On Now
Following our hugely successful inaugural exhibition in April 2025, our next exhibition, “Our City - A Wider Lens”, documents and reflects Wellington but from a wider perspective, with new photographers and all new photos. We are an informal and diverse group who are passionate about photography and passionate about Wellington. We get together regularly in Cuba Mall and explore the inner city, its people, its architecture, its details, its hidden gems with our cameras. Outside of those meetups, we also arrange regular outings to explore the wider Wellington region. Each photographer will be showcasing their own unique approach and perspective, and this will be reflected in the variety of images on show.

"Unseen" brings together recent paintings by Nong Shao Hua that explore the quiet spaces between memory, perception, and imagination. In these works, fragments of everyday life—figures, objects, dim interiors, and anonymous landscapes—appear suspended in ambiguous settings where narrative remains deliberately unresolved. Nong’s restrained palette and layered brushwork create atmospheres that feel both intimate and distant, inviting viewers to look slowly and attentively. Rather than presenting clear stories, the paintings suggest moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed: fleeting gestures, overlooked presences, and subtle emotional states. **Unseen** reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in what lies beneath ordinary experience—the hidden tensions, private reflections, and silent dramas that shape our inner world. In these quiet yet compelling images, the familiar becomes strangely poetic, reminding us that much of life’s meaning exists just beyond the surface of what we immediately recognise.
