Meet your Photographer

Hey! I'm your photographer, Liam Dijk. Welcome to my website. I hope by making it this far you're enjoying what you see. Here's a bit about what lead me here...

I was born and raised in Tauranga from the mid 90s when the world of film cameras was fading to digital. The passion for photo taking was passed on from my Opa (Grandfather) to my Dad, mixed with an addiction to going fast and burning rubber, then to myself.

I was using digital video and photo cameras before I was 5 and experiencing the tail end of a wild import street scene as I grew up, I was drawn to automotive events before I could drive. Once I got my licence and could get myself to out of town events, I fostered a hobby into a career.

Now living the dream with my amazing fiance on a lifestyle block in rural Mamaku, I am committed to crafting my passion and producing photographs and media that continues to inspire and encourage generations.
