Leigh Jeffery | Arrowtown

I'm a freelance photographer working with local businesses and individuals to create brand imagery. I work with families to capture precious ages and stages. I've always been drawn to authentic moments, that instinct carried me into a deeper personal practice exploring the landscape and seasons of Central Otago.

I work across various photographic techniques including multiple exposure, intentional camera movement (ICM), and close macro photography. Each one asks something different of me - returning to a scene again and again, surrendering control, stopping to view a world most people walk past without noticing. I try to find an unrepeatable moment, whether that's a fleeting seasonal colour or the geometry hiding inside a frost crystal.I love the distinct seasons of this region. These are my endless inspiration year on year.

I also run iPhone Photography Workshops for small groups - whether you love taking photos and want to go deeper, or you're a business owner wanting to level up your brand imagery. These are fun, hands-on, and honestly one of my favourite things to do.
