About Geoff:
Geoff Dale joined the New Zealand Herald as a photographer in 1970, where he spent 28 years on staff before going freelance. Throughout his years at the Herald, Geoff published almost 20,000 photos; he found it a privilege to be "the man on the spot," capturing the moment, whether it was the Pope visiting New Zealand or Michael Jones scoring the first try at the inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup.
In 2019 he began a project to photograph the 36th America’s Cup using a 1909 Auto Graflex camera with a Ross of London 20-inch telephoto lens manufactured in about 1900. The old technology of film and large format photography has given the images a timeless look while photographing the cutting edge of yachting technology.
