Fergus Duncan

Heretaunga,WGN

Summary

Hi, my name is Fergus Duncan (Ferg).@fergduncanphoto

I have completed my Honours degree in fine arts with my major being in Film. This is a

4-year honours degree.

I grew up surrounded by the outdoors, always optimizing and exploring the rugged

landscape Aotearoa has to offer, whether that be the Maunga - Oneone me Hukāpunga

(mountain - dirt and snow) and hone (ocean swell). My strong desire for all things

adrenaline filled and unique ran as parrels when I turned my adrenaline filled life into a

craft. When I picked up a camera at 12 years old and turned my hobbies into a obsession.

It became more then just collecting memories with my friends rather expressing my

imagination which is filled with all things fast passed into reality. My life through the eye of

the camera.
