Christchurch & South Island

Creating destination photography to showcase Christchurch and the wider South Island, supporting the airport’s role in attracting visitors directly into the region. Working with regional tourism operators, we captured authentic experiences that celebrated the people, places and landscapes of the South Island, with kaitiakitanga helping shape how those stories were told.
