Rachel Hale

Rachael Hale is the youngest person in New Zealand to have received a Fellowship with the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers. However her most valuable qualification is her passion for the animals she works with; a characteristic which shines through in all of her pictures.
Her style is distinctive and inimitable; her creativity adored and her reputation as the world’s foremost animal portrait photographer assured.
It would seem that Henry, Hale’s pet dog is the embodiment of patience and calm as one of the world’s most photographed pets! The Newfoundland debuted in Hale’s 1999 calendar with Pipi the parrot, and the same image won that years gold at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography. “I love photographing Henry” Hale says. “Each time you can tell by his eyes he’s thinking ‘oh no, not again’.”
She is prone to saying “Enjoy my images, for I enjoyed making them!”
