Hello, I'm Aliscia Young, a photographer and award-winning filmmaker based in Tasman Bay, New Zealand.
I love working with people and business owners to capture their unique vision on camera so that they can launch their product into the world.
Whether you need a fresh, new portrait photo to use across social media and business platforms, or someone to capture the essence of your business idea or story in an innovative way, I’d be delighted to support you with my fifteen-years of experience working as a photographer and videographer in New Zealand and across the globe.
My creativity has taken me to some of the wildest and remotest locations on the planet, including the Darien jungle of Panama and experiencing the vibrant cultures of West Papua and Papua New Guinea, walking through the deserts of the Atacama and hiking glaciers in the northern reaches of the Arctic, interviewing Inuit in Greenland and experiencing the wild rolling seas of the Drake Passage.
Assignments have taken me to work extensively throughout the South Pacific immersed in deep blue oceans and exploring coral reefs. In Iceland I have plunged into icy waters, volcanic calderas and free-dived between the continental plates of the North American and European continents.
On assignment in Dominica I have snorkelled alongside Sperm whales and filmed Leatherback Sea Turtles nesting on the islands black-sand beaches.
I am a co-founder of Galaxiid, a New Zealand production company creating immersive experiences through visual storytelling.
Nature and the underwater world are where I gather true inspiration for my work.

This is my second time working with Aliscia and she works magic! Aliscia manages to deliver exactly what I have imagined plus more.
She delivers my images with the exact mood as well as personalised to my style. Absolutely highly recommended!

I recently worked with Aliscia to have some professional work profile photos taken. First of all, she is such a lovely, warming person. She listened to what I was wanting and delivered perfectly - I now have some fantastic photos to use on my corporate profiles. Aliscia is a complete natural behind the camera and has a calming presence which made me feel reassured and able to relax during my shoot (as I am not one for self-portraits). I highly recommend her for any photography needs. Thank you again Aliscia!
