Simon Woolf
In 1934 Spencer Digby established what was to become one of New Zealand’s leading studios. The business was sold to the Woolf family in 1960, and it thrived under the direction of Ronald and Inge Woolf. Now, Simon Woolf carries on the family legacy supported by a highly trained team of professionals.
Simon is the Managing Director of Woolf Photography and he is well known around New Zealand for his Photographic Skills. Simon loves the people aspects and the relationships which have been formed through his Photography.
He enjoys the diversity of what we do too. Whether it’s a Family Group, an Event, a Portfolio Shoot, or getting out into our environment to photograph our landscape and wildlife - it is always something special.
Woolf Photography values quality, creativity, innovation and most of all, experience. Anyone can become a ‘photographer’ but not everyone can have 50+ years developing photography technique, knowledge and skill.
This is proven through the numerous national and international awards and accolades the studio has received. The studio holds the record for the most Kodak Gold Awards. The studio’s photographers have also won a host of Photographic Society of New Zealand Champion Image awards, and gold medals, and also have gained multiple successes in the Epson Iris Awards.
Photography by Woolf have also produced more Photographic Society of New Zealand Youth Award Winners than any other studio
Woolf Photography are passionate about the work they do. They strive to capture moments in time that last a lifetime and are dedicated to providing exceptional photographic experiences.
