Recognised New Zealand Landscape and Wildlife Photographer

Kia ora and welcome to TheAfterWorkPhotographer.

I’m Sandy Brinsdon a New Zealand landscape and wildlife photographer based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

My photography has appeared in various magazines and calendars. Recognition of my photography blogs led to me being invited to travel with Tahiti Tourism. As an ambassador for ChristchurchNZ I explored the Canterbury region and produced photography blogs for tourism sites. These are just a few of my photography accomplishments, all done in my free time, hence calling myself the TheAfterWorkPhotographer.

As you browse my website I hope you are inspired to travel around New Zealand and pick up some tips from my overseas travel.
