Great Gardens:
12 of New Zealand’s best
To celebrate the unique beauty of 12 of the country’s top gardens, Yolanta briefed photographers to shoot the gardens through several seasons. With consideration given to light and composition, she highlighted nature’s art.
The cohesiveness of each opening spread created a strong break between the gardens. Readers could scan a QR code for a link to a bird's-eye video tour. Careful briefing of the drone pilots nationwide about the unique aspects of each garden and working with video editor Natasha Sebire resulted in a ground-breaking visual experience for garden lovers (see below).
“Best. Creative. Director. Ever. I’ve never shot for anyone before where I find myself pushing every limit on a conscious and subconscious level. It’s like I enter another realm of my passion as a photographer. So, thank you, Yolly. It’s been a ride!!! From Dome Hills at dawn to catching light beams with gardeners, it’s been amazing.”
— Daniel Allen, photographer
