Cinematographer Warrick ‘Waka' Attewell has been shooting images of New Zealand for over 30 years. He began his career at John O' Shea's Pacific Films and later established his own production company Valhalla Films, where he has filmed and directed a run of commercials, films and documentaries.
His ability to home in on the emotional dimensions of a film... and to devise the appropriate lighting and camera style, often at a tangent to strict naturalism, lends his work distinction and enduring quality.
– Author Duncan Petrie, Shot in New Zealand: The Art and Craft of the Kiwi Cinematographer
