Richard Smallfield

I am a New Zealand photographer based in Leigh, north of Auckland.

After gaining conjoint degrees in Politics and Law (graduating in 1988), illness resulted in several years of severe disability and a change in direction. Photography became my vocation around the year 2000, although it had been a hobby since my school days.

My main project is to document the changing rural environment around Leigh and Warkworth. The reference point I have chosen is that of the back roads, as the sealing of existing roads and builiding of new roading and subdivisions gradually transform the countryside - and Rodney District becomes more accessible via the extended motorway from Auckland.
