More about Carina H....
What do you love about your job?
I absolutely love the endless creativity it offers. There's something incredibly fulfilling about capturing moments and turning them into timeless images that evoke emotions and tell stories. The constant learning and improvement process keeps me engaged and excited about my work. Whether it's experimenting with new techniques or exploring different subjects, each day behind the lens is an adventure filled with endless possibilities. I really enjoy how each shoot is unique, and I get to try out fresh concepts every time. And the cherry on top is the satisfaction of exceeding my client's expectations and seeing the joy my photos bring them.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done many types of shoots but I really enjoy couple and engagement shoots as I get to capture the couple's raw candid emotions by making them for example chase each other and have fun while completely ignore the camera. A lot of times I get told afterwards that they didn't expect to have so much fun when doing an engagement shoot.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
No awards but some of my work got featured in local magazines, NZ Herald news page and one of my wildlife photo got featured on Canon New Zealand.
A fun fact about this photographer
I studied business and worked in a big fashion company for a few years, then backpacked a year around whole Australia in a car and a tent and when settling down in New Zealand I decided it's time to devote myself to my true passion so I started my own photography business. I have a cat named Khaleesi who has her own instagram account which I grew to over 33K followers. My great grandfather was a popular painter back home and that's where I believe some of my creativity comes from.
