are important) but focus more of your attention on your subject and/or scene.

You're photography is art, and with any good art, it shouldn't be rushed. Photography shouldn't have to feel overwhelming nor should you expect yourself to be perfect.

Shoot what excites you, keep learning, experiment with new techniques and always challenge yourself to be better.

🙌 Follow these exact steps to speed up your post-processing workflow...

1. Lens Corrections: Minimise Lens Distortions and Chromatic Aberrations.

2. White Balance: Use this to correct colour casts or apply additional warmth/cool tones (Colour Grading) for creative effect.

3. Tone Curve: Apply selective tonal adjustments along the parametric curve to influence the black,shadows, midtones,highlights and whites. Use a classic S-curve to enhance contrast, deepen shadows and brighten highlights.

4. Basic Adjustments: Correct exposure as needed, then fine tune highlights, shadows, whites and blacks as needed.

5. Selective Adjustments: Use selective masks to correct or enhance different areas without affecting the whole image. This a good way to emphasis a particular subject(s) within your image.

6. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance): Adjust individual colours within your image to control Hue, Saturation, and Luminance. I prefer to mute colours slightly by lowering saturation, raise the luminance and shift the hue to effect the overall mood of my image.

7. Colour Wheels: Apply colour casts to shadows, midtones, and highlights to set the mood. Often used to cool shadows and warm highlights. I mostly use an analogous or complimentary colour scheme to colour grade.

8. Calibration Sliders: Apply necessary global colour shifts to the red, green, and blue primaries. Tip: Increase the saturation of the blue primary as needed to positively increase the intensity colours within your image.

9. View courasel for the last 3 steps

☕️ Are you an avide coffee consumer? Here's something I think we can relate on....

There’s something undeniably therapeutic about a coffee pour, just as much as that first sip of coffee in the morning 😌

Maybe it's the slow, gentle hand movement as the freshly steamed milk with its clould-like consistency swirls around the cup.

From the first swirl to the last drop, coffee is a ritual that is worth savouring ✨️

Market days are one of my favourite times of the month, it's more than just an event, it's an occasion to connect with and celebrate community, while soaking in the lively atmophere 🙌

The Long Bay Village Market checks all the boxes for a fun day out with family and friends from hearty food stalls, home made artisan goods and live music. There is something for everyone, even your furry friend doesn't miss out on the fun! 🐶

Here's a shout out to a few of the talented vendors I had the privilege to connect with:

✨️ Pretty Fancy Chocolate

✨️ The Bee Keepers Wife

✨️ Real Dog Food

✨️ mnastreetwear .streetwear

✨️ The Welders Daughter NZ

✨️ David Bayer Designs

✨️ Dough Boys Bakery .bakery

I thoroughly enjoy interacting with the different vendors and learning more about what they do and how they got started. You can truly sense the passion and dedication.

I always walk away feeling more inspired and motivated to succeed in my own endeavours as a photographer.

From these genuine interaction I am reminded of the importance of supporting local businesses however small the contribution.

There is a certain magic ✨️ about market days that puts a spring in your step.

If you haven't experience a market day for yourself, then this is your sign to visit one!!

You won't regret it 🙌
