Howick Frames- Through the lens

Through the Lens

Through Our Lens is a curated collection of photographs by the Howick Photographic Society (HPS), a long-standing creative cornerstone of East Auckland. For over seven decades, the society has nurtured a shared passion for photography, fostering connection, creativity, and storytelling within the local community.

HPS brings together photographers of all experience levels - from those picking up a camera for the first time to seasoned professionals. Through a culture of peer-to-peer mentorship, members learn from one another, refining their technical skills while developing a deeper understanding of visual narrative.

The works presented in this exhibition reflect the society’s ongoing engagement with the community. Each image captures moments of connection, celebration, and everyday life, revealing the people, places, and experiences that shape East Auckland. Together, these photographs form a collective portrait - one that honours the richness, diversity, and spirit of the community, as seen through the eyes of those who know it best.
