BURST MODE...with Coops'

BURSTMODE…coming soon! a limited series podcast featuring bite-sized interviews with photographers from Aotearoa New Zealand, and further afield, created by Lucy Cooper and supported by the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography.

Burst Mode’s format is simple: each photographer is asked the same 10 questions, and the interviews are generally around 15-20 minutes long, bringing you closer to some of Aotearoa’s most influential image-makers in the time it takes you to go for a quick stroll with the dog.

'Do it for love and for me....

‘Darlin' take all the time that you're given
Be all you know you can be
And if you need a reason for livin'
Do it for love and for me’

The song lyrics that feature on the slipcase of beautiful portrait books (have I mentioned how much I LOVE putting books together..?! : )

I was super proud to hand over these two coffee table books of an extended family that i’ve had the privilege to photograph over many years now… this time photographed here in Greytown. Orchards, puddles (and magical reflections that feature on both the slipcase and the book cover itself) and spring colour, and some beautiful monochrome goodness.

And love and snuggles, and tickles and fun and laughter. Oodles of this with this gorgeous family.
