About
Hi, I'm Sina
I grew up in Mangere and borrowed my uncle's film camera when I was fifteen. I studied photography in Auckland, assisted a fashion photographer for four years, and have worked for myself since 2021.
I like a plain place and one good light. Most of what I shoot is a designer's first look at a new piece, so I keep the crew small and the day short, and I send the numbered looks as soon as they are edited.
