"Great commercial photography goes beyond documenting a product or a person. It tells a story, and it connects ideas, conveying emotion and values, capturing the hearts and the minds of an audience in an image that tells a thousand words.
I want my images to tell the story of your industry and the people involved. I try to convey the purpose, scale, and innovation of what you do. The exact requirements will vary depending on your industry, its target audience, and its overall branding goals, which I enjoy working with you to define.
Overall, good l photography goes beyond just documenting machinery and workplaces. It’s about taking photos in a way that conveys your core values, and emotions, showcases the industrial processes, and captures the people and technology working together.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your requirements."

Alex Wallace
Corporate & industrial photographers
"Working with professional models is easy, for they are photogenic, relaxed and they know how to pose. And that makes a photographer’s job so much simpler. By contrast, most of my subjects are inexperienced and reluctant to have their photos taken at all - so it can be quite the challenge to coax a performance from them.
But this is what I do - and I do it well. Real subjects generally deliver the best images; honest depictions with charm and character. So if you want real good photos, of real people, doing real things... then get in touch."

Manja Wachsmuth
Advertising photographers
Manja Wachsmuth has won awards and fans with her impeccable Scandinavian sense of elegant composition, recently listed as a Lürzer’s Archive top 200 Ad photographer for the second time. Manja creates masterful food photography, captivating product shots, expressive portraiture and lifestyle imagery that intrigues.
Danish-born but now resident in Auckland, Manja's work is a testament to photographic power. From darkroom beginnings to culinary artistry, she has become a master of precision and purpose in commercial photography.
Manja believes in the profound impact of beautiful photos and compelling narratives. "Beautiful photos last. They tell your story year after year, through trends and seasons, failure and success. They shine with you. It's easy to think that any photo will do, but that's as untrue as any meal or any wine will do. I believe in beautiful photos.", says Wachsmuth.
Film Construction recently welcomed the consummate food and lifestyle photographer into its photography roster. To view Manja’s printed portfolio, contact Film Construction’s Belinda Bradley.

Amanda Aitken Photography
Interiors and Exteriors Photographers
"Seeking light and framing is a total obsession – camera in hand or not. I'm drawn to finding beauty, clarity, connection and form. While architecture and interiors are my specialty, I have a strong focus in industrial and brand photography.
At the age of 14, I started in the photo lab, printing in the days of film. After moving to London in 2002, I began my career shooting homes for a marketing firm working as the head photographer.
Back home in New Zealand, I’m constantly refining my craft and pushing creative boundaries, with attention to details. My calm manner has proved worthy in times of pressure over the last 20 years of pro shooting.
I enjoy time with my husband and two teenage girls, hiking and kayaking. With a history of diving in the Red Sea, swimming with great white sharks, hanging out of helicopters – I’m always up for adventure."
