ABOUT ME

Heya! My names Elke. I'm an Australian, currently residing in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. If you've made it to my print store then you've proabably already gathered I'm pretty into photography and all things ocean/adventure! You'll usually find me touring around with my boyfriend Rambo in our camper van Debbie, exploring the coastlines in search of waves or epic landscapes. Documenting our little adventures has become somewhat of an obsession, and I love sharing it!

My interest in photography stems back to my studies at high school where we were given an old Minolta film camera, some black and white film, and told to go nuts. We learnt the developing process in a dark room and I think it was at that point, the sciencey side of me that also likes dark, quiet, and solitary places, really fell in love with photography. My appreciation for it grew even more when I started travelling the globe and experiencing rich cultures and amazing scenery.

Besides photography, my other passions fall in the realm of film making, op shopping, vintage wares, petting our cat Big Boi, and tea. I'm also pretty into anything creative and you'll often find me dabbling in other forms of the arts such as painting, crafts, and design!
