Welcome to Jacqui Stokes Photography! I’m thrilled to share my love of photography with you. Here, you’ll find a variety of galleries that showcase my passion for capturing the beauty of nature and the world around us.

Photography as Art

This is where I explore creative angles, textures, and light. These photos are all about seeing the world differently and finding beauty in the everyday. I love experimenting with my camera to create unique and interesting images that make you stop and think.

Birds

In the this section, you’ll find photos of New Zealand’s amazing bird life. I love getting out there and watching birds in their natural habitats. From cheeky little fantails to majestic albatrosses, each bird has its own charm. I try to capture their personalities and the beauty of their surroundings.

Nature

My gallery features a mix of wildlife and natural landscapes. I’m always amazed by the variety of life in New Zealand, from the lush forests to the rugged coastlines. I enjoy capturing these moments to show the wild and wonderful side of nature.

Flowers

Flowers have a special place in my heart. I adore capturing the colours and delicate details of flowers, whether they’re in my garden or out in the wild. Each flower has its own story, and I love sharing these moments of beauty.

Landscapes

Lastly, my landscapes gallery showcases the stunning scenery of New Zealand. From rolling hills to serene lakes, I’m always in awe of the natural beauty around us. I try to capture these landscapes in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there with me.

Thanks for visiting my website! I hope you enjoy exploring my galleries and find as much joy in these photos as I do in taking them.

Photography has always been a big part of my life. I love the way it lets me connect with the world around me. Every time I pick up my camera, I feel excited to see what I can capture. There’s so much beauty in nature, and I enjoy finding new ways to share that through my photos.

Flower Photography

Flower photography is truly my passion. I’m fascinated by the colours, shapes, and textures of different flowers. I love getting up close and capturing the tiny details that you might not notice at first glance. Whether it’s the soft petals of a rose or the bold colours of a sunflower, every flower has a story to tell. I like trying out different creative styles with my flower photography, experimenting with light, shadows, and angles to bring out the best in each bloom.

Landscape Photography

When I’m not in the garden or photographing flowers, I’m out exploring the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. There’s nothing quite like being on the road, discovering new places, and taking in the stunning scenery. From the snow-capped mountains to the rolling hills and the rugged coastlines, New Zealand’s landscapes are incredibly diverse. I love capturing these different environments and showcasing the natural beauty of our country. Every trip is a new adventure, and I never get tired of the ever-changing views.

Bird Photography

Bird photography is another area I enjoy. There’s something peaceful about watching birds go about their day. I find it relaxing to sit quietly and observe them in their natural habitat. Whether it’s a native Tui singing in a tree or a group of seabirds on the shore, birds bring a sense of calm and joy to my photography. I aim to capture their unique behaviours and the beauty of their feathers, and I hope my photos encourage others to appreciate these amazing creatures as much as I do.

Photography, for me, is about more than just taking pictures. It’s a way to see the world differently, to notice the details, and to appreciate the beauty in everyday moments. I hope that through my photos, others can feel a little bit of the joy and wonder that I feel when I’m out there with my camera.
