#2513 A Photographers Journey

- in forensics and medicine

Speaker Fiona Foxall

Date Saturday 28th June 10am - 1pm

Venue Waikanae Presbyterian Church Hall, 43 Ngaio Road, Waikanae

Join Fiona, a long-time Porirua local, as she reflects on her career that spans over three decades and three distinct fields of photography: forensic, medical, and real estate. Fiona began her career as a frontline police officer in 1987 before moving into forensic photography. During that time, she documented everything from domestic incidents and arsons to fatal accidents and homicides, providing critical visual evidence for countless investigations.

In 2019, Fiona transitioned into medical photography at Wellington Hospital, capturing images for medical records and post-mortem examinations. Now semi-retired, she channels her skills into real estate photography, helping local properties shine. Through stories and personal insights, Fiona will take you behind the lens of her extraordinary career, offering a rare glimpse into the world of forensic and medical photography, and how these experiences have shaped her life today.
