Jason Hosking photographer
Thanks to a very generous donation we have had photographer Jason Hosking down from Auckland for a month to do some wildlife filming for us. The intention is to have amazing movie snippets of local birds, plants, insects and other wildlife to show schoolchildren and then to be able to tell the stories about the amazing wildlife we have in our own backyards. Thanks also to Ian and Jenny Gamble for their hospitailty and for the opportunity for Jason to film on their wonderful property as well as ours.
Jason is well known for his still photography, he was named Grand Prize Winner at the 2015 NZ Geographic Photographer of the Year Awards. Random House has this to say about Jason – “World renowned Kiwi photographer Jason Hosking has won the landscape category of the New Zealand Photographer of the Year Award with his stunning photograph of an ice cave. Jason is also the photographer of the stunning book Wild About New Zealand by Gus Roxburgh”. See more of Jasons work at https://www.jasonhosking.com/
More recently Jason has turned his attention to movie making and he recently presented the film “Fools and Dreamers” https://happenfilms.com/fools-and-dreamers to a Southland audience at Centre Stage. Jason took the drone footage for the film.
We are incredibly lucky to be able to have Jason here filming and I was privileged to accompany him as he showed his immense patience and got some incredible footage in some of Southland’s worst weather! Now Jason is back home in Auckland and the laborious task of editing the footage begins! We look forward to seeing the results – no pressure Jason!
