Hello, I'm Gordon Barney.
As the name would suggest this web site is full of photos of things New Zealand. I live near the North Otago town of Oamaru, about 110kms north of Dunedin, on the South Island of New Zealand. Most of my scenic photography is probably representative of this location as we are close to mountain areas and the Waitaki valley with its hydro lakes.
I am a mechanic/engineer by trade and developed my keen interest in photography as a boy, having been introduced to it by my father. After a period of study, in the year 2000 I graduated from "The New Zealand Institute Of Business Studies" with a diploma in Freelance Photography. Soon after this I set up the pixnz.com web site as part of my photography business. In the earlier years the site was running, my own work had been the most successful, so in 2004 I decided to set the web site up solely as a promotion of just my own work.
Though landscapes are possibly my favourite form, with a background in machinery my photography work has taken me from agricultural contracting fleets, trucks and road transport fleets through to work for farming, trucking and metropolitan publications. I also work with a client base on family portraits, weddings, sports groups, conventions etc.
My other interests include, with my wife and teenage family, brass banding, skiing, jet boating and trout fishing.
