My mission through the lens

About Andrew Meadows.
My name is Andrew Meadows, I am based in Christchurch, New Zealand however I spend most of my time living in Fiji which allows me time with my family and my partner. I am currently pursuing a Diploma in Photography through the Southern Polytechnic. My journey began with a deep appreciation for New Zealand's unique environment during the covid lockdown which lead me to focus on wild bird life and experimental creative photography. I'm dedicated to sharing these images and using them to advocate for conservation. I enjoy all aspects of photography especially monochrome and creative photography. I started playing around taking photos with my small digital l camera during the lockdown period. It was one activity for me to do so I wouldn't get bord having to remain at home in my bubble. Since lockdown photography has developed into a passion of mine which gives me a sense of purpose in life.
