Maunga Media
By Michael Beckmann.

With Maunga Media I specialise in creating visual content for outdoor brands. I do this through shooting for online campaigns, events and other projects. With many years of experience in the photo, video and drone fields, I am well equipped to understand your needs to create captivating visuals. 

In my projects I aim to know your why and set clear expectations on both sides. I believe being honest to each other, and to ourselves, is key in achieving this. 

I love to work with clients that are making people’s lives better through products, or provide an exceptional experience that is hard to forget. Let me capture those experiences for you, so you can focus on serving your customers.

You can look at my WORK or my Instagram to see what I’m up to.

How it started.

In 2017 I spend multiple months in New Zealand. To show my family and friends back home what I was up to, I grabbed my phone and took as many videos as possible. On my laptop I used standard editing software and grabbed royalty free music to make it sound cool. They loved it.
But more importantly, I loved it. 

At the time, I finished my Engineering degree and started working in a business role where I managed clients and projects. That role taught me a lot about working for / with people and businesses. It’s those skills I use on a daily basis and is one of the reasons to be successful in photography and videography. We often think it’s just about taking pictures, but it’s one piece of the puzzle to make a creative project a success. 

Since then I’ve kept investing into better gear and the skills to level up my photography, videography and aim to exceed your expectations.

Right now.

You can find me in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Living here allows me to focus on shooting outdoor content in one the most extreme of environments. Either being up high in an alpine environment, days away deep into the valleys of Fjords or at a mountain hut somewhere on top of a peak. Knowing the environment well, I can give you the best results in the visuals that you need.
