POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

One year on. New Delhi 2025. 🇳🇿

A little late, but here’s a look back at the World Para Athletics Championships last year, where I had the privilege of documenting Team New Zealand on the world stage.

A remarkable group of athletes, and a championship I won’t forget.

Thank you to @athleticsnz for the opportunity and to the athletes for allowing me to tell a small part of their stories through my lens.

NZ Fashion Week may now be over this year, but what happened on this runway was pure impact.

Seeing disabled models command this space isn’t just a moment for the fashion industry—it’s a shift in culture. It’s about redefining power, capability, and who belongs in the spotlight.

The impact goes far beyond the clothes. Proud is an understatement. ✨

@allisforall models were @mollykatedances wore @winniecatherine_ and @chelseapita_ wore @zambesisince79 in the @nzhviva Greatest Hits Shows
