The gentle chaos of Sunday mornings ☕️🌞

A few sneak peaks from a maternity session with this beautiful family at their home over the weekend

I had the pleasure of taking photos for Theatre Whakatane Inc's production of Matilda and then attending Opening Night on Wednesday. It's a high-energy, hilarious show with a cast and crew bursting with talent and giving it a 110%! I recommend checking it out if you can. On stage at the Whakatāne Little Theatre until May 30. 🎭

📣Hello Friends!

Did you miss the sign-up for our last in-person cohort? Been patiently waiting for the online version? Well, I am excited to now offer one-off photography tutoring sessions called Field Sessions!

For less than the cost of a Mini Shoot, you can gain 1:1 "in the field" instruction and guidance from me! Perfect for the beginner, someone who has recently bought a new camera, or someone who has not taken a photo in quite some time. This 45-minute session can look at navigating your camera, basic camera functions or getting started taking photos.

To find out more about my field sessions, or updates on my other photography education offerings, feel free to check out my courses page at the link below: https://johnmorincreative.mypixieset.com/courses/

'Submerge'

A few captures from my recent self-portrait session down at Otarawairere Beach. There's real joy in going into nature and creating photos on-the-fly - seeing what inspires and challenges.

Would anyone be interested in a course on creative self-portraiture? 🤔📷

Kia ora friends! I have a few photographic prints from a previous print run which I am selling at a reduced price (50% off)!

Feel free to look through the images - sizes and prices are underneath. All are unmatted and unframed and must be picked up/dropped off in Whakatane/Ohope. Cheers!

📸 'BOKEH' Student Photography Exhibition

Thank you to family, friends, and the wider community for coming out over the weekend to support my photography students! 'BOKEH' showcased the final projects from the students of my Digital Photography for Beginners course. We also featured pieces submitted by participants in my two summer photography challenges - one for adults and one for kids.

I am incredibly proud of my students and all of their hard work, creativity, and commitment. And it was so wonderful to see them share their stories and points of view, holding meaningful conversations about art, storytelling, and identity with the people who attended on Sunday.

If you were able to see our exhibition, I would love to hear what you thought about it in the comments!
