Architecture 101

Commercial Photography by Doug Mountain for Shand Shelton: The War Memorial Theatre, Gisborne.

Shand Shelton, New Zealand's leading architecture firm specialising in live performance & creative spaces, came to us recently with a request to photograph the War Memorial Theatre in Gisborne. Their wish: to enter the images into several industry competitions, including the prestigious  NZIA  Regional Awards  After 40 years, this venue was upgraded and fully earthquake strengthened, creating a modern, functional and safe theatre, for up to 500 guests. 

Our man Doug Mountain was just the photographer for this job: With his inimitable eye for line and form and his love of architecture, he was sure to find the angles and shots that would wow the judges. See for yourself, these images need no further explanation. The beauty is in the details and sometimes, it can be found in the most surprising elements that would otherwise be overlooked.

That is why our clients choose Woolf Photography for their commercial projects: Our team is made up of professional individuals who see things others can't through their lens and bring beauty to life in their images. Judge for yourself.

Smitten with a kitten

Family Photography for Pet Lovers: Meet Mara the Silver Burmese pussy cat...

Lyn brought her kitten Mara for a photo shoot in our Wellington City Photography Studio last month...

Mara, a 5-month old silver Burmese, is Lyn’s baby, and Lyn was keen to get a series of photos that convey the love and emotion she feels for this kitten.

We had so much fun! Mara explored the Studio and posed beautifully for Jess Dewsnap, one of our talented Portrait Photographers. Of course, the doors of the Studio were shut and the area was secured (in case Mara escaped!), but this beautiful kitten was so good,  Jess managed to capture the strong connection between them both.

So next time you are thinking of booking a Family Portrait Shoot, feel free to include your pet (in our Studio or in a location of your choice!) - after all, they are a huge part of the family- they bring laughter, cuddles and unconditional love. 

So Pet Lovers, Call Toni if you have any questions regarding Pet  and Family Photography on (04) 917 68 61.

Remember: Christmas is around the corner, and Family photos make a beautiful gift. You can also check out our Vouchers for more ideas on giving this Christmas.
