BIO / LIV VAN LEEUWEN

I am an award winning Christchurch based photographer. Preferring to work with natural light, my work draws from my desire to focus on storytelling and capturing raw, cinematic moments for editorial as well as couples and families.

SERVICES

  • I shoot raw, emotion filled couple and wedding photography. I want to capture the real, authentic stuff. The fierce love that binds you together. Cinematic in style, like your very own romance film. I want to work with you to create a shoot that encapsulates the things that make you, you. And who you are, together. Learn more about working with me.

  • Preferring to shoot with natural light, my editorial photography work is creative and purpose driven. 

    Telling the story of a brand or business is what I do best. I have experience working with publications like Homestyle, Sage Journal, Shepherdess, Oh Baby and On the Land. I'm Christchurch based, but available across New Zealand for commercial and editorial work. Learn more about what I do here.

  • I’m available for newborn, maternity and family photography (in Christchurch and across New Zealand).

    We can take pictures wherever you are most comfortable. A home session can be intimate and raw, it's like a time capsule that will endure long after your kids are grown and you've moved to a new home. Equally, there is nothing I love more than sharing an adventure during a session together. It's the best way to take the pressure off, for the kids to run wild and to just have fun together, doing something you love.

  • My architectural photography draws heavily on composition and light, and uses both elements to accentuate the form and design of each space. I believe shooting with natural light perfectly captures the intricacies of architectural design, sharing with the observer a journey curated by the architect themselves. I work with architects, landscape architects, high end construction companies, and interior designers to capture beautiful spaces and translate design into captivating imagery.
