VOTING PROCESS

E te whānau, I’m stoked as to be a finalist in the New Zealand Geographic Photographer of the Year awards again this year. My portraits of Todd Couper and Te Atawhai Kumar are both finalists in the portrait division and are both in the running for people’s choice!

I’m even MORE stoked to be a finalist alongside my mates Erica Sinclair Cornell Tukiri Joshua McCormack Mike Scott • Visual Journalist

Voting for the people’s choice award is open now (link in my bio) and we would love it if you can vote for our work and get it recognized as the people’s choice. Kei a koutou te mana!

Instructions: you have to scroll through the images and select your top 5 by clicking the heart button. Once you’ve selected your top 5, it will ask for your email address. Your vote is only counted after doing this step, just clicking the heart doesn’t count.

A masterpiece from the master Todd Couper

I’m constantly in awe of the masterpieces that Todd creates and am so grateful to have his Manurei as my tohu, as the symbol that represents me and what I do in my mahi.

Last night he and Ange Couper turned up with to dinner with a koha, a beautful print of his original eagle carving that my Manurei is based on.

He’s printing whakaahua of some of his works on Chromalux, the same medium I use for my exhibition prints and I recon this is an awesome way to be able to have some of his mahi in your whare. If you’re interested, you can check out his website https://www.toddcouper.com/

Toi Māori at its finest!

Save me!

As in, save this post for friends and whānau who have questions about getting enrolled to vote in time for the General Election 2026.

Voting is contagious - the more people we have voting early, the easier it’ll be for everyone on the day.

Drama free voting means:
Checking details / Getting enrolled NOW
Getting others enrolled by the 4th of Oct

Tāiki E - Your Enrolment festival is happening from the 7th-20th of September. People across the country are getting together to make sure their whānau, neighbours, colleagues and mates are enrolled to vote in time for the election.

The stakes are higher than ever before. This year, we need EVERYONE enrolled to vote in time so they can have a say in the direction of our future. This government has made voting more challenging for many of our friends and whānau who might have already been struggling. That’s why we’re putting our energy into getting people enrolled and making sure we’ve all got the right info!

The past two and half years we have shown who we are as a people: united, caring and not afraid of a challenge.

Ngātahitanga in action ✊🏾

Te ātaahua o te ahurea Māori ✨ Māori Excellence ✨

I was looking back through my camera roll and saw this beautiful video of Hikawai Te Nahu singing “He Kōnui, he Kōroa” with Ngahuia Hona-Paku & Ruihana Te Nahu inside my wharetūpuna, Ngāti Ruamahue while I received my Mataora.

I’m so grateful to experience magical moments like this where we are just being our amazing Māori selves. Any little moment, on any given day we have these beautiful expressions of creativity, of talent, of beauty, of power, and sometimes we take them for granted.

Not today.

I just want to call our attention back to noticing these moments as the happen around us. And to encourage us to celebrate them when they happen. Capture them. Share them so that we can all enjoy them and bask in the beauty of our people and our culture.

- use this hashtag and post up a magical moment from your camera roll, tag me in it and I’ll reshare it so we can all enjoy!

Mauri ORA!

Big ups to my cuzaunt Trina Ann for capturing this video 😊
