About Maki, About Echo
Hi, I’m Maki
I specialize in outdoor & adventure photography, because it’s where I feel most alive. Been at it for a few years now, and I’ve grown from a small freelance photographer to a full-time outdoor and adventure photographer, working along other photographers and videographers, and managing talent for shoots!
I’m a tramper (the kiwi way of saying, hiker), climber, novice mountaineer and overall, a very outdoorsy person.
The whole point of this business is actually going up a mountain, having a great time, exploring & climbing. Full time!
Check out my adventures on my Insta page, @makioutdoors, where I share a bit of my outdoor experiences and inspire other people to join the outdoor movement!
