Brendan Larsen — Landscape & Astrophotographer, New Plymouth, NZ

I’m passionate about capturing the beauty of our world — from glowing auroras to rugged landscapes under the Milky Way. Those fleeting, magical moments in nature are what drive me to get out and shoot.

Photography really took off for me in 2020 when I bought my first DSLR, though my love for the night sky started earlier, borrowing a camera through my local astronomy club.

What began as a hobby has grown into a small side business. I now sell prints and release annual calendars, sharing the scenes that inspire me with people around the world.

Some of my work has been recognised in competitions — you can explore the award-winning images in the Awards section of my website.

Thanks for visiting! I love connecting with fellow photography and nature enthusiasts, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
