Behind the lens
British-born and Atlanta-based, Dominique White is a photographer of dark, atmospheric, story-driven images. With a BA (Hons) in Visual Arts from the University of Plymouth, she has honed her craft across three countries: years shooting architecture and interiors in London, five in New Zealand capturing award-winning homes and Michelin-starred restaurants for Wild Tomato magazine, and, since 2021, a studio of her own in Atlanta.
Her signature is motion and mood: interiors that feel lived-in, and food and drink caught mid-moment. She works with interior designers, real estate companies, and restaurants and bars, and is currently at work on her first cookbook.
“Squeezing a drop of liquid, a spray of lemon zest, getting the splash shot — it brings a drink to life.”

As editor of WildTomato magazine (Nelson Tasman and Marlborough's award-winning lifestyle magazine), I was privileged to have Dominique White work for us as a photographer and also a columnist. Dominique's photography is outstanding. We used her for all our high-end house photo shoots, and also for character portrait and feature photography. During New Zealand's first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, Dominique also wrote a popular cooking column with recipes for WildTomato. At all times I found her to be professional, competent and ready to go that extra mile when needed.

How lucky we were to meet Dominique! She has the ability to sense what is on offer and present it in a compelling way, whilst injecting the heart and soul in to the photos...a rare skill indeed. Not only is she a fantastic photographer, she is also a real sweetheart. Just wonderful to deal with, her calm manner is just what an agent and the client needs. I was devastated when she announced her departure, and all I can say is Auckland's loss is so Nelsons gain.

In Dominique, we found the perfect photographer to represent our business and the properties we sell. Her ability to capture a huge variety of architecture and styles of property in a stylish way that represents the properties in their very best light, without looking over polished and fake is something that took us a long time to find and we will struggle to find again. Always fun and easy to work with, can't recommend enough she will be missed.

As we market high quality properties in the central Auckland area exceptional photography is extremely important to us. We have specifically requested Dominique for all our photo shoots because of her consistent attention to detail, creative flair, and dedication to producing quality images. Dominique is a pleasure to work with and has always accommodated even our most difficult requests to produce images that we receive many compliments for from our vendors and purchasers. We have no hesitation in recommending Dominique to prospective clients and hope that if she returns to Auckland one day that she will get in touch with us, we would love to have her back on our photo shoots again!
