Esther Bunning

Esther Bunning is a story-teller dreamer and artist who uses a camera as a creative tool, and she has a style that is both instantly recognisable and difficult to pin down. Drawn to quiet beauty and resplendent light, she weaves elements in a dreamy pastiche that tends to provide the viewer with a glimpse of the subject. Her creative vision, coupled with a gleeful willingness to play with idiosyncratic gear has evolved to include the intricacies, depth, and layers of details both photographing people, and landscapes – details otherwise perhaps unseen. She is recognised as one of New Zealand’s finest portrait photographers and she is a Nikon Ambassador for New Zealand, an Asukabook Ambassador for Australasia, and an Honorary Fellow of the NZIPP (NZ Institute of Professional Photography)
