About Wayne Maggs - Darwin Photographer
I’m originally from the UK, where I earned my photography degree before setting off to explore the world with my camera. Along the way, I discovered my passion for capturing human connection through spontaneous portraits, sweeping landscapes and quiet intimate moments.
Life led me to Darwin, where I found love, adventure, and a new home. Together with my wife, Ashton, we’ve explored some of Australia’s most breathtaking places, deepening my appreciation for the endless natural beauty on offer before settling again in Darwin. In 2024 we had our own elopement style wedding in the Northern Territory - Outback style! We really wanted to capture the essence of the NT so we could look back on this moment forever. I found it really special to take location photos in a place we both love and enjoy being able to give that feeling to others.
Outside of photography, I enjoy slow mornings with coffee, watching the curlews around Nightcliff, and soaking up time in nature. I love road trips, riding bikes and I shoot and process my own rolls of film.
Over the years, I’ve explored many corners of photography — from traditional film processing to digital storytelling and even drone work. I focus on creating relaxed, natural-light and personalised photo shoots that celebrate the authentic spirit of the places and people I work with. Whether it’s a milestone event, brand revamp or a travel-inspired shoot, I feel honoured every time someone chooses me to help tell their story.
