Overview
I’m honoured to be the first New Zealander invited to serve on the jury for the World Press Photo, Asia Pacific Oceania – a globally prestigious photography contest. This milestone not only highlights my career but also brings visibility to New Zealand photography on an international stage, promoting diversity, artistic expression, and cultural exchange.
I’ve received an official (self-funded) invitation to attend the World Press Photo Awards and the opening of the 2025 exhibition in Amsterdam this May. The event is a valuable opportunity to connect with global photography professionals and explore future collaborations.
To make this once-in-a-lifetime experience possible, I’m seeking support to help cover travel costs.

Thanks everyone!
Thanks to my generous supporters so far, I am amazed to be 1/3 of the way to Amsterdam, but still a ways to go to the target!
I am busy with requests for donations, need about 21 more at $100, and will be working on it over the Easter break!
Have a good weekend til my next update ;)
