​Meg Lipscombe FPSNZ​


​With the beginnings of digital cameras in the late 1990’s, Meg was drawn to photography and especially Photoshop after a background in computers.

She spent a number of years as a wedding photographer, enjoys travel photography, and is interested in all genres of photography.
The opportunity to photograph a pair of tuis building a nest, laying eggs and rearing two chicks resulted in a set of photos achieving a PSNZ Fellowship, and also a book published by Potton and Burton.
