Sarah and Todd Sissons started photographing the great outdoors in 1997, when they both purchased their first Nikon SLRs while living and travelling in Canada. Their transition to full-time professional photographers came about in 2001 when they opened a commercial photography and video studio, Lighthaus, in Dunedin.

In 2007, Sarah and Todd decided to focus their energies on their first photographic love – landscape and nature photography and, consequently, Sisson Photography – sisson.co.nz – fresh New Zealand imagery was born.

Todd has published a highly successful instructional e-book, Living Landscapes (2013) – a guide to taking great landscape photos, which has sold tens of thousands of copies. This was followed up, in 2014, with Loving Landscapes – a guide from shooting through to post-production of images written by both Todd and Sarah.

Sarah and Todd live in the small village of Alexandra, Central Otago, with their two children, Jack and India.
