Meet Coni
I’ve been teaching photography since 2020 and have had the joy of guiding hundreds of students — from absolute beginners picking up their first camera, to watching them grow into award-winning photographers.
Today, my focus is on LensLife — a photography community of chilled, welcoming photographers of all levels who learn, share and wander together.
I’m also building digital resources to help photographers all around the world move beyond auto, master their craft and find their own creative voice.
Take amazing long exposure & landscape photos with filters
Silky waterfalls, dreamy seascapes, balanced skies and richer colour — NiSi filters are the tool I trust in the field, and the ones I put in my students’ hands. As an official NiSi reseller in Aotearoa, I can help you pick the right kit for your camera and the way you shoot.
Love photography… but can’t get off the couch?
LensLife is a chilled, welcoming community of photographers of all levels. Monthly themes, honest image reviews, location tips, live calls with Coni — and a circle of wanderers who’ll actually get you out shooting.
