About us

Chris Daniels is a location advertising photographer but with his roots in photojournalism he also covers events, weddings and other special occasions for newspapers, magazines or individual clients. Based in North Canterbury he mostly shoots for clients in Christchurch and Canterbury but don’t mind travelling.

Chris also combines his interest in computer software with his eye for composition to design and develop websites for small businesses and organisations.

In 2008 Chris left "busy" Europe and moved to New Zealand and with the astonishing scenery surrounding us here his nature and scenery photography has had a rebirth.

Chris has been educated in the traditional and digital art and craft of photography from large format view cameras all the way to the science of today's digital capturing devices. He brings over 25 years of hands-on photography, advertising and publishing experience to the table and has been involved in just about every scenario and aspect of professional photography.
Chris also has a past in sales/marketing and management and as former CEO of one of New Zealands internet & communications companies Chris has valuable experience when it comes to communicating your products and services to the market.

We prefer shooting on location but if the situation requires we don’t mind working in the studio doing e.g. product photography.
Today most of the work is done with Nikon pro level digital equipment but if required we do film, both 35mm and medium format.
