About lumina trails

Anyone can create a beautiful image, but art requires a question. Before every click of the shutter, I ask myself: What is the emotion we are trying to convey?

Driven by a desire to move past traditional landscape photography and finding tranquility in the dark, Lumina Trails is an exploration of light, movement, and human presence. The name itself reflects the journey of night photography, an adventure that requires scouting in the daylight and embracing the beautiful chaos of the wilderness after dark. From remote riverbeds to historic ruins, the environment dictates the story.

WORKSHOPS

Lumina Trails offers group and private light painting workshops across New Zealand throughout the year. You’ll learn how to shape light into striking, creative images like those in the gallery, experimenting with movement, timing, and exposure in real environments.

We work with changing conditions, embrace the unexpected, and keep things hands-on and enjoyable. Light painting has transformed the way I see the world, and these workshops are about sharing that creative freedom with you.
