Snow Leopard Photography

As a zoo fanatic and a big supporter of Wellington Zoo, taking a moment to relax, spend time with the beautiful Asha and Manju and take these photos was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in May 2024. The previous month had marked one year since their arrival at the zoo, and I was happy to have some quiet time with them.

These photos were later used in marketing campaigns and appeared on the maps and on zoo signage.

The photography was used by the zoo across social media, and they later asked if I would be happy with my photos being used in campaigns. In September 2024, the zoo announced snow leopard close encounters would be available, and the campaign began rolling out across Wellington in digital billboards, posters, and the official zoo map. The campaign was designed by the Zoo's incredible in-house creative team.

This was a dream come true for me, both as a photographer and fan of Wellington Zoo, and I could not have been prouder to see my images out in the wild.
