Nykie and Helen

City:

Auckland, New Zealand

Loves working with:

Any fun-hearted business that puts their unique human strengths at the forefront of what they do. Mostly small - medium businesses and entrepreneurs who know that putting their authentic selves first cuts through the bullsh*t and attracts their ideal clients. They're not afraid of imperfections and all the things that make us, us.

Photoshoot locations:

- Custom locations such as clients own homes & business premises.

- Hire content studios all over Auckland and love to play with lights & colour.

- Photojournalistic style urban and street photography using unique backdrops to grab attention. (think architecture, rooftops & city scapes and grungy rad alley ways)

Photography style / aesthetic:

We have been described as "uncluttered", our person is the hero, the composition is designed to push the viewer to appreciate their unique humanness. We're fun, laid back and real. You won't see intense photo editing that makes you look unapproachable, but we are masters of light and will help you look your best.

Loves working with:

I love working with women entrepreneurs and small business owners. Women in creative fields like designers (fashion/graphic/homeware), ceramicists, artists etc and the wellness industry for example naturopaths, nutritionists, yoga teachers etc. Vibe is fun, creative, casual and passionate about what they do.

Photoshoot locations:

Clients own space eg. office/studio/home.

Content studios.

Natural light studios.

Hired houses/AirBnBs.

Outdoor locations eg. beach/park/city.

Photography style / aesthetic:

Natural, thoughtful, and full of purpose. I’m all about capturing the real stuff — connection, soul, detail, feeling — in a way that’s elevated but still totally true to my clients. My style leans clean, modern and warm, with a big focus on storytelling.
