AUCKLAND, Tuesday: Film Construction has announced the arrival of Mike Hishon to its roster. FC founding director Perry Bradley said: “Mike is well known for his sumptuous imagery.

“He has a deep connection to the outdoors and nature. With an upbringing on Southland and Canterbury farms, that’s no surprise.

“As a multi-skilled photographer and filmmaker, Mike has a keen eye for finding honest beauty in everyday New Zealand life, the people living it and working it.

“His diverse subject matter ranges from landscapes to portraits, capturing the world around him with empathy, clarity and warmth.

“Mike also loves slowing down in the studio and crafting light onto a wine bottle and even the odd tuatara.”

“Wearing multiple hats as a photographer, director and DP, Mike switches between all three skills comfortably. With a wealth of experience both on location and in the studio, Mike has honed his craft to become a true Swiss army knife for photography and film.

“He has collaborated with notable brands such as Nokia, Peroni, Fonterra, Yealands, The Crossings Wine, Boxer Spirits, TAB, The Hotel Britomart, and Tourism Fiji.

“He got his start in the industry as a runner on the set of The Hobbit, which led to a full-time position at Weta Digital.

“Representing directors and now photographers was a paradigm-shifting move, and Film Construction continues to spread its reputation as the home of talent.”
