Virginia Woolf Photography

A natural creator since she was a child, Virginia first craved to be a fashion designer, but her doubting parents made her do food science instead. Undaunted, she funnelled her creative energy into creating and marketing new food products, but soon found herself in a boring corporate rut, so broke free to find her creative force again. She threw in everything to pursue her love of photography. She studied photographic design and trained as a press photographer for a national newspaper. Honing her craft shooting people in all sorts of situations and from all walks of life, she has travelled the world seeking adventure - her commitment to tell stories through her lens. Her career has seen her photograph luxury resorts in Fiji, fight the advances of a Papua New Guinean chief who needed a fourth wife, eat pig entrails in Japan (followed by lots of sake), and her favourite experience so far - sleeping under the stars in the Sahara. Based out of sunny Nelson New Zealand, she lives on a green hillside, bathed in natural light with an ever-changing view of the sea, and travels for a taste of excitement and exploration. She loves photographing people and places, capturing the stories she finds. Specialising in people & portraits, culture, travel, industry and architecture, you'll find more about her projects on https://virginiawoolfphotography.com/ and if you're looking for an exceptional photographer for your next project, please get in touch!
