About

With 25 years’ experience as electro-technical systems engineer in steel, plastics, tobacco, timber and super-yacht fields, Keith has set up a successful commercial photography business with one of his clients being the Upper Hutt City Council. One project in particular besides covering events was showcasing local businesses and the Upper Hutt region. Born in London, he moved to New Zealand when he was ten years old and now enjoys living with magnificent views of Upper Hutt.

 

Having lived and worked around the world, Keith has been presented with many photographic opportunities including time amongst ancient mountain-top villages in Spain, five years aboard super-yachts - swimming with Manta rays in the Andaman Islands and photographing whales breaching in the Dominican Republic. His photographs have been published in yachting magazines (winning three awards), pictorial calendars, marketing material for UHCC and local businesses, Track and Wheel magazine, local newspapers such as the Upper Hutt Leader and Valley Living.

 

Keith has been a photographer since he was at school and when starting out as an amateur he was most passionate about people and landscapes. Since then, his engineering background has stood him in good stead for mastering the technical side of photography needed for product, corporate and architectural photography. Aerial photography is also a passion.

 

An eternal optimist, Keith enjoys creating something beautiful from whatever he sees – local events, people, products, iconic landmarks and scenery and even nuts and bolts.

Proud to call Upper Hutt home, Keith appreciates its diverse and beautiful city surrounded by lush parks, hills, reserves and the iconic Hutt River.
