After some long studies in International Relations between France, Australia, Bolivia and China, Laura has worked several years in the international business industry. But after 5 years in this corporate job she  realized something was missing. She felt a vital need to move on towards a career which made more sense to her. After a skills assessment she got the confirmation that she needed a career change. Becoming a jeweller came to her as an evidence.

As part of the ongoing NZ artefacts collection, I photographed more items for the Auckland Museum online store. There was a bigger variety of unique jade pendants, jewellery and tikis along with traditional maori wood carvings. NZ family games and children’s books were also part of this time’s collection. The biggest focus however, was on red poppy artefacts in remembrance of our soldiers for the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Rem

I had the huge privilege to portrait the talented kiwi songwriter and musician Don Mc Galshan for his last CD promotion : “Lucky Stars Parts”. Rather than editorial it had to be a bit more formal. But still it needed to tell the story of this man : creative, sensitive, relax but still smart.

Here is a very exciting photo project I have been working on, while in Fiji and am really excited to share it. Cloud 9 is a stunning bar in the middle of the most beautiful reef with its clear water and thousands fishes. You can snorkel, swim, jump, relax, read, chill, socialise, drink a beautiful cocktail or eat a yummy wood fired oven pizza. This island bar is a real piece of heaven. An absolute Must do in Fiji!

I recently did a photo shoot that I’d love to share with the world. The Auckland Museum recently acquired a new range of kiwi pieces and Jessa Cochrane and I styled the artefacts for the latest addition to their online store. The pieces were simply magnificent! Entirely done by NZ craftsmen and artists, each of the artefacts contained elements of jade or maori koru and tiki symbols and a few other elements that made them exclusively unique to New-Zealand.
