Photography in Auckland
Billie shoots stills the same way it shoots film: with a clear idea, careful light and an eye for the frame. Artist portraits, campaign imagery, posters and behind-the-scenes stills can be shot on their own or alongside a video project.
Auckland is where most of New Zealand’s music, advertising and screen work is made. It is the country’s largest city, home to about a third of the population, and it has the widest range of locations within an hour’s drive: city streets, harbour, west coast beaches and the volcanic cones. Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so Auckland shoots need no travel.
What’s included
- Artist and studio portraits
- Campaign and product stills
- Posters and key art
- Behind-the-scenes coverage
- Retouched, web-ready files
The key art for Billie’s own films, After Service and Two Wheels, shows the same eye for a single frame.
How it works
- Brief: A call to understand the goal, the audience, the timeline and the budget.
- Treatment: A written and visual plan, so everyone agrees on the idea before anything is shot.
- Production: Locations, crew, cast and schedule locked in, then the shoot itself.
- Post: Edit, colour, sound and graphics, with review rounds built in.
- Delivery: Masters and cut-downs for every platform the piece will live on.
