About me

Hi, I’m Kirsten, an NZIPP-accredited sports, event, and personal branding photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand. My work spans from the adrenaline of capturing high-energy sports events to delivering impactful personal branding photographs and videos for businesses and individuals wanting to stand out from the crowd.

Whether I’m trackside at a BMX or Superbike Event, climbing muddy terrain at a Downhill Mountain Bike Event or behind the lens in a professional setting, I’m passionate about telling stories through my photography - creating images that leave a lasting impression.

When it comes to events, my photography style is very much documentary - I love capturing raw, candid emotions, especially in the intensity of sports.

For personal branding, my approach shifts. I know firsthand how uncomfortable it can feel in front of the camera, so I take the time to connect with my clients, helping them relax and feel at ease before we start shooting.

2025 Major Events:

MTBNZ National MTB series, BMX Oceanias, Crankworx Rotorua, MTBNZ National DH Champs, Crankworx Cairns, North Island Schools Mountain Bike Championships, NZDH MTB Series. Pump Track Nationals, BMXNZ North Island titles, Suzuki Series

About Mad Love Media

The name 'Mad Love' came from my obsession with the word 'love' I love what it means, I love what it stands for and I love love hearts! I feel ‘mad’ could equal passion which shows up in many things, especially at sporting events where passionate emotional people are doing what they love. And so Mad Love Media was born!

P.s. I wrote the logo myself.
