Pieter du Plessis Photography

Based in Ōtepoti Dunedin, New Zealand, overlooking Otago Harbour, I photograph the changing light and moods of the landscape around me.

I also capture arts and live events—always drawn to fleeting, honest moments. I’m an amateur landscape photographer living close to the beautiful Otago Peninsula in Dunedin, New Zealand. My passion is landscape photography, which is taking me to beautiful places at the most beautiful times of the day. I shoot my photos with passion to tell my unique story of nature. I own the copyright of all photos on this page, but you are welcome to share my work by crediting me when sharing. If you need prints or want to use any of my photos, please inbox me on my page or send an email to [email protected] for further information.

A little trip down memory lane to November 2025. One of those magical mornings in Ōtepoti Dunedin when the first rays of sunlight slowly illuminate Otago Harbour, creating beautiful colours, reflections and a sense of calm.

Waterfalls, ancient forests and Cathedral Caves 🌿📸 Another day exploring the spectacular Catlins, in the southeastern corner of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

This time, the journey took me to the beautiful McLean Falls, the iconic three-tiered Purakaunui Falls, and the impressive Cathedral Caves, carved by the power of the sea into the rugged coastal cliffs.

What a beautiful part of New Zealand — and what a privilege to explore it with a camera in hand! ❤️

A sunny day exploring the beautiful Catlins ☀️📸 Spent a beautiful sunny day exploring Te Ākau Tai Toka, the Catlins. For those not New Zealanders — it's a spectacular coastal region in the southeast of the South Island, between Balclutha in Otago and Invercargill in Southland. With its rugged coastlines, golden sandy beaches, lush native forests and peaceful lakes, it is a photographer’s paradise.

From the dramatic rocky outcrops and lighthouse at Nugget Point, to the sweeping sands of Tautuku Beach, and the tranquil, reflective waters of Lake Wilkie, every stop offered something special.

Days like these remind me how fortunate we are to live in this beautiful country. ❤️🌿

Took a drive around Ōtepoti Dunedin on a beautiful evening, making the most of the beautiful day before sunset. Along the way, I stopped to capture a few familiar landmarks, including some of our historic high schools Otago Boys' High School , Olveston House and other beautiful corners of this special city.

Happy Labour Day long weekend to all!
