Nina Gastreich

Picture
Digital photography, Photoshop, mixed media
​

Originally from Olpe, North-Rhine Westfalia in Germany,
Nina was given her first point and shoot camera at the age of 4 or 5 and photographed everything in the garden; which resulted in a limited supply of film rolls and flash cubes. Throughout school she captured fellow students and school events.

Towards the end of her apprentice ship for offset printing 2003, she purchased her first slr camera and started to work as freelance photographer/reporter for the local paper, covering sport and art.

Nina came to New Zealand in 2003 for a work and holiday. Having a great time exploring, she settled in Auckland and jumped profession; running a restaurant for 9 years.

Pursuing her lifelong hobby, she studied digital photography and Ninag Photography became reality in 2013.

With a background in Ballroom and Jazz dance, photographing dancers seemed to be a beautiful combination of emotion and motion to capture. “Dance and performance photography are understanding and feeling the music and dance form; always a challenge to anticipate the moment before the moment”. If you can hear and feel music- you are one beat closer to seeing dance moments.

Also, she photographs a lot of different subjects, “The stage feels like my second home, a motion and emotion in combination. I am a photographer/ artist and mum, not necessarily in this order on every day, I like to create moments that speak to me, on stage and outdoors, bold and bright, real and raw, provoking and subtle.

She had/has the pleasure to work for and with amazing NZ and international dancers, performers, including:
Phoenix Belly dance, The Dance Studio, IDCO, Momentum Productions, Pineapple Productions, Tamashii Taiko Drummers, Auckland Dance Company, Medanz, Tempo Dance, Fringe, You Dance Festival, Hip Hop Qualifiers, HHINZ National Hip Hop, Salsa Congress, Western Springs College, Mount Albert Grammar.

Her current home is the Magical Mangawhai, where she lives with her husband and 2year old son.
