Based on the wild West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, Rachel is an award winning nightscape photographer, tutor and guide, specialising in wide-field panoramic nightscape imagery.

Her lifelong obsession with the cosmos evolved into astrophotography in 2016, leading to years of dedicated self taught learning and refinement, both in the field and in post processing.

Rachel’s bright and vibrant imagery, combined with her patience, precision, and determination, has seen her work recognised and exhibited both in New Zealand and internationally.

A strong advocate for protecting and promoting the value of dark skies, Rachel uses her imagery, workshops and guided photography experiences not only to teach her craft, but to encourage others to slow down, look up, and connect with both the night sky and the rugged, pristine beauty of New Zealand. Through her work, she raises awareness of the importance of truly dark skies, not only for astrophotography, but for our connection to the natural world, the health of our ecosystems, and the ability to experience the night sky as it is meant to be seen.

 Jassi Oberai is a photographer, content creator, and photography educator based in India, known for his evocative work across landscapes, portraiture, and everyday human moments. With a signature command of color and light, his images carry a quiet permanence — the kind that stays with you long after you've seen them.

Jassi's journey with photography began in 2008, and by 2010 he had made a defining choice — leaving a 15-year career to follow the craft full time. He began leading workshops for Canon India that same year, and in 2013 founded Light Chasers Photography, a platform built on one simple belief: that great photography is as much about seeing differently as it is about technical skill.

That philosophy eventually grew into Xploring Light — his brand and creative home where he shares techniques, perspectives, and a deeper approach to image-making with photographers at every level.

A Lumix Brand Ambassador and the first Indian member of the global Lumix Creators' Backstage, Jassi has carried his camera across India and beyond — chasing the kind of light that transforms the ordinary into something worth remembering. Whether on a remote trail or in front of a workshop room, his mission remains the same: to keep exploring, keep unlearning, and keep passing it on.

From there, she built a career as an expedition leader and wildlife photographer, combining scientific knowledge with a passion for exploration and storytelling.
