As an immigrant from the United Kingdom, assimilating elements of New Zealand 

society is a gradual process, a journey which I doubt will ever finish completely. Being a photography graduate, I have designed a photographic book showcasing my collective works that represent my explorations of New Zealand. I have ventured out and around the greater Wellington region, explored the South Island, including Nelson and Christchurch 

to capture the unique aspects of New Zealand culture through the lens of an outsider or ‘other’. This photographic series is an investigation of the unusual, or unexpected elements of New Zealand society that I experience because of my ‘otherness’ or 

newness to my surroundings. The design of the book seeks to reiterate the content 

and experience of the photographs through pairings and pacing while at the same time, narrating my own evolution throughout my study of photography, my life since moving 

to New Zealand and the everyday observations of an immigrant.
