Tom's 1973 DE TOMASO PANTERA
For Tom, this car is more than metal and wheels; it's a legacy.

Photography
In this documentary photography project, I delve into New Zealand's car culture, capturing enthusiasts' powerful personal connections with their vehicles. The images reveal how cars embody self-expression, history, and community by focusing on individuals behind the wheel. Each vehicle whether classic, vintage, or modified becomes an extension of its owner. This work underscores how car culture in New Zealand shapes identity and belonging, linking diverse enthusiasts across generations and styles.
