I'm Ainsley. An international body positive portrait and travel photographer based in between Paris and New Zealand. I specialise in making people feel beautiful and capturing those special, natural moments that might have normally gone unseen. Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, I spent four years living in Paris and could not completely give up la vie Française, so now I try to split my time between the two- summers in New Zealand and summers in Paris (though recently this hasn't quite worked as planned!) With a background in photojournalism, I approach my work with the eye of a documentary photographer and edit as a fine art photographer. This means that my shoots are fun and natural but you still end up with beautifully crafted images. I'm not into photo-sessions which are overly posed and staged, I work mainly with natural light and try my best to capture those real genuine moments. |
If this sounds like what you're looking for, please get in touch to see how we can make some magic happen!
I look forward to capturing your love, family, work, passion or beautiful self.

DS DocumentaryDocumentary and travel photography is my passion outside of commercial photography. Taking photos that expose the lesser parts of the world and important issues affecting its most vulnerable people is what makes me tick.
