SARA TANSY
I have been a photographer for 15 years, but I think I was always meant to be one.
As a child, I travelled the world on a 30’ sailboat with my family. Our journey took us 13 years, through Europe, Panama, Venezuela, the Virgin Islands, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cairo, the Red Sea, Yemen, the Seychelles and Maldives, Indonesia, Australia, England, France, the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific Islands.
Experiencing different cultures, swimming with dolphins and whales, surviving hurricanes, catching fish, complete isolation, complete freedom.
This experience shaped me into a dreamer, an observer and a wildly passionate creative.
I live on Terawhiti Station on the rugged South Coast of Wellington. My work a a commercial and lifestyle photographer is prolific, filled with colours borrowed from the ocean.
I am beyond grateful to make a living doing what I love.
