Summer is nearly here in New Zealand – bathed in amazing light with long daylight hours, it's the ultimate country for diversity. There's an incredible range of stunning locations with beaches, cities, geysers, volcanoes, deserts, country towns, open fields, dramatic mountain ranges and epic roads.

And most importantly, these locations are all close to each other.

''Because we’re a multicultural country, there's also a diversity of talent in front of the camera too. We know you’ve always wanted to come to New Zealand – we’ll help you make it a reality!''

Though Scott has built a career photographing the famous, he’s just as interested in capturing the lives of ordinary human beings. “I love working with everyday people in their own environments,” he says.

McAulay’s skill in creating compelling portraits is evident in both his commercial and personal work. He’s shot the stars of TV shows as Shortland Street, The Block, The Bachelor, Filthy Rich, and Step Dave, as well as New Zealand’s top news and entertainment talent. He spent two months on location in Nicaragua shooting Survivor, and while there, began his project In My Ute, documenting the hitchhikers he picked up each day. Photographs of his young son Oscar have also sent his work in a new direction. “I’ve photographed a broad spectrum of people, and tend to get on well with everyone,”.

McAulay was raised in Birkenhead, Auckland, where his father owned a pharmacy for more than 45 years. It was here that he discovered his interests in photography and people. “My dad had a great rapport with his customers, and I pretty much grew up in that pharmacy, spending a lot of my afternoons helping out.” McAulay has indulged his childhood in one of his most recent personal projects, a portrait series of local shop owners called Birkenhead. “Dad used to drop me at school, and I remember holding his hand and looking up at him as we walked,” he says. “With this project, I’m looking up to everyday business owners who are working hard to make a living.”

''It’s pretty tough'', he says, having a shop and doing it all yourself – and this sense of equality and empathy is exactly what makes his images stand out. “My work is about making everyday people look strong and a little heroic in whatever they do.”

Graeme Murray loves creating - his whole career has been in the image industry. After training in professional photography, his early days saw him working at one of New Zealand’s top audio/visual production companies creating, developing and producing product launches using various types of multi-media - from theatrical lighting, to video/slide projection and interactive graphics, to set design and the most fun: pyrotechnics. During that time he travelled around NZ, Australia and the Pacific. After a period working in television production, the desire to be shooting led him to run his own successful photography business.

Graeme now works with clients and agencies across portraiture, people, lifestyle and sport for advertising. His prior experience in AV and TV has been translated into his photography work, so dealing with any situation has become effortless. He has a great rapport with clients and production crews and goes beyond the norm to make sure a shoot exceeds expectations.
