I’m Alan Gibson, an award-winning New Zealand photographer specialising in capturing our rural and commercial stories with a sense of authenticity and respect for the subjects and their journey.
My work is indicative of a country bloke who sees the value in recording and celebrating the can-do kiwi attitude, incorporating impressions from my rural upbringing, with a sense of earthy surrealism and gritty reality that captures the essence of what it is to work and play in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
With a lifetime of experience recording the very best and worst of life, I strive to deliver honesty and style that speaks about my many years of journalistic photography both here in New Zealand and overseas.
Working at the coalface of humanity I have cultivated compassion and insight into my work, and have learnt how to capture the ’empathy or impact’ that reflects the brief and illustrates the point.
