Few photographers understand the technical aspects of capturing a moment, and of printing a quality photograph.

Phototek, previously Graf Photography was founded back in 1993 by Shane Wenzlick. Shane, discovered his love of photography picking up a camera at 10 years old. Since then Shane's skills have developed rapidly, reaching a level of professional recognition. His distinct style and design have helped create a photographic eye like none other. Achieving a Certificate of Graduation in Professional Photography from the prestigious New York Institute of Photography assured the technical aspects of capturing the moment.

Shane's professional career started in press photography and moved to commercial and product photography. Customers have included such household names as Coca-Cola, Mainfreight, Owens International & Fairfax Media (Suburban Newspapers Auckland).

Awarded Photographer of the Year by New Zealand Football 2003, 2004 & 2007.

Whether Shane is covering a major sporting event, or shooting an informal portrait for an annual report, he always conducts himself in a professional manner.
