HOW DID YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY
START?
I had a keen interest in photography from a young
age. After finding the academic environment of
university wasn’t a good fit for me, I decided to
turn my interest in photography into a possible
career option and enrolled in a Diploma Course in
Photography at UCOL.
Fast forward and I started my company Katabatic
Creative, initially as a way for me to formalise my
side-hustle while I worked a variety of other jobs.
Subsequently the business has grown to incorporate
my commercial and editorial photography business as
well as a graphic design and print studio in Hokitika on
the West Coast.
