Photographer Jazmin Tainui Mihi Paget-Knebel recently won the Kīingi Tuheitia Portraiture Award.
The 22-year-old of Te Whānau a Apanui, Whakatōhea, Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Hine descent won for a striking frame of a child on horseback - and if you look at her instagram page you'll see many such insights into life around Ōpōtiki.
She talks to Mihi and Susie.
