New Zealand Surf Photographer Lou Lou B Photo at the beach in Mount Maunganui

Hi, I’m Lou, a coastal photographer based in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.

Inspired by the rhythm of the ocean and the quiet beauty of nature, I create photography that captures fleeting moments of light, movement, and atmosphere along New Zealand’s coastline.

My work is designed to bring a sense of calm, depth, and connection with the natural world into the spaces we live in every day.
