Kia ora, my name is Enzo and I am based in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Photography has been my primary weekend and holiday pastime since 2019. To start with I was mostly interested in shooting sport, but that changed during the COVID-19 lockdowns when capturing birds on my daily walks close to home became an unexpected creative outlet. I quickly fell in love with the challenge, the beauty, and the calm it offered – and I’ve been driven ever since to become the best amateur bird photographer I can be.
My style favours tightly framed, minimalist compositions with clean backgrounds that showcase the personality and attitude of the birds. I’m drawn to shape and form, and I try to use light creatively to add mood and depth, playing with contrast and shadow whenever the conditions allow.
I mostly shoot with a Canon R5 Mark II and an EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens, along with a 1.4x teleconverter. I also use a 70-200 and/or a 16-35 when occasionally in the mood to change things up.
I hope you enjoy my work.
