Hello
My name is Lize Deng, and I am a photographer and writer. Human-centred storytelling is at the heart of all my work, from local history projects to theatre and charity events.
As a writer, I am interested in narrative histories. I love zooming in on ordinary people's lives to explore broader historical stories. For my latest project, Sandringham Stories, I am interviewing local senior residents to capture the suburb's evolution amid the backdrop of their experiences.
I love exploring New Zealand's stunning landscapes and photographing human interactions with the natural world. As a pianist, I am fascinated by the intersection of the performing and visual arts, and you can often find me photographing dance and theatre onstage.
When I'm not making artwork or writing, I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
