Alec Huisman Live music and photography have always been a part of my life. While primarily a commercial and event photographer, in my spare time I volunteer covering live New Zealand music for muzic.net.nz, and have shot artists including Kaylee Bell, The Exponents, Zed, Midwave Breaks, and Devilskin, as well as international acts such as Incubus and Live+. I consider it a privilege to be so close to New Zealand's vibrant music scene and love capturing the atmosphere of a live show... I always aim to create works of art I could see hanging on my wall rather than simple snapshots, and hope that this shines through in my images. Instagram: instagram.com/alec_huisman
