About — Andy MacDonald

Kia ora,

I’m a photographer and filmmaker based in Wellington, capturing the wild beauty of Aotearoa and the stories that shape us.

For over 15 years, I’ve been telling New Zealand stories through images that are bold, human, and full of life. My work has featured in New Zealand Geographic, North & South, and the Sunday Star Times, and in 2022 I was named New Zealand Geographic Photographer of the Year, also taking out Best Aerial Photograph.

My camera takes me from windswept coastlines to the heart of small communities, documenting the moments that connect us to each other and to this place we call home.

When I’m not shooting, you’ll find me off the beaten track, chasing light, stories, and the next adventure.
