Brendan Larsen is a Photographer based
in New Plymouth, New Zealand.

Welcome to my website. I’m a landscape photographer and specialise in landscape astrophotography.

I love getting out into nature and I’m passionate about capturing and sharing incredible moments and breathtaking scenes that display the beauty of the natural world we live in.

I only started really getting into photography in 2020 when I got my first DSLR camera, although I’d already been using one for a few months through the local astronomy club, which is how I got into photography.

In 2022 one of my images was awarded in the “Milky Way Photographer of the Year” competition - an international competition that is picked up by media around the world as well as NZ (Kiwi Milky Way images named among world’s best in astrophotography competition - NZ Herald) and local media (New Plymouth's Larsen a rising star in the world of astrophotography | Stuff.co.nz).

In 2023 several of my images were shortlisted in the Artistic / Nightscape section of the NZ Astrophotography competition.

Photography started for me as a hobby but has grown into a small side business where I make a bit of money from print sales and my annual calendars (which I started doing for 2022, and each year has grown in quantity and quality).

Thanks for reading this and thanks for your support.
