about

こんにちは !

hi, i’m baz.

I’m a street & travel photographer currently based in Auckland, New Zealand.

My passion for photography started when I traveled to Tokyo, Japan in 2018. Hoping to capture a culture vastly different to my own, I originally purchased my first enthusiast camera with the goal of archiving my journey. Soon, it developed into something more - a new outlet for creativity, a constant source of curiosity & an opportunity to explore the world around me.

Now, I aim to use photography to share how I view the world, its cultures & its people. I only hope to inspire others to seek out the beauty that surrounds them.

Thank you for stopping by!

Re-editing and reposting my personal favs from the year.

Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.”

as it is itself the revelation.”
