I'm a Canadian photojournalist now living in Napier, New Zealand, after spending a year in Rarotonga, the Cook Islands, where my goal was to capture images of Paradise and its beautiful inhabitants.

I own a photography company specializing in model portraits. Like us on Facebook: wwww.facebook.com/MokoPhoto

I use a Nikon D40X.

Images have been compressed for ease of upload and to prevent "borrowing." I apologize now if some of the photos aren't crystal-clear. Rest assured the orginals are spectacular.

Use of my photos is not free. Please e-mail me to request permission to use a photo and I will make arrangements to forward an image.
