Tracy Stamatakos is an editorial, commercial and fine art photographer who is recognised for her simple, stylish imagery. Her portfolio showcases images of human connection and the quiet mystery of New Zealand landscapes and seascapes.

"We live in a world where images have five minutes of fame on a newsfeed, generating a series of lost moments. I think photography as art achieves its highest destiny in physical form which people can encounter over and over again."

"I have desire to become a curator of memories, of meaningful moments, of simple grounding landscapes. My favourite pieces exist for me as still points in a moving world, a memory or symbol of a significant moment. Art is not only a form of décor; it's deeper than that. I hope people will choose my work because it speaks to something in them."
