Event & portrait photography for moments that actually matter.
Dunstan Photography is a Christchurch-based photography business founded by Cam Dunstan. I cover school formals, portraits, birthdays, business content, corporate events, conferences, concerts, festivals, nightlife & large-scale public events across Canterbury & New Zealand.
The job is not just taking a few photos and leaving. It is reading the room, making people comfortable, working with the lighting and timing you are given, catching the small moments people miss, and delivering photos that feel like the event actually felt.
Featured work, clients & venues
A clean overview of the essentials — large public events, live music, schools, Christchurch venues, nightlife, portraits, corporate work and business content.
Event coverage with scale
From public events and large venues through to school formals and private functions, the focus is on atmosphere, people, movement and the moments that make the event feel alive.
Low light, pressure & movement
Concerts, bars, festivals and nightlife move quickly. I’m used to changing light, crowds, stage moments, dark rooms and situations where you only get one chance to capture it.
Clean galleries people use
The end result needs to be more than a folder of random images. Galleries are edited, organised and delivered so clients, guests, schools and businesses can actually use the photos.

Book ContentBuilt for real events, not just staged photos.
A good event gallery should show more than the obvious moments. It should show the people who were there, the venue, the energy, the details, the awkward laughs, the packed dancefloor, the quiet parts, the stage moments, the groups, the reaction shots and the things people forget happened until they see the photo.
That is why the work across this page covers a wide mix: large public events, school formals, concerts, portraits, business content, private celebrations, corporate events and nightlife. Different jobs need different approaches, but the standard stays the same — make it comfortable, capture it properly, edit it cleanly and deliver it in a way people can actually use.
