George D. Valentine was a Scottish photographer, who relocated to New Zealand due to his health, and documented much of the country at a time of great transition - his images of the Pink And White Terraces , taken in 1885, show scenes of incredible beauty, which were destroyed less than a year later by the eruption of Mount Tarawera. An exhibition of his work was mounted by the Christchurch Art Gallery in 2004, and continues to tour. The Alexander Turnbull Library at the National Archives in Wellington also hosts a catalogue of historic images, many of which can be viewed online and browsed by location, name, and more. Modern New Zealand commercial, media and fine art photographers include the late Brian Brake , a member of Magnum Photos , 2006 Pulitzer Prize winner Melanie Burford, Anne Geddes , Craig Potton, Andris Apse, Marti Friedlander, Ans Westra , Fraser Harding , Simon Townsley, Rob Suisted and many more. Regan Cameron is an ex-pat New Zealand photographer. The New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography has a membership of 250 professional photographers, and the Advertising & Illustrative Photographers Association comprises another hundred or more. Many amateur and professional New Zealand photographers are members of PhotoForum NZ, a non-profit society that publishes PhotoForum magazine and a gallery website and organises exhibitions, workshops and lectures. The Photographic Society of New Zealand is also a popular group for amateurs, representing the camera clubs from Cape Reinga to Bluff. PHOTOGRAPHIC ORGANISATIONS
