We had a technical blip and last nights announcement didn't post, never fear, today we get 2 announcements!

This afternoon we are bringing to you our 8th speaker..... Chris McKeown!!!

NZIPP Affiliate Chris McKeown is a Wellington photographer working across landscapes, live performance, and portraiture. His high-resolution landscape photographs feature on the walls of several hospitals, and his exhibitions, print and calendar sales have supported a range of charities, most recently the Home of Compassion Soup Kitchen.

Chris combines his photography and consulting careers with an interest in mental health and brings a scientific curiosity to his exploration of light, attention, connection, and awe. These interests have led to several public talks and an ongoing relationship with Victoria University’s Night Sky Futures research network, which explores the psychological and physiological benefits of experiencing the night sky.

Happy Sunday! Tonight announcement for our 10-10-10 speaker line up is….. Joanna Piatek!!

Joanna is a photographer based on the Kāpiti Coast, where she runs Captured By Friday Photography. Originally from Sweden, Joanna has made New Zealand her home and built a wonderfully varied photography career spanning weddings, portraits, commercial, documentary and food photography.

An NZIPP Accredited Professional Photographer and Master Photographer with Distinction, Joanna also holds a National Diploma in Multimedia Journalism, which perhaps explains her love of telling stories through images. She was a finalist for the 2025 NZ Wedding Photographer of the Year and has also been recognised internationally in the BIPP Photography Awards.

Joanna is also the photographer and creator behind Kāpiti – A Portrait Through Food, a photographic food/cookbook celebrating the people, places and food of the Kāpiti region. Following two editions, she's now taking the concept north to Horowhenua producing her 3rd book.
With a love of storytelling, an eye for the unexpected and a preference for keeping things real rather than overly staged, Joanna believes that even food has personality!
” My approach is not trying to make every plate of food look like it belongs in a glossy food magazine. I really do try to make it look like it belongs to the person who created it.
And I believe that is my very unique way of looking at food photography.”

At this year's 10-10-10, she'll share ten images exploring just that.

✨ Speaker number four is… Kristine Zipfel! ✨

Kristine Zipfel is a Wellington-based photographer originally from Norway and Germany. She's shot everywhere from in-house at Wētā Workshop to freelance commercial work and events, but underwater photography holds a special place in her heart. Her freediving career has taken her to competitions around the world, and she's rarely without a camera when she gets there.

📣📣 10-10-10 speaker number 3 is...... Shaun Waugh! 📣📣

Shaun Waugh is a Wellington-based artist and educator whose practice makes photography the subject of photography. Working primarily with the complexities of colour, he explores and expands the artistic and technical potentials of the photographic medium. Waugh is interested in the fraught relationship between images and the world they profess to represent—a relationship shaped by deception, reduction and seduction. He creates images that are less certain than they initially appear, prompting reconsideration of what constitutes contemporary photography and its shifting implications and effects. Working with the material, technological and cultural conditions of photography, Waugh explores the photograph as both image and object, and the processes through which images are produced, reproduced and encountered. Waugh is Head of Whiti o Rehua School of Art, Toi Rauwhārangi, College of Creative Arts at Massey University. He is represented by Two Rooms Gallery and NMG, Arrowtown.
