Kia Ora, my name is Laraine, I'm 38 years of age and currently reside in Feilding.

My photography journey started in 2023 visiting family in Canada and marvelling at snowflakes. Last year I completed the Introductory and Intermediate certificates at UCOL and discovered I am very passionate about black and white, minimalism, and macro photography.

This exhibition is inspired by and in honour of a friend who helped me through one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Thank you for holding me when no-one else knew how, hope I've made you proud.

Aroha mai, Aroha atu.
