Peter Janes

Peter Janes has been capturing images of NZ — and its musicians — for longer than some of his camera assistants have been on the planet. Through Janes' diverse screen career, music forms a major thread. After directing his first music videos as a teen, he went on to helm iconic clips for many Flying Nun bands. Janes has also been director of photography on TV's Jackson’s Wharf and The Topp Twins.

I love music, and I love combining pictures with music. I shot those clips for fun, not money. Peter Janes, on the many music videos he has made for Flying Nun bands
