Craig Harris is the owner of Boarder Distribution Ltd and Boardroom Ltd, helping build New Zealand’s early snowboard/skateboard retail and distribution scene. He’s also a long-time skateboard photographer with 40 years of experience capturing the culture through photos and imagery used in local publications and for musicians via live gigs.
His photography business began with a highly successful week-long exhibition at Thistle Hall in Wellington, leading to product creation such as coffee table books, fine art prints, calendars, travel books, and community-festival coverage that continues to evolve. He actively creates new products from recent trips to Bali, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka.
