Portraits of Auckland

Well connected to the world but not too close for comfort, here we can live our own lives and build our own futures. Auckland offers so many positives that without a doubt it is one of the world’s best places to live.

A book of 120 images celebrates what is the essence of Auckland: A diverse and vibrant community sharing a beautiful location. The book is expected to be in print by Q2 2026; further details to follow soon.

A few of the photos are shown below, seven others from the book are available as limited edition prints - please go to ‘shop’ for more information.

Some of the city’s defining features are 50 (extinct) volcanoes and a the wider region that boasts 3200km of coastline plus forested ranges and beautiful islands to escape the crowd

Auckland’s weather makes it a year-round outdoor city, with plenty of places for sports, exercise and play

From global brands to local designers and shops for special occasions all fashion styles and tastes are catered for

Its great diversity of people means a great diversity of foods; from Mediterranean to Mongolian to Argentinian and anything in between

With large Māori and Pacific Island populations Auckland is the capital of the Polynesian world

To get through summer all you need are a towel, sunscreen and maybe a book; there’s enough room on the beach
