BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Jules 

At home near the sea I'm always chasing the light in our beautiful landscape. Capturing the moment that is only there for a short time.

Raised in a family where photography’s importance was paramount for telling stories and events of our family life, I soon realised at a young age I needed to also document my life stories through the camera.
My extensive understanding of the purest form of photography, that began in the darkroom of a past era, has enabled me to master the camera and create a style that captures the play of light and mood within land and sea. The West Coast of the South Island is a stunning location for dramatic and beautiful imagery as you can view on my landscape page.
My desire to learn more about photography and art took me to Wellington and Christchurch Polytechnic’s gaining a Diploma in Professional Photography.
My camera is my tool to communicate life stories of people and the landscape we live in.
