I'm Jono, a Wellington photographer exploring nature and our connection to place

Collections & Projects

  • Earth

    This gallery features images taken inland—away from the shifting coast—where the landscape tells a quieter, more grounded story. Here, human presence is etched into fields, roads, structures, and terrain, offering subtle clues about how we live with and shape the land. From rural backroads to built environments nestled in nature, these photos explore the complex relationship between people and place, revealing moments of harmony, tension, and change across Aotearoa’s inland environments.

  • Sea

    This gallery features images taken at or near the sea, capturing the unique interplay between water, land, and human presence. Through these photographs, you’ll see how the rhythms of the ocean shape coastal landscapes and how people have left their marks along the shore, highlighting the delicate balance and ongoing dialogue between nature and human life.

  • Urban

    This gallery captures the pulse of urban and city environments, showcasing images that explore the interplay between human activity and the built landscape. From busy streets and architectural details to hidden corners and everyday moments, these photographs reveal the diverse ways people inhabit, shape, and are influenced by the city around them.

  • Second Nature - Book Project

    This project is a quiet exploration of the evolving relationship between human-made structures and the natural environment. Through a curated collection of images, the work examines how built forms, both temporary and enduring, coexist with, disrupt, respond to, and sometimes are reclaimed by the landscapes they inhabit.
