Auckland Photos

Auckland was my first real taste of New Zealand, and it didn’t disappoint. I spent my days wandering the waterfront, chasing viewpoints, and getting happily lost between Māori culture, busy city streets, and those ridiculously photogenic harbours. This album pulls together my favourite shots from my time in Tāmaki Makaurau, the skyline, the boats, the sunsets, and all the little moments in between. If you’re curious what Auckland looked like through my eyes in 2026, start scrolling.
