Azrie is an Auckland-based music photographer with roots in Tāmaki’s live scene, back when spots like the Wine Cellar and The Underground lit up K’ Road. Passionate about indie, hip hop, and all things homegrown, he uses his lens to spotlight the artists shaping Aotearoa’s sound. In 2025, he won the Aotearoa Music Photography Award at the Auckland Festival of Photography, inspired by the local photographers and musicians who continue to fuel his craft.
