Reimagining That Mountain Of Washing

Thousands of Zoom chats, hangouts, group videos and conference calls are being made from bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and the couch across New Zealand during the lockdown. And if there’s one thing that unites us – it’s laundry in the background.

This intimate revelation into the lives of our colleagues is less endearing than it is awkward.

Local photographer, and 17-year-old, Aparima High School student Dom Riddell has a solution. Facing the challenges of selling printed works in lockdown, Dom’s business has pivoted to a new product. Customised Whenua Zoom backgrounds.

Now you can keep your privacy intact, and your brand looking sharp with Dom’s vistas of Aotearoa’s immense mountain ranges and winding rivers.

Dom originally planned to sell photography printed on Canvas to homeowners with bare walls, and now as part of the Young Enterprise Scheme, he’s selling unique backgrounds vistas he’s photographed, personalised with your company logo. He’ll even help install them.

“How much is It worth not to have to see your boss’s underwear?”
