About Keith

 

Photography has the power to preserve memories, reveal personality, and tell stories that words alone cannot. For award-winning photographer Keith Maynard, that passion has been at the heart of Shifting Light Photography for more than 15 years.


Based in the Bay of Islands, Keith specialises in portrait, landscape, and event photography, creating authentic images that capture genuine emotion and connection. His relaxed, approachable style helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in photographs that are natural, timeless, and uniquely personal.


Alongside his photography business, Keith is a respected photography tutor who enjoys mentoring photographers of all skill levels. Whether he's guiding others to master their craft or working with clients to create meaningful images, his goal is always the same—to tell compelling stories through photography and create images that will be treasured for years to come.

Kind Words from my clients

Keith is incredibly intuitive, eases you in to feeling comfortable and is very knowledgeable about what to do and when. Keith also captures those impromptu/ unexpected snapshots that often are some of the best pictures.  

Love his work, will definitely get more work done when he is in town.
