Greg Pringle

Greg’s passion for photography began during his career as a horticultural scientist, where he found rewards and challenges in the representation of trees, flowers and fruit. This evolved more recently into the exploration of macroscopic details of insects and flowers, inspired by the work of Levon Biss. Greg’s career also took him to rural areas locally and overseas, resulting in a number of panoramic images (inspired by the work of Peter Latham), and extending to a deeper interest in New Zealand’s natural world and conservation estates. Mangawhai’s environment also holds lots of opportunities for him to record the natural world, from the local bird life to the coastal flora and stark landscapes of the sandspit, where textures abound.
