I started taking photos at the end of 2003 when my parents bought me my first camera to use for geology fieldwork. I started using online photo-sharing websites to find photos of places I was travelling to and to get ideas, and decided that I wanted to give something back and help others get ideas and get inspired about New Zealand. Am completely self-taught, mainly through these websites and getting inspiration from all of you :) Thank you all very much for your support and encouragement!
My husband Dave and I are Kiwis. We live in Christchurch, the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand/Aotearoa (although Dave is originally from Rotorua in the North Island). We love to travel and really love the outdoors!
We really love our little country so most of my photos are New Zealand landscapes (but also landscapes from our travels) and particularly anything to do with rocks/geology. I have a particular love for black and white formats.
Some New Zealand photographers I find inspiring: Craig Potton, Andris Apse, Rob Brown and Lloyd Homer (a geology photographer from the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences).
Also Peter Dombrovskis and Ian Wallace of Tasmania, Joe Cornish of Britain, Americans Don Paulson, Marc Adamus, Galen Rowell and Ansel Adams

"I just have to say that Kate's photography is outstanding. If you want to see some of the natural splendour of NZ, Kate is amongst the best I have found so far at capturing it. Nice work, you never fail to make me miss home! :)"

Daniel Murray (southnz) says:
"When I first came across Flickr about a year ago, the first thing I did was search out photos of my favourite place in the world, the South Island of New Zealand. In amongst the results I would continually come across some incredibly beautiful images, and was soon to discover that they all had one thing in common – Kate. Thank you Kate, for capturing the places I love, and for doing such an outstanding job of it!"

"Si usted quiere hacer un recorrido por uno de los países más bellos del mundo, este es el lugar indicado para hacerlo, al menos fotográficamente. Yo espero ir pronto a conocer en persona al menos algunas de las maravillas de Nueva Zelandia que nos muestra Kate en sus fabulosas fotos.
Además, tiene virtuosas fotos de los parques nacionales de Estados Unidos, dignas del maestro Ansel Adams.
Hago un brindis con un buen vino de Chile por estas fotos y felicitaciones!!"23rd January, 2008

"It's only the third time since one year that I write comments here for someone! I'm french, so it's hard to find the good words, but when I discovered Kate Bodger's photostream, I was so impressed by her vision of nature that I decide that I must go to new-Zealand a day, at least before my death! Thanks you to share all those precious moment of light in nature!"

Alpine Light & Structure says:
"It's geology but is it art? It certainly is when klb49 is behind the camera. She's the proof of what John Ruskin said in "Modern Painters", the manifesto of all mountain photographers - you have to understand the landscape to depict it. Take a look at these pages and you'll understand the landscape too ...."

"Kate, boy do you deserve these few words from my heart.
Your work has given me and Flickr an emosional lift that is
very rare to find.
You are an artist that can see with your heart and I thankyou
from the botom of mine for sharing it with me.
I am a very emosional kind of guy, so your gallery is maybe a
bit unhealthy for me!
Pitty your taken and only 24!"26th October, 2006

"Kate is truly an ambassador for New Zealand. As I scanned through her images, I found myself more and more tempted to pick up the phone for airline reservations. Although I've been to the North Island on a number of occasions, I have not visited the incredible South Island. Thanks Kate for pointing out what I've missed. :)"
