As we move through the final stretch of winter, nature begins to stir. The light shifts, colours return, and inspiration starts to bloom. Our latest issue celebrates this quiet transformation through stories and images that explore the emotional and expressive power of photography.
In this issue, you’ll meet Erin Robson, whose journey from childhood curiosity to bird photography reminds us of the peace and connection that creativity can bring.
Peter Laurenson shares the story behind his breathtaking new book Aotearoa Light, blending landscapes with a call to care for our world.
We also catch up with long-time community member and professional photographer Parmeet Sahni, who opens up about her soulful approach to newborn photography.
We’re proud to feature highlights from our Mindfulness Month challenge, where photographers explored stillness, presence and reflection. And don’t miss the fresh and surprising perspectives from the young photographers of our Art of Seeing Academy. Their work is full of bold ideas, curious observations and pure visual joy.
Take a moment, flip through the pages, and let this issue inspire you to notice more, feel more, and create with meaning.
Happy reading and photographing!
