Capturing the Beauty of People and Place

 

Welcome to my world of Shifting Light

Behind every great photograph is a story waiting to be told. I'm Keith Maynard, the award-winning photographer behind Shifting Light Photography. Now based in New Zealand's beautiful Bay of Islands. I've spent more than 15 years capturing authentic portraits, breathtaking landscapes, and meaningful moments that reflect the people and places I photograph.


My approach is relaxed and natural, helping clients feel comfortable in front of the camera while creating images that are genuine, timeless, and full of personality. As a photography tutor, I'm equally passionate about sharing my knowledge and inspiring others to develop their own creative vision.


Whether you're looking for professional portraits, memorable event photography, or images that tell your unique story, I'd love to help bring your vision to life.

Keith is incredibly intuitive, eases you in to feeling comfortable and is very knowledgeable about what to do and when. Keith also captures those impromptu/ unexpected snapshots that often are some of the best pictures.  

Love his work, will definitely get more work done when he is in town.
