Rebecca is a multi award-winning professional photographer based in the Wairarapa, working full time across fine art, commercial and portrait photography.

Her work is often described as emotive, powerful and painterly, using the camera as a creative tool to interpret the landscape and world around her. Rather than simply capturing what is seen, she approaches photography as a form of painting, shaping each image with intention and atmosphere.

Rebecca predominantly exhibits at the Greytown Art Gallery and ships her work to collectors throughout New Zealand and internationally.

She holds a Master of Photography with Distinction III Bars from the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography. In 2025, she was named New Zealand Landscape Creative Photographer of the Year and selected for Team New Zealand at the World Photographic Cup.

Her recent accolades include finalist in the Wairarapa Art Review (2025), participation in the New Zealand Art Show(2025), selection for Team New Zealand at the World Photographic Cup (2024) and exhibition in the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts Urban Exhibition (2024).
