The Black and White Picture

Black and White Portrait Photography

Portraits

These pictures were taken in New Zealand (my home) and London (where I go from time to time). The people you see work in the creative industries and other professions that range from architects to teachers, to accountants.

A little about me

These portraits were taken by me, David, a New Zealand based photographer. The locations in London were Shoreditch, Pimlico, Camden and Haringey. In New Zealand, the locations were in Auckland and Mount Maunganui and Papamoa in the Bay of Plenty.

I have portraits of artists too if they’re your cup of tea. The artists include musicians, actors, and more.
