Auckland is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, in my opinion. Due to its rare combination of gorgeous beaches, clean city streets, breathtaking waterfalls, vast forests (housing beautiful native trees), and volcanic cones boasting wonderful 360-degree vistas of the city, it is one of the best locations in New Zealand for engagement images. You have a plethora of choices for engagement photos! This blog post will go over my personal favourite places in Auckland for engagement images.
The fact that you can see the sun rise at the beginning of the day and set at the end of the day is one of Auckland's most special features. This is due to the fact that it has both an east and a west coast, and it is situated on a very narrow piece of land on a map. This function is uncommon in New Zealand (or anywhere else for that matter). This list is based on my own experience photographing engagement shoots in Auckland; I've done a lot of them and am very familiar with the locations.
She claims it suits her because it is in the heart of Europe, has a thriving art scene, and living in the city isn't prohibitively costly. However, the bulk of her art is still on display at Two Rooms Gallery in New Zealand. She has received several art awards, including the Metro Canon Young Photographers Award in 2007 and the prestigious international Renaissance Photography Competition in 2015. In 2017, she was awarded the five-month Tylee Cottage residency in Wanganui, with the mission of exploring the Whanganui River's waterways.
This body of work took a watery turn of its own. She eventually focused on colonial imposition, the use of water as a natural resource, and human consumption of the landscape. She is also interested in landscape sites in transition, and one of her works from the Scenic Potential series is on display at the Fair. It's a striking black and white print that appears to be a massive mountain range but is really a pile of rocks on a Berlin construction site. Her water project was finished in Berlin, and her exhibition, Ground Water Mirror, will open in June at Two Rooms Gallery. According to Conor, the overriding theme is the self-reflective qualities of water, not just in the landscape but also within ourselves.
Conor, too, seems to be pondering the photographic process. “Photography is never fully correct. It's just half-truth.” And that's the definition she's so good at grappling with. Ann Shelton is an ex-press journalist, much like Tamara Dean. Ann is also one of the most well-known art photo studio in auckland. Even though her photos appear to be pretty as an image on the surface, they reveal backgrounds of hidden truths.
Take, for example, her most recent body of work, a collection of striking floral arrangements against moody-colored backdrops in the Ikebana style of floristry, which is on show at the Two Rooms Gallery stand. Plants are "pared back and manipulated" in this highly polished and contrived floral arrangement, she says. But, in terms of dark mysteries, what could a few stems in a vase possibly conjure up?
She says she wanted to create a body of work that looked at environmental problems as well as early settler life. Rather than flowers, the vases feature plant species brought to New Zealand by colonial settlers. She uses the black wattle plant in her work titled "The Banshee, Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) 2017." This invasive plant may appear sweet with its cheery yellow flowers, but it was brought to New Zealand by settlers for use in the tanning industry — the bark was dried, crushed, and sold for hide tanning. The trees were infected by a fungus soon after their introduction, making them useless. The settlers had no idea that the tree's seeds could remain dormant in the ground for up to 50 years, and that the tree would germinate in response to any soil disturbance. As a result, the tree has become an invasive species. Ann explains, "The tree's long-term usage value backfired."
The pine in the work ‘The Dowager, Pine (Pinus radiata) 2017' could be defined in the same way. It begs the question, who is your friend and who is your foe? If you've recently visited the Marlborough Sounds, you'll notice a lot of dead pines. They're being destroyed by conservationists to make room for native trees that have been forced out by the pine. Ann's foliage is expertly arranged in hand-picked containers, all of which she finds on TradeMe. They are striking in their own right because they refer to the arts and crafts movement, which was basically an anti-industrialist movement, as she describes, adding to the irony of the works.
Some of the pots are German, some are Alienware, and some are Amphora ceramics from Bohemia, which produced fine Amphora art pottery from 1892 to the 1940s and is now part of Austria and Czechoslovakia.
