A few more photos from this year.

A few photos from the first seven months of this year. Most of my updates happen via Instagram, but I still really appreciate your following me here - thank you. I'll try and post more. For a more comprehensive look at what I create, you can find an up-to-date portfolio at my website, xander.nz.

As the year draws to a close, I thought I would share a small selection of some of my favourite photos from the year that was.

I've been a little slack at updating my Facebook here over the year - it's been tough to find the time! My Instagram gets more regular updates, but I'll do my best to start sharing things a little more often here too ☺️ Happy New Year!

A wonderful night of music at Holy Trinity Cathedral from Adela Zaharia - Soprano, Amitai Pati, and Somi Kim 👏🙏 Thanks to Auckland Opera Studio for having me there! 📸

Review: Adela Zaharia and Amitai Pati spellbinding at the cathedral OPINION: Unforgiving acoustics couldn't dampen a spellbinding evening of glorious singing.
