Event & portrait photography for moments that actually matter.
Dunstan Photography is a Christchurch-based event & portrait photography business founded by Cam Dunstan. We photograph school formals, portraits, birthdays, business content, corporate events, conferences, concerts, festivals, nightlife & large-scale public events across Canterbury & New Zealand.
From small private shoots through to major public events with estimated crowd exposure of up to 100,000 people, the job stays the same: turn up, make people comfortable, read the room, capture it properly, & deliver photos people actually want to keep.
This is photography for people who want more than a few random photos. It is for schools, businesses, artists, venues, event organisers, families, brands & people who want the night remembered properly.

Book Business ContentOwner Cam Dunstan @ 921 Studios
Kia ora, I’m Cam Dunstan — also known as “Cam the camera man.” I’m the 19-year-old founder and owner of Dunstan Photography, based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I first got into photography in October 2019 and officially started Dunstan Photography in July 2021. Since then, the business has grown from portraits and small shoots into event, concert, formal, corporate, nightlife and large-scale public event photography.
I also run BBQ Cleaners Christchurch and Woodstackers Christchurch, so I understand the business side as well as the creative side. The same standard applies across everything I do: communicate clearly, turn up prepared, do the job properly, and leave people with something they are happy with.

Why people book Dunstan Photography
You are not just booking someone to stand in the corner with a camera. You are booking someone who can work with people, handle pressure, read the room and still deliver a finished gallery afterwards.
People feel comfortable
Most people do not love being in front of a camera. The goal is to make it easy, not awkward, and still get strong photos.
