Inside John’s hangar... setting the stage for old rockers

This portrait session with John and his band of “old rocker” friends took place in his hangar at Tauranga Airport. Living in the hangar reflects both his life as a pilot and his passion for music. His old biplane sits alongside a purpose built stage, where he regularly plays with his band for a close circle of friends. Photographed in black and white with a subtle grain, the intention was to echo a raw, timeless feel…  reminiscent of classic rock photography. My focus was on honest, unposed moments of performance and connection. The result is a documentary-style portrait collection of a group of musicians fully immersed in a space where they live out their rock star dreams!

"Thanks for the awesome pics. They are great photos." - John
