Waikato Regional Theatre project nears completion

It was a pre-dawn start on site this week, with concrete contractors pouring the courtyard slab alongside the Waikato Regional Theatre at Embassy Park, as this landmark project moves into its final stages.

It’s great to see the Riff Raff statue now in place, adding a distinctive finishing touch to the precinct. While I wasn’t on site at 5:00am to capture the action, the time-lapse camera that has been documenting progress over the past four years recorded the moment.

As the project nears completion, the team at Foster Construction will be looking forward to a well-earned break after an incredible effort.

It’s rewarding to see it come together for the region.

Which one to choose?

The compact and sporty GLA, the elegant CLA Coupe, or the stunning GLE 450d?

Waikato Regional Theatre – Time-Lapse Photography

These photos, taken during April over the past three years, showcase the ongoing transformation of the Waikato Regional Theatre site in Hamilton.

They're just a glimpse of the 62,000+ images captured so far for a comprehensive time-lapse video, documenting the journey from demolition to completion of this distinctive Jasmax-designed venue.

The project is now in its final stages, with completion expected August 2025. It’s shaping up to be an extraordinary building, thanks to the efforts of the Foster Group team.

This is one of 15 long-term time-lapse projects we’ve completed for commercial construction builds across Tauranga, Hamilton, Cambridge, and Palmerston North. These projects can span anywhere from 9 months to over 3 years.

Projects include
Bayfair Shopping Centre: Woolworths, Dine Precinct & Cinema
Foster Construction: Vantage & Selwyn Street Apartments, Tauranga, Hamilton Christian School, UPC Group Building (Horotiu) & APL / AGP Hautapu facility
Maycroft Construction: Manukura School
Chalmers Property (Te Rapa Gateway Ltd): Commercial buildings for NZ Windows, Altus Aluminium, Spectrum Aluminium, RML, and NZ Steel & Tube

Our work relies on solar-powered, state-of-the-art time-lapse camera units that upload images in real time via cellular network, allowing stakeholders to view progress instantly through a secure web portal.

Recent work for Serge Ferrari

I was fortunate to be selected by French photo agency to photograph Andrew Lingman, the GM of Baytex Manufacturing Ltd, for – the French textile manufacturer – to celebrate their 50 years in business!

This isn’t my first assignment for Baytex, there been several over the years—back in 2011, I had the privilege of photographing the then-director, Wendy Tankard, for Specialty Fabric Review magazine, highlighting her efforts to bring women apprentices into the business.

Excited to reflect on these long-lasting industry relationships and to continue celebrating the legacy of Baytex and Serge Ferrari!

Tauriko Development 2007 till today

It’s amazing to see how much Tauranga has grown.

I recently had the opportunity to capture some aerial photographs of Tauranga City. These two images—one from March 2007 and the other from today—show the development change over 18 years.

Over the years, I’ve taken many aerial photographs of Tauriko, including The Crossing and surrounding commercial projects, but this particular aerial view is one I haven’t replicated until now.

In our work, it’s the dedication to our craft and the pursuit of excellence that transforms ordinary moments into lasting images
