About Us

Krafty Kiwi, which is made up of photographer Louise Horrod and her sidekick Kevin the Kiwi, produces a range of photographic canvases and prints. Louise explains the ethos of Krafty Kiwi....

Specialising in landscape photography, I aim to capture an artistic representation of the natural environment. I can also work with your own photographs, enhancing and editing them to your own specifications, and creating high quality canvases and prints.

Kevin the Kiwi presents his own gallery and offers a fun take on photographic prints and crafts for younger audiences.

Affordability: Krafty Kiwi's products are competitively priced and can be purchased in varying sizes and formats to suit your budget.

Flexibility: I offer a flexible service and will work with you to optimise your own images and fulfill your requirements. I provide a bespoke service and will invest that little bit extra time and detail to create unique gifts.

 

Based in Tavistock, I am fortunate to be surrounded by a stunning diversity of landscapes, from the beautiful Cornish coast and Tamar Valley to the wild and rugged vistas of Dartmoor.

Since childhood I have always had a passion for photography and enjoyed wielding my camera at every opportunity.

Keen to develop my hobby, I completed a GCSE in Photography and a City & Guilds in Photo Manipulation, which introduced me to new tools and techniques. The utilisation of software to enhance and manipulate images offers an additional creative element to photography.

The simplest joy remains, however, in getting out and about, and trying to capture what the eye sees. Exploring the Cornish and Devonshire countryside is a continuous joy, and the temperamental weather does not put me off striving for the 'perfect shot'.

 
 

I met up with Kevin the Kiwi whilst travelling in New Zealand. He became my travelling buddy and we experienced many adventures together.

As my travelling sidekick, he endeared himself to everyone he met with his cheeky, mischievous and crafty character. Keen to develop my photographic venture when I returned to Cornwall, the idea for Krafty Kiwi was born!
