A creative journey began in Clevedon, Papakura, Auckland, New Zealand.
DM Jepsen Photography grew out of friendly encouragement and a growing love for sharing stories through the lens with portraits. I started close to home, Clevedon, Papakura. Starting with portraits of wildlife birds. Building my Facebook page and gradually finding myself capturing the real moments that make the greater Papakura area, then greater Auckland areas uniqueness through portraits. Today, I help people and animals across the region feel comfortable as I capture their stories in portraits. Always with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach.
All portraits regardless of where it is taken, is given the same time, personal attention in a relaxed, friendly, down-to-earth approach.
Check out some my wildlife portraits from as close as home, Clevedon, Papakura to wider New Zealand and as far as Africa. Some from my travels to Australia and Africa. These will give you an idea of my style and whether it is the type of style you are wanting. Each photo taken and edited by me personally. Available framed in a range of sizes - A1-A4.
I don't keep personal portraits on either my website or social media pages. I believe these are taken as personal portraits, not as everyone from around the world as authorized right to view them unless this is of course some you want done with your photographs.
