Jason Mann Photography

About

I'm an architectural photographer, drone pilot and timelapse builder. I work with talented architects, designers and others within the construction industry throughout New Zealand.

My work is often used for industry awards including the NZIA Awards, Best Awards, ADNZ Awards, Resene Colour Awards, Property Council Awards and Interior Awards.

I believe in strong, narrative-based imagery of exceptional and consistent quality. I enjoy working alongside my clients to visualise their briefs. I am comfortable directing a scene with models and can run large-scale photoshoots for an entire project team efficiently, juggling multiple briefs and interests.

I offer a straightforward approach to licensing that ensures you can use the images as you like for as long as you like. There are no onerous licensing conditions and no geographical or time-based restrictions. I like to keep the process simple and fair for all involved.

I live in Wellington with my partner and our son. Away from the camera, I can often be found free-diving on the South Coast or tramping in the Tararuas. I love Wellington hospitality and am always keen on meeting new people over a coffee or late afternoon beer – get in touch

Testimonials

"I've been working with Jason since early 2014. Since then, the quality of his architectural photography has gone from strength to strength and I regularly publish his work in both Architecture New Zealand and Houses.

Architectural photography can be highly challenging to shoot and it is a competitive field, so I'm really delighted to see Jason work so hard to achieve such a high standard, with total professionalism."

Justine Harvey, former editor of Houses and ArchitectureNZ magazines

“Jason has been working with us capturing completed projects and buildings under construction for a number of years. Jason does an outstanding job and goes the extra mile to get the right result for us.

Dan McGuinness, LT McGuinness Ltd

“Jason photographed Devonport Library for us in early 2015 and did such a fantastic job we have continued to use him on many of our architectural shoots. He is very professional in his approach and a delight to work with.”

Pip Bennett, Athfield Architects

“We have worked with Jason often since our practice began and have thoroughly enjoyed this partnership. His photography is always of a very high standard and is priced competitively; he works well both in studio with our team and on site with our clients, and he continues to generate editorial opportunities for the imagery he creates. After five years Jason has become a firm member of the First Light family and we look forward to this continuing for the years to come.”

Nick, First Light Studio
