The Decision Maker captures a quiet moment of transition, where memories are sorted and choices linger. Set within a vintage interior, a cat sits in calm authority at the centre of a room surrounded by signs reading Dump, Donate, Keep and Sell. What begins as a simple act of decluttering becomes something far deeper, an exploration of attachment, identity, and the weight of what we choose to hold onto. The soft black and white fine art photography enhances the sense of nostalgia, drawing the viewer into a scene that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar. Look closer, every detail tells a story. The stacked board games, the portrait paintings watching silently from above, the "I Hate Mornings" mug. How many stories can you find? Captured entirely in-camera, this piece showcases the extraordinary craft of building a complete narrative within a single frame. (Gold Award, NZIPP Iris Awards, Portrait In Camera.) Emotional Connection: A powerful and witty reflection on memory, letting go, and the stories held within everyday objects, a piece that will mean something different to everyone who sees it. Storytelling Art: Rich in narrative detail, inviting the viewer to pause, reflect, and find their own meaning, and maybe laugh a little too. Award-Winning Craft: Awarded a Gold at the NZIPP Iris Awards, New Zealand's most prestigious photography competition, recognised for extraordinary vision, storytelling and in-camera craft.
