RACHEL V. FEAST
At age 14 I picked up a camera for the first time and haven’t put it down since. A few years later at age 18, my passion for portrait and dance photography became a full time job, which I love! Over the past 8 years, I have had the privilege of working with many talented models, actors and dancers from across New Zealand, Australia and California, and have gained a large following in the industry.
Dance photography was something I kind of just fell into. I have actually never danced myself. However, I have spent many years watching my younger sister dance and building connections with other dancers, dance brands and dance mums. There seemed to be a market for dance photos in Auckland so I just went with it.
Previous to photography I worked as a magazine editor for Little One Magazine, a publication I created with my business partner in the Netherlands. I would admire the beautiful images created by photographers all over the world and wished I could do that myself. Thus, Rachel Feast Photography was born.
I pride myself on being able to capture my subjects personality, making them feel comfortable to let their true self shine through. I am passionate about eyes and am often told that the eyes in my images are captivating.
