Ian Preece

The photographer’s career began in 2009, partnering with Hindustan Trekking to lead Himalayan workshops. Accredited by the Royal Photographic Society, they have showcased their work in regular exhibitions, including one featured on BBC Radio.

As a nature photographer, they find solace in the natural world, donating their work to environmental and conservation groups. Based on their 45-acre eco-sanctuary in Coromandel, New Zealand, they run a photography business and lead workshops. Recently, they’ve expanded into filmmaking, with their debut film “Starry Starry Night” selling out at the Twin Cinemas in Whitianga. In New Zealand, they’ve exhibited in the New Zealand Art Show and chaired the Mercury Bay Art Escape. In 2024, they co-founded Corocine, the Coromandel’s first dedicated film festival, further establishing their presence in the arts community. Their work continues to inspire and promote environmental causes.
