Hi there! I’m Ladi, a passionate photographer with a love for capturing the beauty of travel and the night sky. My journey into photography began during a transformative year in Canada, where I picked up my first camera and started exploring the art of storytelling through images. What started as a hobby soon grew into a lifelong passion, especially for astrophotography.
Through my website, "Captured by Ladi," I share my adventures and insights with fellow photography enthusiasts. Whether you’re here for technical blogs, travel stories, or honest tech reviews, my goal is to inspire and connect with others who share a love for exploration and creativity. My photography focuses on four key areas.
In the near future, I’m excited to expand into cinematic video projects, combining field trips, behind-the-scenes content, and travel videos to bring a fresh perspective to astrophotography.
Capturing the awe-inspiring wonders of the night sky, from distant galaxies to mesmerizing star trails. I aim to showcase the beauty of the universe while making astrophotography accessible to everyone, whether through my images or educational resources.
I offer personalized 1:1 photography and astrophotography workshops. These sessions cover everything from planning and shooting to editing, helping you gain confidence in your skills and bring your vision to life.
I share breathtaking travel photos and detailed itineraries, blending storytelling with visual inspiration to help you discover new destinations and perspectives.
Bring the magic of photography into your life with my premium acrylic prints and custom designs. I’m also exploring the idea of creating a book in the future, so stay tuned for exciting updates!
2024 was an incredible year for my astrophotography journey. I started the year with a star tracker and learned the art from scratch, inspired by friends I follow on Instagram.
My hard work paid off, earning me:
Second Place in a prestigious landscape competition hosted by Auckland Camera Store.
Recognition as the third most-commented astrophotographer in New Zealand.
A feature on the renowned 'Skies and Scopes', Milkyway Chases and other pages.
Each milestone reminds me of the power of persistence and the beauty of sharing my passion with others.
