"True storytelling through a creative lens that makes your story a masterpiece"
A bit about me
Hi, my name's Harry Maxwell, I'm a 16 Year Old Videographer, Photographer and Filmmaker living on the East Coast of New Zealand in the Art Deco Capital of the World, Napier. Growing up on a farm I learnt to appreciate nature and how lucky I was to be brought up in such a beautiful country.
I've always loved cameras growing up, with my first one being given to me by my Grandma when I was around 7 years old, fair to say my skills have come a long way since then. Two years ago I made the decision to delve into the filmmaking world by jumping in the deep end and filming my first wedding. The emotion, the landscape and the amazing people had me hooked and I find Wedding Videography to be one of my core passions to this day. As of now I have filmed numerous weddings in a variety of different locations, and have honed in my skills to a professional level.
However, I could never shake the need to capture moments in a single shot just get that one awe inspiring photo that can tell a story with just a single frame. Continuing this passion I was able to achieve NCEA Level 2 Photography with Excellence, the highest grade possible in New Zealand. Since then I have branched out into Family and Concert Photography which I highly enjoy!
Overall, I strive to tell stories in my work and create something beautiful out of anything, photo and film alike, capturing the essence of life and those little moments that can be easily missed.
" Harry videoed our wedding in the Manawatu in February, he was professional from start to finish and we love how the video turned out. Harry was very accommodating to what we wanted in a video and we got such amazing feedback from our guests about him. I would recommend HM Photography and Videography to anybody." - Kate Bernard
