The Stories, People and Inspirations behind small and local businesses in New Zealand.
Follow my project as it is born from an idea and grows up into a hardcopy photo book for your coffee table or bookshelf. The effects of Covid-19 on job stability and livelihoods have been devastating for many. The #shoplocal movement brought the community together and also gave others motivation to start brand new businesses. I want to seek out amazing, heartbreaking, and inspirational stories of innovation and determination to share with you through my art.
These businesses may be small, however, their story is anything but.
