Week 10: Aotearoa Photographers of the Week - Bridget Reweti

Bridget is another artist I wouldn’t typically explore, but her incredible images are actually developed from film! I’ve always found film photography challenging since you can’t see the final image until after it’s developed. I’m especially impressed by the rich colors and thoughtful composition she manages to achieve with this technique. Her work is not just about capturing any scene—it’s deeply personal, with locations that connect her to her Māori heritage.

Although I’m still more comfortable with digital photography for now, I admire the natural haze effect that appears in Bridget’s work. It adds a sense of age and mystery to her photos, creating a story within the environment. I’d love to experiment with that hazy quality in my own work, even though it naturally occurred in Bridget’s images.
