Ruby Kawiti

Kia ora, Ruby here! (Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Pāoa)
I am a Te Tai Tokerau based photographer. I was raised in Northland and later graduated from Ilam School of Fine Arts in Ōtautahi. My Fine Art practice navigates whenua, whakapapa, the human condition and psychological landscapes.

I also work commercially for events, portraiture and marketing photography. I am also a hobbyist book-maker and can assist with your projects in design and digitisation.
