Growing up amongst the bucolic beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Northland region, Jacki Key was marked with a passion for the natural world at a young age. A commercial and documentary photographer based in Tauranga, Jacki now focusses that passion through her lens to tell stories of the land. Her varied projects have seen the photographer bear witness to environmental destruction, shine a light on social injustice, and lift up those who seek to protect and nurture.
Whether exploring the abundant isolation of the forest or documenting the grinding gears of industry, embedding herself within a lively community or creating intimate personal portraits; Jacki’s images are about connection. Connecting with others, understanding our impact on the earth, and bridging differences to celebrate what unifies us.
