Flash Gordon Photography is a professional photography business based at 188A Waipapa West Road in Waipapa, in the Bay of Islands, and it works across Northland. The photographer covers cultural and heritage work, corporate and business profiles, product and web content, real estate, families and weddings, theatre, music and dance, and professional photography for artists, including artists' prints and matt board mounting. The photographer also aims to make portrait sessions accessible and says they are often able to offer discounts for community work.
Rates start at $220 an hour and go up to $280 an hour, as at 2026, depending on the shoot, including whether studio lighting is used. The hourly fee covers editing, delivery and digital images, and a full-day rate of around eight hours gives a discount on the hourly total. Travel and other costs are included in the quote, which is given before the job starts. High-resolution and web files are downloadable, usually through a Dropbox link. The photographer began shooting professionally after moving to New Zealand, after a career in finance and then as a mental health counsellor and life coach, and says that background shapes how people are photographed.
