WELCOME

Hi, I'm Gerald Lopez, a photographer currently based in Auckland, New Zealand. I used to specialise in architecture, hospitality, travel and heritage/environment. Having cut my teeth on film photography, and worked professionally in digital as well, I now do personal projects shooting 135 and 120 format on film.

At @northartnz Summer Show opening. From today until February 17. I put in two b&w prints. Met some super people including SA artist @camillacopley_art

Galaxies
Winter wind.
Cabbage tree arching
Flax flowers shuddering
in ecstasy.

Ducks on a cold pond.
Contentment.

Winter season.
One caravan in the park.
A good time to camp.

Different every second.
Same long after I am gone.

Walking on a lonely beach.
Bracing winds
Lashing the face
Yet giving the gift of presence
and the smell of sea and wet sand.

As I walked in my neighbourhood in the silence of the early morning and the rising sun, I thought of art. What is art? What is […]

The Artist’s Way – Week 2

I‘ve been reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, and doing the exercises in the 12-week course. Last week was about Recovering a Sense of Safety, and this week was about recovering a Sense of Identity. It became apparent that the identity I had created for myself—as an artist and a photographer—had default properties which […]
