Based in Aotearoa, Reagen works in undefined genres across both still photography and Film. He prides himself on a collaborative and kind approach to image making.

Reagen enjoys being involved in pre-production and makes intentional decisions throughout to ensure the intended feeling and aesthetic comes through in the final outputs. Often locations are pulled from his extensive personal deck of weekend scouts & casting directly from or influenced by his own circles.

A focus on People, Youth Culture & storytelling through controlled and intentional image creation has become a real focus - using a slower almost traditional film approach to scenes and discovering them through the viewfinder. Bringing pop culture, style and fresh aesthetic to advertising is his focus when working commercially.
