He's been earning the trust of iwi and being invited in with his camera for several years, building up a large body of work that's also an historical record.
In 2014 he won a national photo award for his shots of the re-enactment of the Battle of Gate Pa. Bob is sharing a selection of images from his Faces of Tauranga Moana portfolio at the upcoming Tauranga Arts Festival, ahead of a major exhibition.
