Before MATCH my dream was to start my own photography business. The challenge I had was Covid hit which caused my photography business to cease.

I saw the MATCH programme as an opportunity to add something to my business add make it not just photography

Now my ambition is to combine photography and audio for movies and live performances.

“Maaka is a strong leader, he often took charge in group projects.

His Audio work that he has done for Māoriland Productions has been amazing.“
