Hello
I am a Photographer, Writer & Columnist. Forever Curious, lover of endless skies, rugged mountains and wild oceans, passionate storyteller and not-so-casual observer.
Writing & Photography Services
As editor of the Rural Guardian—a South Island-wide farming publication reaching over 30,000 mailboxes each month—I specialise in creating content that speaks directly to rural communities.
I work with businesses, publications, and individuals to craft compelling stories and striking imagery that capture the heart of rural New Zealand. Whether you’re looking to promote your business, share your story, or elevate your brand with professional photography and words that resonate, I can help.
I offer:
-
Feature writing and editorial content
-
Photography for rural business, lifestyle, and landscapes
-
Content creation for websites, social media, and media releases
Every project is tailored to suit your audience and voice, with a focus on authenticity, clarity, and visual impact.
Let’s talk.
If you have a story to share or a business to showcase, get in touch—I’d love to hear what you need and how I can help.
"I have personally known Claire Inkson for a number of years, as a community and professional member of our district. Claire assisted me with my social media presence during my Mayoral campaign in 2019. Claire accepted these responsibilities with eagerness and completed them in a timely and professional manner. Her support was exceptional and her interpersonal skills were very polished. Claire is very professional, dependable and responsible with strong creative skills. Above all of Claire’s professional qualities and achievements the thing that I admire most in Claire is that she is a great person, she has many fine attributes and contributes freely to the community to which she resides".
