About Ōtara

Ōtara is a South Auckland suburb with strong Pasifika and Māori communities, known for the Ōtara Markets held on Saturday mornings beside the town centre. Manukau Institute of Technology’s main campus is here.

For a shoot

The Saturday market, the town centre and local parks and sports grounds give colour and real local character.

For an event

Church halls, community centres and sports clubs suit family milestones, cultural celebrations and community events.

Who is here

Market stallholders, food businesses, education, churches and community organisations.

Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so shoots in Ōtara need no travel.
