Zane Taylor – Artist, explorer, and serial shapeshifter

I’m an artist, explorer, and serial shapeshifter. I am based in Auckland New Zealand. My work moves like the ocean — unpredictable, untamed, always pushing forward. I don’t aspire to one style, one idea, or ‘standing’ in one place for too long. If I vanish for a spell, it’s not by accident — I’m out there chasing the next wave, the next horizon, the next idea.
I’m passionate about what I do. I create one-of-a-kind original works — remarkable art for inspired spaces. My paintings are about movement, space, and energy — Paintings you don’t just see, but feel. Some are bold and structured, others untamed, like the ocean that’s been a huge part of my life.
Working mostly with paint on canvas or wood. Rules of the artistic vanguard, the cultural gatekeepers, they just don’t interest me — I use whatever it takes to get the job done.
Don’t buy into the idea that an artist should have a ‘style.’ Being locked into one style would suck the soul out of me.
For me, art is about exploration — I unapologetically choose to be the explorer. No formulas. No repetition. Just the thrill of discovering something new. Art for art’s sake, and all that jazz.

Linku2 Hibiscus Coast – Supporting business to Go Local, Grow Local

Hi, I’m Sarah and my passion is supporting small business and supporting local, which I have actively done for almost 20 years through Linku2.
For me, a key frustration for small businesses, particularly online, is how to reach their target audiences easily and affordably without spending a fortune or being unable to track results.
Linku2 do this through Regional and Keyword sites which focus on getting small business links high in Google organic rankings, without a high price tag, by linking on pages on our highly reputable Google ranked sites, hence we “link you to” your target customers. Locally through Linku2 Hibiscus Coast.
Supporting local, I have another role as Activator for Business Whangaparaoa, the business association for Whangaparaoa Peninsula.
If you are, or know, a small business who would like to develop greater brand awareness and greater reach online, please get in touch so we can all “Go Local, Grow Local” together!

Freelance Photographer

I have always had a love of all things creative and after years in the fashion industry I discovered photography and quickly became obsessed with taking pictures. I am a people person and the best thing about being a photographer is the people I get to meet and photograph – from all walks of life, from corporate bankers to the children of third world countries – this is my happy place.
When I am at home you can often find me out and about capturing all the best NZ events or working with businesses small and large creating marketing, advertising, content, branding, and headshots for media, websites, billboards, social media, and print. I work with one of New Zealand’s most popular and fun fashion brands Augustine photographing their new ranges in different locations every month around NZ.

I have a passion (sorry cliché but it’s so true) for photographing our beautiful country along with the rest of the world. The last couple of years I have been lucky enough to photograph and explore Myanmar, Japan, Niue, Fiji, Tahiti, Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Bali and Hawaii, overseas is on hold for now so enjoying exploring my own backyard for now!

I am now offering limited edition prints of the beautiful landscapes I have captured on my travels. You can often find me at the beach for sunrise or scouting out the perfect spot for shooting the sunset, my favourite time of day. When I am not out capturing the world on camera I love hanging out with my family and friends, hitting the beach or hiking tracks, practising yoga, spin classes at Les Mills, in winter I love skiing (fav place Cardrona) or drinking wine or coffee with the girls and discovering the best raw cafes around town – it’s all about balance!

Some of my clients include Woman’s Day, ANZ, Vodafone, LION, Hospitality NZ, Rainbows End, Mediaworks, Pernod Ricard, Surf Life Saving NZ, Newmarket Business, Eastlife & South magazines and Auckland University. I also work with several PR companies and use my 30k social media following to showcase brands and businesses I work with. I love a party and enjoy photographing events, gala dinners, award nights, launches, premieres and red carpet events. I photograph social pages for several magazines including Woman’s Day & work with Red Carpet TV. My style is pretty diverse, I am just as happy shooting glamourous partygoers at events as I am exploring and photographing beautiful people and landscapes in third world countries.
