Sustain - NZ Herald Visual Journalists

Presented in partnership with Auckland Festival of Photography 2025. In response to the theme this year for 2025, Sustain [tautinei], NZ Herald photographers share their work.

NZ Herald photographers and New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) photographers are always tasked with obtaining an image that reflects and illustrates the key visual of a story, to unlock interest and engage the viewer. NZME's 2025 exhibition for AFP invites the viewer to view photography as it relates to 'Sustain' [tautinei], from the cultural aspects of our country, be they our tangata whenua's kaupapa, endangered species, or our national sports culture. (Includes work for the Northern Advocate, Hawkes Bay Today, Bay of Plenty Times and Whanganui Chronicle)
